About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Guided Recruitment Manauvere Versus Individualized Positive End Expiratory Pressure in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Abdominal Surgery; A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study.

The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study is to compare the effect of US-guided Recruitment Manauvere (RM) versus individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on oxygenation and preventing respiratory complications in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgeries.

Read the detailed description

Atelectasis is among the most frequent postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) of general anesthesia with an incidence of between 68% and 100% in children. Atelectasis impairs gas exchange, thus causing hypoxemia and other respiratory disorders such as acute lung injury and pneumonia.

Pneumoperitoneum is another risk factor for perioperative atelectasis. It elevates the diaphragm and intra-abdominal pressure. In order to prevent atelectasis, applying positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) or an alveolar recruitment Maneuvere (RM) have shown beneficial effects.

Lung ultrasound (US) is a noninvasive, radiation-free, convenient, and reproducible bedside imaging modality for anesthesia-induced atelectasis in children.

Being tested
Fixed PEEP, Ultrasound-guided lung recruitment, Individualized PEEP

What participants receive

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

  • Fixed PEEPOther

    Patients will receive a fixed positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O throughout the surgical procedure.

  • Ultrasound-guided lung recruitmentOther

    Patients will receive ultrasound-guided lung before pneumoperitoneum, after pneumoperitoneum then once an hour, until the end of surgery. Alveolar recruitment will be conducted the same as that for the conventional manoeuvre with a simultaneous continuous ultrasound assessment if atalectasis is detected until no collapsed areas are visualized. When the collapsed lung areas are absent on the sonogram, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can no longer increase at this point. Subsequently, the pressure will be maintained for approximately 10 breaths.

  • Individualized PEEPOther

    Patients will receive individualized positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). After the first recruitment Maneuvere (RM), titration of PEEP will be performed by setting the initial PEEP to 5 cm H2O, then increasing PEEP according to the gradient of 2 cmH2O every 3 min, calculating static compliance (Cstat) according to the formula: [Cstat = VT/Pplat - PEEP] (Pplat = plateau pressure), then gradually increasing PEEP, until the calculated Cstat shows a downward trend, the we set its previous PEEP (corresponding to PEEP for high Cstat) as the optimal PEEP for this patient. The highest PEEP is limited to 15 cmH2O.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative oxygenation

    Intraoperative oxygenation which will be assessed by P/F ratio (the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in mmHg) to fractional inspired oxygen P/F ratio will be assessed before induction of anesthesia, one hour after pneumoperitoneum, and after second recruitment Maneuvere (RM)

    Measured: One hour after second recruitment Maneuvere

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Lung ultrasound scores

    Lung ultrasound scores to assess anesthesia-induced atelectasis and will be performed immediately after intubation, one hour after pneumoperitoneum, one hour after extubation, and 24 hours after extubation

    Measured: 24 hours after extubation

  2. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)

    Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) will be assessed before induction of anesthesia, immediately after intubation, after first recruitment Maneuvere (RM), one hour after pneumoperitoneum, after second recruitment Maneuvere (RM), and one hour after extubation.

    Measured: One hour after extubation

  3. Heart rate

    Heart rate (HR) will be assessed before induction of anesthesia, immediately after intubation, after first recruitment Maneuvere (RM), one hour after pneumoperitoneum, after second recruitment Maneuvere (RM), and one hour after extubation.

    Measured: One hour after extubation

  4. Postoperative pulmonary complication

    Early postoperative pulmonary complication in the first 24 hours postoperative.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fixed PEEP, Ultrasound-guided lung recruitment and Individualized PEEP in people with Ultrasound Guided Recruitment Manauvere and End Expiratory Pressure, run by Tanta University at 1 site 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Reham M Rezk, MBBCH (00201013193723, rehamrezk95@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intraoperative oxygenation (time frame: One hour after second recruitment Maneuvere). 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 13 Mar 2024.
