About this study

Official title: Can the Effects of High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation on Postoperative Atelectasis be Evaluated With Lung Ultrasound: A Randomized Controlled Prospective Study

Evaluate the effects of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy on atelectasis in the perioperative period by lung ultrasound (LUS) in bariatric surgery patients.

Read the detailed description

In obese patients, lung compliance decreases by 25% and Functional Residual Capacity decreases by about one-third. As they consume about 25% more oxygen than non-obese individuals, postoperative pulmonary complications occur more commonly. POINT (Peri-Operative Insufflatory Nasal Therapy) provides humidified and heated high flow oxygen therapy in perioperative period. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) facilitates oxygenation and ventilation of both the spontaneously breathing and apnoeic patient.High-flow nasal cannula oxygen came to prominence in anaesthesia when it was shown to prolong the time to oxygen desaturation in patients with a difficult airway.

Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has been used more frequently in the diagnosis of pulmonary pathologies than chest radiography. This prospective observational study is to evaluate the effects of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy on atelectasis in the perioperative period by lung ultrasound (LUS) in bariatric surgery patients.

Materials and Methods: Following the Ethics Committee approval and written informe consents, 100 adult bariatric surgery patients are include in this observational study. The patients are randomly distributed into two groups ; High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation(HFNCO) made group(n:50); HFNCO not made group(n:50).

HFNCO is start at a flow rate of 20 L/min with 100% oxygen in the preoperative period. It is titrate up to 50 L/min and increase to 80 L/min under general anesthesia until tracheal intubation. Atelectasis evaluation with lung ultrasound is performe and score in 6 different areas before and after HFNCO.

Pulmonary function tests and blood gas parameters are compared.During the procedure, the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, any complications that may develop will be recorded.nduction of anesthesia; difficult airway management, difficult mask and / or difficult intubation incidence, Mallampati scores, the use of one of the difficult intubation techniques during intubation (such as FastTrack, videolaryngoscopy or fiberoptic intubation), perioperative mechanical ventilation parameters (ventilation mode, tidal volume, respiratory frequency, end of tidal CO2 (carbon dioxide) pressure, PEEP usage, SpO2 (saturation oxygen), airway peak pressure, urine volume, arterial blood gas parameters are recorded.Duration of operation, surgical method (laparotomy / laparoscopy), agents used in induction and postoperative analgesia, use of blood, blood product and vasopressor are recorded.

Being tested
High flow nasal cannula oxygen is applied, High flow nasal cannula oxygen is not applied

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of postoperative atelectasis in bariatric surgery patients

    Postoperative atelectasis develops in patients undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery under anesthesia.After the operation a researcher will perform lung ultrasonography postoperative at minute 5. reseracher will detect 6 region of each lung totally 12 regions. the researcher will record the modified and original lung ultrasonography scores (LUS score) of the patients. LUS Score is a scoring system to eveluate atelectasis of lung and scores 1-3 points for each region (min score 0 max score 36)

    Measured: Up to 20 minutes in postoperative care unit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High flow nasal cannula oxygen is applied and High flow nasal cannula oxygen is not applied in people with Postoperative Atelectasis and Bariatric Surgery Candidate, run by Kocaeli Derince Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Evaluation of postoperative atelectasis in bariatric surgery patients (time frame: Up to 20 minutes in postoperative care unit). 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 22 Jan 2025.
