Trial summary

Lung isolation technique is useful for lung or heart surgeries for better visualization. Double lumen endobronchial tube and bronchial blocker are available for lung isolation. Adding disconnection technique before lung isolation is helpful to accelerate the lung deflation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Utility of Disconnection Technique for One Lung Ventilation: a Comparison of a Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube With a Bronchial Blocker

Lung isolation technique is useful for lung or heart surgeries for better visualization. Double lumen endobronchial tube and bronchial blocker are available for lung isolation. Adding disconnection technique before lung isolation is helpful to accelerate the lung deflation. However, the utility of disconnection technique has never been evaluated in comparison of double lumen tube and bronchial blocker. Therefore, the utility of disconnection technique in two different lung isolation technique, double lumen tube and bronchial blocker will be evaluated

What participants receive

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

  • disconnection techniqueOther

    Before lung isolation, the ventilator stays switched-off until the carbon dioxide on the capnogram reached to zero. Then, inflate the balloon either on the double lumen tube or on the bronchial blocker.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lung deflation score

    verbal analog scale(0=no deflation, 10=complete deflation)

    Measured: 10 min after inflation of balloon

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. time for initial placement

    Measured: from beginning of intubation until confirmation of adequate placement with bronchoscope, approximately 5 minute

  2. time for lung deflation

    Measured: from turning the ventilator off until the carbon dioxide reach to zero on capnography, within 2 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing disconnection technique in people with Pneumothorax, run by Ajou University School of Medicine.

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 6 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 6 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Lung deflation score (time frame: 10 min after inflation of balloon). 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 6 Nov 2018.
