Trial summary

Postoperative pulmonary complications are serious threat to surgical patients, especially to high-risk geriatric patients. There is evidence that laryngeal mask airway is associated with postoperative pulmonary complications in comparison with tracheal intubation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Supraglottic Airway and Tracheal Intubation on Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Among High-risk Geriatric Patients

Postoperative pulmonary complications are serious threat to surgical patients, especially to high-risk geriatric patients. There is evidence that laryngeal mask airway is associated with postoperative pulmonary complications in comparison with tracheal intubation. However, conclusion may reverse among frail population such as high-risk geriatric patients. Geriatric patients are often associated with loose mask seal due to physiological changes, which may increase chances of aspiration and pose challenges to intraoperative airway maintenance. It was reported that laryngeal mask airway causes more atelectasis among children, but no report among high-risk elderly. The investigators therefore propose this study to verify the non-inferior effect of laryngeal mask airway compared to tracheal intubation on postoperative pulmonary complications among high-risk geriatric patients undergoing elective non-cardiothoracic surgeries.

What is being measured

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

  1. PPC

    The primary outcome is the incidence of a collapsed composite of postoperative pulmonary complications within 7 postoperative days, diagnosed according to Dr Wang's work published on Anesthesiology, 2022 (PMID: 35226725).

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. extrapulmonary complications

    extrapulmonary complications according to regular medical reports

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

  2. severity of PPC

    Clavien Dindo criteria

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

  3. diagnosis of PPC

    Postoperative pulmonary complications are defined by respiratory infection, respiratory failure, pleural effusion, atelectasis, pneumothorax, bronchospasm, and aspiration pneumonia (Diagnosed according to utcome is the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications within 7 postoperative days, diagnosed according to Anesthesiology, 2022 (PMID: 35226725).

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal tube in people with Pulmonary Complication, run by RenJi Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 30 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

PPC (time frame: 7 days after surgery). 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 30 Apr 2024.
