About this study

Official title: A Study of the Effect of Arterial Carbon Dioxide Tension on the Recovery of Spontaneous Respiration With Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) During High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) Under General Anesthesia

The investigators data reveal an important new observation regarding the recovery of breathing during emergence from general anesthesia: respiration resumes as a prolonged abdominal expiration event.

The present study aims to further clarify the physiology of recovery of breathing with the addition of a cutaneous monitor for arterial carbon dioxide measurement and a comparison of two different recovery paradigms.

Read the detailed description

The present study will use non-invasive respiratory inductance plethysmography(RIP) and transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurement to compare recovery of respiration under constant Transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurement( ptcCO2) with continuous high frequency jet ventilation HFJV (study method) with recovery of respiration during rising and apnea (current standard).

The investigators hypothesize that the prolonged abdominal expiration that we observed during recovery of breathing in prior studies will be unaffected by arterial carbon dioxide (CO2) levels.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Continuation of High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV)Other

    In Group B, after cessation of anesthetic infusions, High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) will continue through the endotracheal tube. Patient will be extubated when awake. Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP) and Transcutaneous carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) measurements will continue for the duration of emergence.

Standard anesthesia regimenNo interventionPositive pressure ventilation will be stopped at the same time infusions of anesthetic agents and spontaneous ventilation employed until emergence from anesthesia is observed. (This is standard protocol for everyday anesthesia management of this population.)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. spontaneous breathing

    The primary variable will be first breath as detected by Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography (RIP. This will occur in the operating room at the end of the surgery and anesthesia.)

    Measured: Day 0 in the operating room occurring in the specific time frame of the end of anesthesia to patient 's first breath

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuation of High Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV) in people with Surgery and Anesthesia, run by University of Pennsylvania 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 4 inclusion and 8 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 23 Apr 2018. 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. 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?

spontaneous breathing (time frame: Day 0 in the operating room occurring in the specific time frame of the end of anesthesia to patient 's first breath). 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 23 Apr 2018.
