About this study

Official title: Effects of Oxygen Supply on Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction and Lung Collapse After Lung Isolation in Thoracic Surgery - a Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare a liberal versus restrictive oxygen supply (fraction of inspired oxygen, FiO2) strategy in patients scheduled for thoracic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation during lung isolation. The primary and secondary outcome parameters are:

  • oxygenation of the blood after 30 minutes of one-lung ventilation, assessed by PaO2/FiO2 ratio
  • time to lung collapse after start of one-lung ventilation

Participants in the control goup will receive an oxygen content of 100% before lung isolation, which will be subsequently decreased to achieve normoxia or mild hyperoxia (PaO2 of 75-120 mmHg).

The intervention group will receive the previous, during two-lung ventilation set, oxygen content and after lung isolation oxygen supply will be increased to secure adequate oxygenation of the blood (PaO2 75-120 mmHg) during one-lung ventilation.

The investigators hypothesize, that a higher fraction of inspired oxygen may impede hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction of the collapsed lung and thus decrease overall oxygenation performance during one-lung ventilation. Secondary endpoint will be the time to lung collapse, as a lower fraction of inspired oxygen and thus a higher nitrogen content may impede lung collapse.

Read the detailed description

After anesthesia induction and securing the airway with a double lumen tracheal tube, the patient will be ventilated with pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and the following settings during two-lung ventilation (TLV): positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O, peak pressure set to achieve a tidal volume of 6-8 ml/kg, respiratory rate set to achieve normocapnia, I:E ratio set to 1:1.5, FiO2 adjusted to achieve normoxia. After changing to lateral position, the patient will be randomized to one of the following group:

  • Decremental FiO2 titration: FiO2 will be set to 1.0 five minutes before lung isolation and reduced consecutively during one-lung ventilation (OLV) according to paO2 measurement obtained from arterial blood gas samples to achieve normoxia (paO2 of 75-120 mmHg).
  • Incremental FiO2 titration: FiO2 will be maintained to secure normoxia during the entire surgery. This means, that the previous FiO2 setting during two-lung ventilation will be continued and after OLV initiation the FiO2 has to be adjusted, to secure normoxia assessed by continuous SpO2 measurement (SpO2 of 92-96 %) and paO2 measurement obtained from arterial blood gas samples (paO2 of 75-120 mmHg).

During OLV the applied tidal volume will be reduced to 4-6 ml/kg by an appropriate adjustment of peak pressure, otherwise the ventilator settings will not be changed. After 30 minutes of OLV the intervention period ends and because in both groups oxygenation will be adjusted to achieve a PaO2 of 75-120 mmHg during OLV, the routine anesthetic regime of both groups will not differ in the further course of thoracic surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • restrictive oxygen supplyDrug

    Oxygen supply will be limited to guarantee normoxia at the beginning of OLV.

  • liberal oxygen supplyDrug

    Oxygen supply will be maximized to 100% at the beginning of OLV

Study groups in NCT05946707
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
high oxygen: decremental FiO2 titrationActive comparatorFive minutes before lung isolation fraction of inspired oxygen will be increased to 1.0, representing the standard procedure for one-lung ventilation. 10, 20 and 30 minutes after OLV initiation paO2 obtained from arterial blood gas analysis will be measured and FiO2 titrated to achieve a paO2 of 75-120 mmHg.
Receives: Drug: liberal oxygen supply
low oxygen: incremental FiO2 titrationExperimentalBefore lung isolation fraction of inspired oxygen will be maintained as previously set to guarantee normoxia (SpO2 >92%). During OLV SpO2 will be continuously monitored and FiO2 adjusted to keep SpO2 >92%. Additionally after 10, 20 and 30 minutes after OLV initiation paO2 obtained from arterial blood gas analysis will be measured and FiO2 more precisely titrated to achieve a paO2 of 75-120 mmHg.
Receives: Drug: restrictive oxygen supply

What is being measured

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

  1. oxygenation of the blood

    Oxygenation of the blood will be assessed by the paO2/FiO2 ratio and compared between groups.

    Measured: Primary outcome timepoint is defined at 30 minutes after start of OLV

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. lung collapse

    Time to complete lung collapse will be recorded and compared between groups.

    Measured: Lung collapse will be assessed and recorded as no collapse, partial collapse or complete collapse at 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes after start of one-lung ventilation.

  2. postoperative pulmonary complication

    Occurence of postoperative pulmonary complications will be assessed postoperatively

    Measured: Follow-up will be completed after end of hospital stay or 30-days of hospital stay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing restrictive oxygen supply and liberal oxygen supply in people with Mechanical Ventilation and Thoracic Surgery, run by Medical University Innsbruck at 1 site in Austria.

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 4 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 12 Mar 2024. 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 Austria. 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?

oxygenation of the blood (time frame: Primary outcome timepoint is defined at 30 minutes after start of OLV). 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 12 Mar 2024.
