About this study

In patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery with trendelenburg position, the disturbance of pulmonary gas exchange frequently occurs due to high intra-abdominal pressure. The investigators tried to evaluate the effect of various inspiratory to expiratory ratio on pulmonary gas exchange by randomized controlled trial.

Read the detailed description

In patients undergoing gynecologic laparoscopic surgery with trendelenburg position, the disturbance of pulmonary gas exchange frequently occurs due to high intra-abdominal pressure. During the laparoscopic surgery with abdominal gas insufflation, gas exchange disturbance such as CO2 retention, hypoxemia occurs in addition to high plateau airway pressure. The usual strategy against these kinds of problem is pressure-controlled ventilation. However, the gas exchange problem especially CO2 retention can not be solved in some cases. The inverse-ratio ventilation (IRV), which prolongs the inspiratory time greater than expiratory time, can be applied for adult respiratory distress syndrome. The efficacy of IRV is to improve gas-exchange status by increasing mean airway pressure and alveolar recruitment. There have been several clinical investigations which applied IRV during general anesthesia. However, there have been debates about the effect of IRV during general anesthesia. Therefore, we tried to apply the IRV for subjects undergoing laparoscopic surgery, and evaluate the effect of different I:E ratio on the pulmonary gas exchange and respiratory mechanics.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing conventional I:E ratio, 1:1 ratio and 2:1 group in people with Uterine Myoma and Ovarian Cyst, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

arterial CO2 partial pressure (time frame: 10 minutes after induction of general anesthesia). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Oct 2012.
