About this study

The aim of this clinical investigation is to determine the effect of intraoperative ventilation on cerebral oxygen saturation in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach chair position (BCP)

Read the detailed description

Recent developments in near-infrared spectroscopy technology now permit rapid assessment of cerebral oxygenation (SctO2) using non-invasive probes. A high incidence cerebral desaturation events (CDE-defined as a decrease in SctO2 values below 20% of baseline measures or absolute SctO2 values ≤ 55 for ≥ 15 seconds) have been observed in previous investigation of patients undergoing shoulder surgery in BCP with hyperventilation. The investigators hypothesize that the incidence of CDE will be reduced in patients ventilated at normocapnic levels (end-tidal carbon dioxide values (ETCO2) of 40-42 mm Hg) when compared to subjects hyperventilated (ETCO2 of 30-32 mm Hg) in the operating room. Patients undergoing shoulder surgery in the BCP will be randomized to a hypocapnic group (ETCO2 of 30-32 mm Hg) or a normocapnic group (ETCO2 of 40-42 mm Hg). Cerebral oxygenation will be measured continuously throughout the procedure to assess perioperative SctO2 values and the incidence of CDE. The investigators previously observed an association between CDE in the operating room and postoperative nausea and vomiting. Therefore, the effect of ventilatory pattern and intraoperative SctO2 on clinical recovery will also be determined.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypocapnic group and Normocapnic group in people with Cerebral Ischemia, run by Endeavor Health at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 30 Sep 2019. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Dec 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence of Cerebral Desaturation Events (time frame: Intraoperative-first 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01546636, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Sep 2019.
