About this study

Official title: Prevention of Perioperative Pulmonary Complications by Lung Recruitment During Laparoscopic Surgery in Trendelenburg Head-down Position

Perioperative pulmonary complications such as atelectasis, hypoxemia, and pneumonia after ventilatory management during general anesthesia have a negative impact on patient outcomes. The possibility of reducing perioperative pulmonary complications by lung recruitment, which uses positive pressure to prevent alveolar collapse, has been reported. Although laparoscopic surgery, which has been widely performed in recent years, can reduce the invasiveness of the operation, it is prone to alveolar collapse due to increased abdominal pressure and diaphragm elevation. The purpose of this study is to verify whether the lung recruitment during laparoscopic surgery in Trendelenburg head-down position prevents hypoxemia due to lung collapse.

Read the detailed description

The multi-center RCT will enroll 80 patients who have laparoscopic surgery in Trendelenburg head-down position. Informed consent will be obtained for study subjects who meet the selection criteria, and the subjects will be enrolled in Electronic Data Capture and randomized into two groups. Patients will be admitted to the operating room for induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will be performed according to the initial settings and protocols. In the intervention group, after intubation, the ventilator will be initially set up, and the first pulmonary recruitment will be performed immediately after the start of the laparoscopy, followed by recruitment every 30 minutes until the end of the laparoscopy.

What participants receive

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

  • lung recruitmentProcedure or surgery

    Automatic lung recruitment using the anesthetic machines (with PEEP 15 cmH2O for 30 seconds) will be performed every 30 minutes during laparoscopy.

  • Standard ventilatory managementProcedure or surgery

    After tracheal intubation, standard ventilatory management (metered ventilation) should be performed with the following initial settings, and rescue should be performed when hypoxemia occurs, if necessary.

    [initial setting] PEEP 4cmH2O, FIO2 0.3 Ventilation rate: 6-8 ml/kg predicted body weight (PBW)

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of hypoxia

    SpO2 less than 95% or more than 2% decrease from baseline

    Measured: During laparoscopy procedure

  2. Time to onset of hypoxia

    Duration from the start of laparoscopic surgery to the onset of hypoxia

    Measured: During laparoscopy procedure

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Rate of decrease in SpO2

    Difference between baseline SpO2 and minimum SpO2 during laparoscopic surgery

    Measured: During laparoscopy procedure

  2. Ventilator setting at the end of surgery

    Ventilator settings such as FIO2, PEEP, and plateau pressure

    Measured: During surgery

  3. compliance rate of lung recruitment

    compliance rate of lung recruitment in the intevention group

    Measured: During laparoscopy procedure

  4. Safety endpoint: Circulatory agonist use

    Circulatory agonist use

    Measured: During surgery

  5. Safety endpoint: total fluid infusion

    total fluid infusion

    Measured: During surgery

  6. Safety endpoint: incidence of complications

    incidence of complications (hypotension, arrhythmia, pneumothorax, atelectasis defined by the blinded investigator)

    Measured: During surgery

  7. Postoperative hypoxia

    Presence of hypoxia the day after surgery

    Measured: the day after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lung recruitment and Standard ventilatory management in people with Perioperative Complication and Hypoxia, run by Osaka University at 1 site in Japan.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 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 Japan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yuji Fujino, MD., Ph.D. (+81-6-6879-5820, fujino@anes.med.osaka-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of hypoxia (time frame: During laparoscopy procedure). 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 30 Aug 2021.
