About this study

The research consist of measuring respiratory variability of several variables of the respiratory pattern at rest and during exercise using a thoracic movement measuring technique. The objective is to confirm the ability of this technique to measure the respiratory variability in healthy subjects comparing to flow measurements by a pneumotachograph. In a second step, the thoracic movement technique is applied to measure respiratory variability before and after surgery in patients after abdominal surgery with laparotomy. The objective is to observe a decrease of variability in subjects developing or at risk to develop a postoperative pulmonary complication.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications after non-thoracic surgery varie between 2 and 19%. Postoperative Pulmonary Complications are associated with an increase of morbi-mortality and longer hospital stays. However, few possibilities are available to identify Postoperative Pulmonary Complications except predictions scores and SpO2, which decreases only face to a significant lung disease. Besides, the respiratory variability decreases during pulmonary stress situations, and is associated with an increase of mortality during mechanical ventilation. The hypothesis is that a decrease of the respiratory variability between the preoperative and the postoperative measures is associated with an increase of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications . However there is no mesuring tool of easy access in clinical practice. That is why, in a first step, a thoracic sensor belt will be tested on healthy subjects. This sensor belt is available to measure the respiratory variability.

Being tested
Respiratory variability before and after surgery

What participants receive

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

  • Respiratory variability before and after surgeryOther

    The procedure consist of measuring thoracic chest movement and then calculating the respiratory variability reflected by the coefficient of variation in patients undergoing a surgery. A first recording is done during preoxygenation period using as baseline for further comparisons. (T0, 10 min) The second recording is after extubation during the postoperative recovering period, 30 minutes after interruption of sedations. (T1, 20 min, SSPI ou SIPO) The third recording is before transferring back to classical hospitalization, 1h after T1 (20 min). A fourth recording will be realized 24h after surgery for patients hospitalized in the post operative intensive care unit (T3, 20 min) Optional recordings may be realized if the patient is developing a postoperative respiratory complication during his hospital stay. A follow up for maximum 7 days consisting in consulting the medical file will be realized.

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation of the Tidal volume (Vt) between the preoperative and the postoperative period

    Measure the respiratory variability in patients with abdominal surgery with laparotomy just before the anaesthetic induction and in the postoperative stage after extubation with a belt equipped with an external sensor.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Respiratory variability before and after surgery in people with Postoperative Pulmonary Complications, run by University Hospital Center of Martinique at 1 site in Martinique.

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 8 inclusion and 4 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 27 Jan 2021. 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 Martinique. 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?

Variation of the Tidal volume (Vt) between the preoperative and the postoperative period (time frame: 7 days). 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 27 Jan 2021.
