Trial summary

Laparoscopic surgeries may cause atelectasis on the lungs which may stay clinically occult after the surgery. Lung Ultrasound Scoring (LUS) can provide an objective measuring system to understand the condition of the lungs in the perioperative period. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effects of Pre-extubation Single Recruitment Maneuver on Lung Ultrasound Scores and Postoperative Oxygenation in Laparoscopic Nephrectomy Surgeries

Laparoscopic surgeries may cause atelectasis on the lungs which may stay clinically occult after the surgery. Lung Ultrasound Scoring (LUS) can provide an objective measuring system to understand the condition of the lungs in the perioperative period. In this randomized controlled study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of one single recruitment maneuver (RM) just before emergence and extubation (at the end of surgery) on LUS scores and postoperative recovery room oxygenation in laparoscopic nephrectomy surgeries. Accordingly, the intervention group will be applied single RM before extubation, while the control group will be awaken without RM.

There will be LUS evaluation at 4 different time for intervention group (Group RM) points that are:

T1: 5 min after the intubation T2: At the end of surgery (After skin closure, before recruitment maneuver) T3(RM): After recruitment maneuver, before extubation T4: 30 minutes after extubation in the recovery room

LUS evaluation will be made at 3 different time points in control group (Group NoRM):

T1: 5 min after the intubation T3(NoRM): Before extubation (no recruitment maneuvers will be made) T4: 30 minutes after extubation in the recovery room.

The primary outcome is the comparison of the T3 LUS scores. Assuming a 40% difference in the T3 LUS score, total number of 30 patients were calculated to be included in the study with an alpha value of 0.05 and 95% power. A possible drop-out of 5 patients per group, 20 patients were planned to be enrolled in each group.

Secondary outcomes will include; difference in T4 LUS scores, the effect of RM on postoperative recovery room oxygenation, and the effect of deltaLUS (T3-T2) on postoperative recovery room oxygenation.

What participants receive

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

  • Recruitment maneuverOther

    In Group RM (intervention group) after skin closure, mechanical ventilation settings will be set to FiO2:100%, I:E=1:1, respiratory rate: 6, and then tidal volume will be increased gradually by 150 ml until reaching a plato pressure of 30 mmHg. After 3 breaths in this state, RM will be considered accomplished. LUS evaluation will be made just before and after the RM.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the pre-extubation LUS scores (T3)

    Lung ultrasound will be applied in each group to observe the lungs' condition (atelectasis,consolidation...) and understand the effect of a "single" recruitment maneuver. To obtain LUS score; each lobe is examined on 6 different areas which will be scored from 0 to 3, and both lungs will be evaluated. Therefore maximum score may change from 0 (no atelectasis, best condition) to 36 (worst condition, broad atelectasis and consolidation).

    Measured: Up to 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Comparison of recovery room LUS scores (T4)

    Lung ultrasound will be applied at post-extubation 30th minute to evaluate the compare the groups for the possible effect of single RM. To obtain LUS score; each lobe is examined on 6 different areas which are scored from 0 to 3, and both lungs will be evaluated. Therefore maximum score may change from 0 (no atelectasis, best condition) to 36 (worst condition, broad atelectasis and consolidation).

    Measured: Up to 4.5 hours

  2. Comparison of recovery room PaO2

    Arterial blood gas will be analyzed at post-extubation 30th minute along with LUS to observe the effect of RM on oxygenation

    Measured: Up to 4.5 hours

  3. The effect of deltaLUS (T3-T2) on oxygenation

    DeltaLUS values will be analyzed for relation with post-extubation 30th min PaO2 values.

    Measured: Up to 4.5 hours

  4. Length of stay in post anesthesia care unit (PACU)

    The duration required for the patient to stay in PACU (minutes)

    Measured: Up to 4 hours

  5. Length of stay in hospital

    The duration required for patient to stay in hospital (days)

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks

  6. Postoperative respiratory complications

    Incidence of mild-to-severe respiratory failure, pneumothorax, ALI, ARDS, bronchospasm, pneumonia

    Measured: Up to 5 days

  7. Predictive value of dependant lung T3 (preextubation) LUS score detecting postoperative pulmonary complications

    Sensitivity and specifity (Area under the curve-ROC analysis) values of LUS score of dependant lung. (0=the best condition of the dependant lung, 18=the worst condition of the dependant lung with consolidation and atelectasis)

    Measured: Up to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Recruitment maneuver in people with Pulmonary Atelectasis, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 8 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 6 May 2023. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Comparison of the pre-extubation LUS scores (T3) (time frame: Up to 4 hours). 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 6 May 2023.
