Trial summary

Shoulder pain is common after laparoscopic surgeries. multiple maneuvers are in use to decrease its incidence with variable results. This study aims to investigate the effect of mild hyperventilation to an End-tidal CO2 level of 30-32 mmHg on the occurrence of postoperative shoulder pain. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Mild Hyperventilation as an Intervention to Decrease the Incidence of Postoperative Shoulder Pain After Gastric Sleeve Bypass Surgery

Shoulder pain is common after laparoscopic surgeries. multiple maneuvers are in use to decrease its incidence with variable results. This study aims to investigate the effect of mild hyperventilation to an End-tidal CO2 level of 30-32 mmHg on the occurrence of postoperative shoulder pain. This is carried out through a comparison of the incidence of postoperative shoulder pain an intervention group to that in a control one with a normal End Tidal CO2 35-40 mmHg). controlling for all other variables.

Read the detailed description

This novel technique is based on the theory that shoulder pain is caused by diaphragmatic irritation by CO2 during laparoscopic surgery. The investigators postulate that lowering the CO2 level in the plasma, will lower tissue CO2 level in the diaphragm and decrease the hypothesized irritation. In this study, patients will be divided into an interventional group which will receive mild intraoperative hyperventilation determined by an End-Tidal CO2 level of 30-32 mm Hg and a control group in which End Tidal CO2 is kept at normal levels (35-40 mmHg). All other intraoperative factors will be standardized for all patients. Patients will be followed up postoperatively and asked whether the participants developed shoulder pain as a primary study outcome. The pain will be recorded in terms of severity, site, and position, and any associations (Nausea and vomiting). Appropriate statistical tests will be used to check for any significant effects of the technique.

What participants receive

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

  • mild intraoperative hyperventilationOther

    Intraoperative mechanical ventilation of patients was adjusted so that end-tidal CO2 readings lie between 30-32 mmHg

Study groups in NCT04514887
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Mild HyperventilationExperimentalIn this study arm, patients were mildly hyperventilated intraoperatively so their end-tidal CO2 levels are brought down to 30-32 mmHg.
Receives: Other: mild intraoperative hyperventilation
ControlNo interventionIn this study arm patients' ventilation is managed according to guidelines with end-tidal CO2 levels kept in the normal range of 35-40 mm Hg

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative shoulder Pain

    patient complaining of left of right shoulder pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy will be evaluated using numerical rating scale, were zero indicates no pain at all, and 10 indicates most severe pain the patient has ever had.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    The development of nausea and vomiting among patients after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing mild intraoperative hyperventilation in people with Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve Surgery and ASA-I and II Risk Class Patients, run by Jordan University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Jordan.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 19 Aug 2020. 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 Jordan. 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?

Postoperative shoulder Pain (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04514887, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 19 Aug 2020.
