Trial summary

One-lung ventilation; organ protection; volatile anesthetics One-lung ventilation has become a common procedure for thoracoscopic surgery. Two hypothesis will be tested in this study: 1. Are inflammatory mediators increased in the re-ventilated lung after short-period pulmonary collapse? 2. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Lung: One-lung Ventilation: Expression of Pulmonary Inflammatory Mediators After Deflation and Re-expansion of the Lung During Thoracic Surgery

One-lung ventilation; organ protection; volatile anesthetics

One-lung ventilation has become a common procedure for thoracoscopic surgery. Two hypothesis will be tested in this study:

  1. Are inflammatory mediators increased in the re-ventilated lung after short-period pulmonary collapse?
  2. Does Sevoflurane influence the production of inflammatory mediators in the re-inflated lung? Therefore, this study will elucidate the potential protective effect of a volatile anaesthetic (sevoflurane) on the production of inflammatory mediators by the respiratory compartment of the lung, i.e. the alveolar epithelium.
  • Trial with immunomodulatory product / biological
Being tested
Sevoflurane/propofol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sevoflurane/propofol in people with Thoracic Surgery With One-lung Ventilation, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 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 15 Sep 2010. 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 Switzerland. 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?

One-lung ventilation measurement in the re-ventilated lung after short-period pulmonary collapse (time frame: Sep 07). 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 15 Sep 2010.
