Trial summary

Randomized controlled trial, comparing two groups of 40 patients each scheduled for open major abdominal surgery. The intervention group was ventilated with a protective strategy consisting on a low Tidal volume (Vt) (6ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW)), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) = 10 cm H2O and… Read more about this study

About this study

Randomized controlled trial, comparing two groups of 40 patients each scheduled for open major abdominal surgery. The intervention group was ventilated with a protective strategy consisting on a low Tidal volume (Vt) (6ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW)), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) = 10 cm H2O and recruitment manoeuvres (RM) after disconnection from the ventilator, the control group had classic ventilation (Vt = 8 ml/kg of PBW, PEEP = 4 cmH2O and no RM).

Read the detailed description

This randomized controlled trial, was approved by the institutional ethics committee of our hospital. Informed consent was obtained from all the participants before randomization. Investigators included 80 patients (40 in each group), ASA I or II, planned for open abdominal surgery lasting more than 2 hours under general anesthesia.

Patients were not included if they had specially acute respiratory disease, severe asthma or emphysema, sleep apnea syndrome, septic shock and body mass index (BMI) < 16 or > 35 Kg/m2. Participants were excluded in case of serious peroperative anesthetic complications or hemorrhagic shock.

Primary endpoint was postoperative pulmonary complications occurring within the first 7 days after surgery (defined as hypoxemia, Broncho-pneumopathy, pulmonary infiltrate, acute respiratory distress syndrome, atelectasis, pleural effusion).

Secondary endpoints for all participants were intra-operative complications (change in SpO2 when dropped less than 90%, hypotension <90 mmHg lasting more than 3 min, need for vasopressor administration, new arrhythmia), postoperative extrapulmonary complications (septic shock, postoperative surgical complications, heart disease complications). Investigators recorded for all participants length of hospital stay and mortality rate were .

Investigators randomly allocated patients before entering to the operating room to:

  • Control Group (CG): patients ventilated with Vt of 8 ml/kg of predicted body weight (PBW), a low level of PEEP (4 cm H2O) without RM.
  • Protective Ventilation Group (PVG): patients ventilated with a low Vt of 6 ml/Kg of PBW, a high level of PEEP (10 cm H2O), RMs applied after intubation, before extubation and in case of disconnection from the ventilator.

Other ventilation settings, type of anesthesia, fluid administration and post operative pain management were standardized.

In the postoperative period, investigators daily assessed clinical examination and arterial blood gas if pulse oximetry dropped. For all participants, a chest X ray, blood count creatinine and C reactive protein were done at day 1 and day 3.

Data were presented as means and standard deviation [SD] or frequencies. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS statistical software version 20.0. A p-value of 0.05 was considered significant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing protective ventilation in people with Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury and Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by Mongi Slim Hospital.

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 24 May 2017. 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?

Postoperative pulmonary complications (time frame: Postoperative pulmonary complications within the first 7 days after surgery). 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 24 May 2017.
