About this study

Collect exhaled breath condensates from patients scheduled for a routine surgical procedure before, during, and after surgery for measurements of IsoFs

Draw blood from patients scheduled for a routine surgical procedure before, during, and after surgery for measurements of serum thrombomodulin.

Read the detailed description

High concentrations of oxygen are routinely administered to patients undergoing routine surgical procedures even though it is highly likely, at least in patients with normal lung function, that this is unnecessary and in fact may be doing unnecessary harm. Therefore, we plan to assess whether there is any evidence of lung injury during surgery resulted from administration of high concentrations of oxygen by measuring Isofurans (IsoFs) in exhaled breath condensate. In our studies in mice that were exposed to high concentrations of oxygen we also found that circulating levels of thrombomodulin were increased. Thrombomodulin is present in endothelial cells and upon injury they release thrombomodulin into the circulation. Endothelial cell injury is known to occur in hyperoxic-induced lung injury. Therefore, in addition to measuring IsoFs in exhaled breath condensate we will also measure plasma concentrations of thrombomodulin as an indicator of endothelial injury.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Injury, Acute, run by Vanderbilt University at 1 site in United States.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2017. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: poor enrollment). 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.

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 20 Apr 2017.
