About this study

Official title: Influence of Posture, Anesthesia and Surgical Technique on Airway Resistance of the Upper and Lower Airway and Lung Function.

Perioperative airway resistance and lung function are evaluated perioperatively in patients, who undergo surgical procedures in different postures and with or without gas insufflation into the peritoneal cavity.

Read the detailed description

Lung function, upper and lower airway resistance measurements are performed in patients in prone horizontal or head tilted down (40°) position. Half of the patients with head down position will have surgery in laparoscopic technique (including gas insufflation to achieve a pneumoperitoneum). Measurements are performed on the day prior to surgery, on the morning of surgery, 30 - 45 minutes, 2 hours, and 24 hours after extubation.

  1. Changes in nasal airway resistance

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumoperitoneum, run by Kliniken Essen-Mitte at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 28 Jun 2011. 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 Germany. 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 Harald Groeben, Prof. Dr. (##49201174 ext. 31109, h.groeben@kliniken-essen-mitte.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second) and the MEF50/MIF50 ratio (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00948571, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 28 Jun 2011.
