Trial summary

The steep trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery have the potential to cause an adverse effects on respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. Previous studies have proposed that a prolonged I:E ratio ventilation improved respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. Read more about this study

About this study

The steep trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery have the potential to cause an adverse effects on respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. Previous studies have proposed that a prolonged I:E ratio ventilation improved respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate whether a prolonged I:E ratio ventilation improves gas exchange and respiratory mechanics in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Being tested
prolonged inspiratory to expiratory (I:E) ratio (1:1), conventional I:E ratio (1:2)

What participants receive

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

  • prolonged inspiratory to expiratory (I:E) ratio (1:1)Other

    80 patients are randomly allocated into two groups : prolonged I:E ratio (1:1) (n=40) and conventional I:E ratio (1:2) group (n=40). In the prolonged I:E ratio (1:1), mechanical ventilation is maintained with during I:E ratio 1:1 during steep trendelenburg with pneumoperitoneum.

  • conventional I:E ratio (1:2)Other

    80 patients are randomly allocated into two groups : prolonged I:E ratio (1:1) (n=40) and conventional I:E ratio (1:2) group (n=40). In the conventional I:E ratio (1:2) group (n=40), mechanical ventilation is maintained with during I:E ratio 1:2 during steep trendelenburg with pneumoperitoneum.

What is being measured

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

  1. The peak inspiratory pressure

    The peak inspiratory pressure during mechanical ventilation with endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia

    Measured: before 10 minutes after anesthesia induction, 30 and 60 minutes after steep trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum, and 10 minutes after supine position and CO2 desufflation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing prolonged inspiratory to expiratory (I:E) ratio (1:1) and conventional I:E ratio (1:2) in people with General Anesthesia Using Endotracheal Intubation, run by Yonsei University 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 May 2014. 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?

The peak inspiratory pressure (time frame: before 10 minutes after anesthesia induction, 30 and 60 minutes after steep trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum, and 10 minutes after supine position and CO2 desufflation). 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 NCT01892449, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 May 2014.
