About this study

Official title: Comparison of Protector Laryngeal Mask With Endotracheal Tube: Evaluation of Respiratory Mechanical Parameters During Controlled Ventilation & Possibility of Pulmonary Aspiration

The aim of this prospective, randomized, comparative, controlled clinical study is to compare laryngeal mask airway ProtectorTM with the endotracheal tube, regarding to the respiratory mechanical parameters during controlled mechanical ventilation and the prevalence of aspiration. Aspiration will be evaluated by detecting and quantifying pepsin (a marker of gastric aspiration) and α-amylase (a marker of salivary aspiration) in the bronchoalveolar lavage ( mini BAL) of patients ≥18 years old, ASA 1-2, undergoing selective low-risk surgery under general anesthesia in a lithotomy position.

Being tested
LMA Protector, Endotracheal tube

What participants receive

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

  • LMA ProtectorDevice

    LMA Protector will be inserted by a researcher after standard anesthesia induction. The view of the larynx will be assessed using fiberoptic grading scale.Mini bronchoalveolar lavage will be collected before the end of the procedure

  • Endotracheal tubeDevice

    tracheal intubation will be perform after standard anaesthetic induction. Cormack Lehane will be recorded. Mini bronchoalveolar lavage will be collected before the end of the procedure

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in PIP cmH20 (Peak inspiratory pressure ) between the two groups of patients.

    Measured by Ventilator

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. Assessment of aspiration risk by quantitative measurements of pepsin (ng/ml) and α-amylase (IU/ml) in BAL of patients and differences in its incidence between the two groups.

    Measured by ELISA method

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Differences in lung mechanics between the two patient groups

    Pplat cmH20( plataeu pressure) Dynamic Compliance ml/cmH20 , MAP cmH20( Mean Airway pressure ), PEEP cmH20,( positive end-expiratory pressure VTins, VTexp ( t, Raw cmH20/ml/sec( resistance of airway), ΔP cmH20(Driving Pressure, inspired (VTinsp) and expired (VTexp) tidal volumes, VTins - VTexp.

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing LMA Protector and Endotracheal tube in people with Mechanical Ventilation, run by University Hospital of Patras at 1 site in Greece.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 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 Greece. 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 Stella Antoniou, MD (+306994255120, stella_A@windowslive.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Difference in PIP cmH20 (Peak inspiratory pressure ) between the two groups of patients. (time frame: Intraoperative). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Jun 2024.
