About this study

Official title: Utility of Lung Ultrasonography As a Predictor of Fast Track Extubation in Pediatric Cardiac Surgeries an Observational Study

Fast-tracking in cardiac surgery refers to early extubation to reduce costs and perioperative morbidity. The use of lung ultrasound is recently accepted as a tool in the assessment of several lung conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the use of lung ultrasound score as a quantitative method to assist in the decision of early extubation.

background: Fast-tracking in cardiac surgery refers to early extubation to reduce costs and perioperative morbidity. The use of lung ultrasound is recently accepted as a tool in the assessment of several lung conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the use of lung ultrasound score as a quantitative method to assist in the decision of early extubation.

Methedology: in this prospective, observational study, 45 pediatric patients who will go elective repair of congenital acyanotic heart diseases were included and were examined with Lung ultrasound together with arterial blood gases preoperative and postoperative and given a score range from 0-3 according to number of B lines in each region and sensitivity of post-operative lung ultrasound score to extubation within 6 hours was examined Demographic data: Patients' name, age, sex, diagnosis, relevant medical and surgical history. And Assessment data: Baseline arterial blood gases and lung ultrasound score assessment after induction of anesthesia and at the end of surgery.

Primary outcome will be the sensitivity of lung ultrasound scores immediately at the end of pediatric cardiac operation in prediction of extubation. and Secondary outcome will be correlation between lung ultrasound score and Po2/Fio2 ratio at the end of operation

Being tested
Lung ultrasound examination

  • Lung ultrasound examinationDiagnostic test

    Also called The lung ultrasound score

    45 pediatric patients who will go elective repair of congenital acyanotic heart diseases will be included and will be examined with Lung ultrasound together with arterial blood gases preoperative and postoperative and given a score range from 0-3 according to number of B lines in each region and sensitivity of post-operative lung ultrasound score to extubation within 6 hours was examined.

What is being measured

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

  1. the sensitivity of lung ultrasound scores

    the sensitivity of lung ultrasound scores immediately at the end of pediatric cardiac operation in prediction of extubation

    Measured: immediately at the end of pediatric cardiac operation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. correlation between lung ultrasound score and Po2/Fio2 ratio

    correlation between lung ultrasound score and Po2/Fio2 ratio at the end of operation

    Measured: immediatly at the end of pediatric cardiac operation until 6 hours post operative until extubatiioon

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Exta Vascular Lung Water, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 17 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. 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?

the sensitivity of lung ultrasound scores (time frame: immediately at the end of pediatric cardiac operation). 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 17 Jan 2025.
