About this study

Official title: Acute Effect of EPAP and Noninvasive Ventilation on Pulmonary Function, Regional Lung Ventilation and Respiratory Mechanics on Patients Submitted Bariatric Surgery Evaluated by Spirometry and Electric Impedance Tomography: A Clinical Trial Controlled Randomized

Obesity is a non-communicable chronic disease of multifactorial, involving biological, historical, ecological, economic, social, cultural and political. Currently, bariatric surgery is considered an effective method of refractory obesity treatment, and only severe obesity effective treatment that leads to reduced long-term weight. It is well documented in the literature regarding the association of abdominal surgery and the incidence of respiratory complications and its main characteristics are: atelectasis, pneumonia, respiratory dysfunction and pleural effusion. All these respiratory complications can be minimized or avoided with the use of a respiratory therapy care protocol, since the pulmonary atelectasis is considered the main cause of complications. An arsenal of resources to physical therapy lung expansion, among these, the application of positive pressure through a valve EPAP (Expiratory positive airway Pressure) and the use of noninvasive ventilation, and aims to prevent and / or improve the complications resulting from postoperative. The electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an alternate to allow assessment of the respiratory system, without suffering the same interference conditions of patients, such as pain and bed rest. TIE consists of a method that measures passively regional lung ventilation. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of the application of EPAP and NIV on pulmonary ventilation we post bariatric surgery. This is a randomized controlled trial where patients will be divided into two groups: EPAP and NIV and assessed by spirometry, manometer and TIE. The techniques will be applied in the 1st and 2nd postoperative day where they will be evaluated before, during and after the application of the techniques.

What participants receive

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

  • Noninvasive VentilationOther

    Also called NIV

    Noninvasive ventilation for 15 minutes with EPAP set at 10 cmH2O and IPAP adjusted to maintain a tidal volume of 6 ml / kg ideal weight.

  • Expiratory Positive Air PressureOther

    Also called EPAP

    EPAP through facial mask with valve spring load for 15 minutes set at 10 cmH2O.

What is being measured

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

  1. Regional Pulmonary Ventilation

    Assessment of regional ventilation through the variables of electrical impedance tomography , Delta Z (impedance variation) in the anterior and posterior region, and right and left lung.

    Measured: six months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Effects of bariatric surgery on respiratory muscle strength

    Assessment of maximum inspiratory pressure by manometer before and after bariatric surgery .

    Measured: Six months

  2. Patient perception of evaluation and assessing the quality of postoperative recovery

    Evaluation by applying the Global Quality of recovery -40 questionnaire (QoR -40) at 24 and 48 hours after the surgical procedure.

    Measured: Six months

  3. Effects of bariatric surgery on lung function

    Evaluation by spirometry, considering the variables, CV, FEV1, FVC, PEF, FEV1/FVC, FEF 25-75 %.

    Measured: Six months

  4. Adverse effects of technical and EPAP NIV

    Through evaluation of open questions about the occurrence of adverse effects during the technique, such as headache, nausea, dizziness, discomfort, nausea and vomiting.

    Measured: Six months

  5. Therapeutic effect time of the EPAP and NIV

    Quantify the therapeutic effect of time of the technical EPAP and NIV by analyzing the variables of the impedance electrical tomography , Average electrical impedance at the end of expiration (MIEFE) and monitoring this baseline during the post technique period at times 5 and 30 minutes post intervention.

    Measured: six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Noninvasive Ventilation and Expiratory Positive Air Pressure in people with Bariatric Surgery and Obesity, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sóstynis JA Silva, Mastering (+558199750784, sostynis@bol.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Regional Pulmonary Ventilation (time frame: six months). 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 3 Jan 2018.
