Trial summary

HYPOTHESIS: During anesthetic pre-oxygenation with high FiO2, pulmonary atelectasis occur, especially in patients < 6 years old, where FRC and pulmonary closing volume may overlap. New borns and children <1 year old are especially vulnerable. OBJECTIVES: 1. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Accuracy of Pediatric Air Test as a Non-invasive Atelectasis Diagnostic Tool: a Multi-centre Prospective Double-blind Study

HYPOTHESIS:

During anesthetic pre-oxygenation with high FiO2, pulmonary atelectasis occur, especially in patients < 6 years old, where FRC and pulmonary closing volume may overlap. New borns and children <1 year old are especially vulnerable.

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Validate "air test" as a individualized and non-invasive diagnostic method of clinically significant atelectasis in pediatrics.
  2. Determine what other factors contribute to atelectasis development in pediatrics

METHODS:

30 pediatric patients will be studied with ages ranged between 45 postconceptional weeks and16 years old.

Baseline SpO2 and lung ultrasound will be performed for each patient upon arrival at the operating theatre before preoxygenation with FiO2 of 1.0 SpO2 will be measured 15 min after intubation during a 5 min long "air test" trial (FiO2 0.25). lung collapse will be verified by lung ultrasound at the end of the 15 min trial. Lung collapse will be eventually granted upon lung US verification by a blind researcher.

What participants receive

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

  • Air testDiagnostic test

    Patients will breathe 0.21 < FiO2 < 0.25 during 5 min and have a lung ultrasound perfomed at the end of the 5 min trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Atelectasis incidence

    Assess incidence of SpO2 < 97% 15 minutes after anesthesia induction during a 5 minutes long air test (FiO2 < 0.25).

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Accuracy of Pediatric Air test trial

    Assess incidence of lung collapse (hence atelectasis incidence) 15 minutes after anesthesia induction using an air test (FiO2 < 0.25). Collapse blind validation using lung US

    Measured: 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Atelectasis risk factors assessment

    Determine if there occurs higher atelectasis incidence depending on age, sex, medical records, body weight index or type of surgery

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Atelectasis severity

    Determine if there is any correlation between SpO2 values during air test and lung collapse, graded upon a validated severity lung collapse image score

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Air test in people with Lung Collapse and Lung Diseases, run by Hospital Universitario La Paz at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 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 14 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Spain, Argentina. 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?

Atelectasis incidence (time frame: 5 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Aug 2023.
