Trial summary

Protective ventilation strategy has been widely applied in the field of thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. Low tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and intermittent recruitment maneuver are key components of protective ventilation… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Optimal Level of Positive End-expiratory Pressure to Reduce Postoperative Atelectasis After Lung Resection With Protective One-lung Ventilation

Protective ventilation strategy has been widely applied in the field of thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. Low tidal volume, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), and intermittent recruitment maneuver are key components of protective ventilation strategy. Recent evidence suggests that a tidal volume of 4-5 ml/kg should be applied during protective one-lung ventilation. However, optimal level of PEEP is still unclear. This study aims to investigate optimal level of PEEP to minimize postoperative atelectasis by comparing modified lung ultrasound score in patients applied protective one-lung ventilation using PEEP of 3, 6, or 9 cm of water during thoracic surgery.

Being tested
PEEP 3 cm of water, PEEP 6 cm of water, PEEP 9 cm of water

What is being measured

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

  1. Modified lung ultrasound score

    The score is calculated by adding up the 12 individual quadrant scores assessed using lung ultrasound.

    Measured: Postoperative 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Intraoperative desaturation

    Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry <95% during one-lung ventilation

    Measured: Average time of 60-90 minutes

  2. Intraoperative partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio

    partial pressure of arterial oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen ratio during one-lung ventilation

    Measured: Average time of 60-90 minutes

  3. Postoperative desaturation

    Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry <95%

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

  4. plasma Tumor Necrosis Factor-α

    proinflammatory cytokine

    Measured: 10 minutes after initiation of one-lung ventilation

  5. plasma Interleukin-6

    proinflammatory cytokine

    Measured: 10 minutes after initiation of one-lung ventilation

  6. plasma Interleukin-10

    anti-inflammatory cytokine

    Measured: 10 minutes after initiation of one-lung ventilation

  7. Postoperative pulmonary complication

    Composite outcome of atelectasis, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or pulmonary aspiration

    Measured: Postoperative 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEP 3 cm of water, PEEP 6 cm of water and PEEP 9 cm of water in people with Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery and Postoperative Atelectasis, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 18 Apr 2022. 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 South Korea. 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?

Modified lung ultrasound score (time frame: Postoperative 1 hour). 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 18 Apr 2022.
