Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the double-lumen endotracheal tube or the standard single-lumen tracheal tube, with an Arndt® blocker, is superior in providing one lung ventilation during thoracic surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: One-Lung Ventilation in Morbidly Obese Patients:

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the double-lumen endotracheal tube or the standard single-lumen tracheal tube, with an Arndt® blocker, is superior in providing one lung ventilation during thoracic surgery.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the study is to compare a double lumen tube versus the standard single-lumen tracheal tube, with an Arndt® blocker, in the morbidly obese patient who requires one-lung ventilation during surgery. The objects is to determine which device is best for intubation and is most effective in terms of optimal positioning of the device, of lung collapse, and quality of lung isolation.

Study groups in NCT00813176
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Double Lumen Endotracheal TubeActive comparatorWe used a device called a double lumen tube ( DLT Broncho-Cath®). It is a bifurcated endotracheal tube designed to independently collapse the operated lung.
Receives: Device: Double Lumen Endotracheal Tube
Arndt Bronchial BlockerActive comparatorWe used a device called a bronchial blocker (9 Fr Arndt® blocker) along with a standard single-lumen tracheal tube (8.0-9.0 mm ID). The Arndt bronchial blocker is a single device, with a distal balloon that is passed thru the single lumen endotracheal once the patient is intubated. The Arndt bronchial blocker is designed to collapse the operated lung.
Receives: Device: Arndt Bronchial Blocker

What is being measured

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

  1. Time Taken for Endotracheal Tube Placement Procedure.

    For each group, the time in minutes required for the anesthesiologist to successfully place the endotracheal tube.

    Intubation time was recorded as the time from when the tracheal tube passed the vocal cords until the anesthetist concluded that the DLT (Arm 1) or the single-lumen tube with the Arndt blocker (Arm 2) was correctly placed and optimal position was confirmed with the fiberoptic bronchoscope.

    Measured: This measurement occurred after the patient was in the operating room and the randomization group was determined. This measurement began and ended during the intubation procedure.

  2. Number of Participants in Which the Tube Was Successfully Positioned at First Attempt

    Number of participants in each group in which the tube was successfully positioned at first attempt

    Measured: This data measure was occurred during surgery.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Effectiveness of Lung Collapse

    For each group, the number of participants in which lung collapse was evaluated as: (i) good-complete collapse without surgical interference, (ii) fair-total collapse, but with residual air, and (iii) poor-no or partial collapse, lung inflated and interfering with the surgical exposure.

    Measured: This measure occured during surgery just after intubation.

  2. Time Required to Collapse the Lung

    For each group, the mean time for lung isolation/collapse was measured from the institution of one-lung ventilation to the time of total lung collapse.

    Measured: This measurement occurred during surgery.

  3. Number of Participants With Successful Reinflation

    In each group, the number of Participants in which successful lung reinflation occurred.

    Measured: This occurred during surgery.

  4. Mean Intraoperative Oxygenation During One-lung Ventilation

    For each group, the mean intraoperative oxygenation (arterial partial pressure of oxygen measured by arterial blood gases) were taken during two-lung ventilation (baseline) and after 30 min of one-lung ventilation.

    Measured: This measure occured during surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Double Lumen Endotracheal Tube and Arndt Bronchial Blocker in people with Obesity, run by Javier H Campos 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 3 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 4 Jun 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jun 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time Taken for Endotracheal Tube Placement Procedure. (time frame: This measurement occurred after the patient was in the operating room and the randomization group was determined. This measurement began and ended during the intubation procedure.). 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 4 Jun 2018.
