Trial summary

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is essential during mediastinal mass excision. However, OLV induces a drastic increase of intrapulmonary shunt due to maintained pulmonary perfusion through the nonventilated lung. Read more about this study

About this study

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is essential during mediastinal mass excision. However, OLV induces a drastic increase of intrapulmonary shunt due to maintained pulmonary perfusion through the nonventilated lung. In addition, it is reported that supine positioning of patient during OLV, which is required during mediastinal mass excision, results in worse oxygenation than lateral decubitus positioning.

Iloprost is a prostaglandin analogue and when inhaled during OLV, it acts selectively on the pulmonary vasculature, reducing pulmonary vascular resistance of well-ventilated lung and thereby alleviating ventilation-perfusion mismatch. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled iloprost on oxygenation during one-lung ventilation in patients undergoing mediastinal mass excision.

Being tested
5ml of inhaled normal saline, 20μg (2ml) of inhaled iloprost (Ventavis®) and 3ml of inhaled normal saline

What participants receive

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

  • 5ml of inhaled normal salineDrug

    After the initiation of OLV, 5ml of normal saline is inhaled for 20 minutes using ultrasonic nebulizer, which is connected to the inspiratory limb of the ventilator system. Arterial blood gas analysis is performed 20 minutes after the completion of drug inhalation.

  • 20μg (2ml) of inhaled iloprost (Ventavis®) and 3ml of inhaled normal salineDrug

    After the initiation of OLV, mixture of iloprost 2ml and normal saline 3ml is inhaled for 20 minutes using ultrasonic nebulizer, which is connected to the inspiratory limb of the ventilator system. Arterial blood gas analysis is performed 20 minutes after the completion of drug inhalation.

What is being measured

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

  1. PaO2 (partial pressure of arterial oxygen) to FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) ratio (P/F ratio)

    The P/F ratio is a widely-used objective tool to identify hypoxemic respiratory failure when supplemental oxygen has been administered. It can be used to evaluate the effect of iloprost on oxygenation during OLV.

    Measured: Twenty minutes after the completion of drug inhalation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 5ml of inhaled normal saline and 20μg (2ml) of inhaled iloprost (Ventavis®) and 3ml of inhaled normal saline in people with Mediastinal Mass, run by Yonsei University 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 3 inclusion and 12 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 15 Jun 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Kyuho Lee (82-2-2224-1636, theoneimlee@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PaO2 (partial pressure of arterial oxygen) to FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) ratio (P/F ratio) (time frame: Twenty minutes after the completion of drug inhalation). 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 15 Jun 2021.
