About this study

Official title: The Ultrasound Estimation of Extravascular Lung Water in Volume Controlled Versus Pressure Controlled Ventilation After One Lung Ventilation in Thoracoscopic Surgery. A Comparative Study

Volume controlled ventilation (VCV) and pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) are the common ventilatory modes during OLV undergoing thoracic surgery. A controversy regarding which ventilation mode is better for oxygenation during OLV with PCV enhances oxygenation more than VCV ;given its initial high peak inspiratory flow rates and its rapidly decelerating flow pattern. However, this high peak inspiratory flow rate might also provoke lung injury via shearing and traction forces on the alveoli. Extravascular lung water describes water within the lungs but outside pulmonary vasculature. Lung ultrasound (LUS) assessment of EVLW by B-lines provides a reliable and easy alternative.

What participants receive

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

  • volume controlled ventilationDiagnostic test

    Also called LUS

    Lung ultrasound (LUS) will be performed with a 2-4 MHz phased array probe. Patients will be scanned in supine position by a recording 5 seconds videos. LUS will be assessed for the presence of B lines.

    The sum of lung comets produces a score reflecting the extent of lung water accumulation. LUS will be obtained by scanning 12-rib interspaces. The sum of B-lines on each scanning site yields a score from 0 to 36

What is being measured

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

  1. Lung ultrasound score

    The sum of B lines reflects the extent of lung water accumulation. The lung ultrasound score(LUS) will be obtained by scanning 12-rib interspaces. The dependent lung will be divided into six areas: two anterior areas, two lateral areas, and two posterior areas. The anterior chest wall (zone 1) will be delineated from the parasternal to the anterior axillary line and will be divided into upper and lower halves, from the clavicle to the third intercostal space and from the third to the diaphragm. The lateral area (zone 2) will be delineated from the anterior to the posterior axillary line and was divided into upper and basal halves. The posterior area (zone 3) will be considered as the zone beyond the posterior axillary line. The sum of B-lines on each scanning site (0: absence; 1: B7 lines: multiple B-lines 7 mm apart; 2: B3 lines: multiple B 3 mm apart; 3: consolidation) yields a score from 0 to 36(10) score for the ventilated lung is only from 0-18.

    Measured: change of lung ultrasound scores introperatively during double lung and single lung ventilation and after 2 hours postoperatively compared to baseline scores before anesthesia induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Extravascular Lung Water, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 10 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 5 Mar 2019. 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 Egypt. 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?

Lung ultrasound score (time frame: change of lung ultrasound scores introperatively during double lung and single lung ventilation and after 2 hours postoperatively compared to baseline scores before anesthesia induction). 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 5 Mar 2019.
