About this study

Official title: Prospective Study of the Effects of Non-dependent Lung High Frequency Positive Pressure Ventilation on the Right Ventricular Function for Thoracotomy

The investigators hypothesized that the application of volume-controlled HFPPV to the non-dependent lung during one-lung ventilation (OLV) for thoracotomy in patients with good pulmonary functions and mild-to-moderate pulmonary dysfunction may provide preservation of the right ventricular (RV) function, adequate oxygenation and optimum surgical conditions.

The investigators evaluated the effects of IL-HFPPV on RV ejection fraction (REF), RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDVI), RV stroke work (RVSWI), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRI), and stroke volume (SVI) indices, oxygen delivery (DO2) and uptake (VO2), shunt fraction (Qs: Qt), and surgical field conditions during OLV for thoracotomy in patients with good and mild-to-moderate impaired pulmonary functions.

Read the detailed description

One-lung ventilation (OLV) provides an adequate operative field, but is opposed by the induced hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) in the non-ventilated lung. It may preserve overall oxygen delivery, however with deleterious increase in shunt fraction and pulmonary vascular resistance.1-2Right ventricular (RV) overload resulting from these increases in its afterload influences postoperative morbidity and mortality. Intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi) occurs frequently during OLV for thoracic surgery in the dependent lung of patients with pulmonary hyperinflation as opposed to patients with normal pulmonary function.3 The different approaches for the correction of hypoxemia during OLV may require some degree of recruitment of the non-dependent lung (IL), with different maneuvers such as the application of continuous positive pressure ventilation (CPAP) or high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) to the non-dependent lung. These recruitment strategies, although they may improve arterial saturation, may concurrently decrease cardiac output, therefore having contradictory effects on overall oxygen delivery.4-6 Gas trapping may occur with increased ventilatory frequency during HFJV. This may impair RVEF through the increases in RV afterload.7 Therefore, the use of high frequency positive pressure ventilation (HFPPV) using tidal volumes just greater than the dead space increases arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and the carbon dioxide excretion (VCO2) linearly with increasing peak airway pressure.8 We hypothesized that the application of volume-controlled HFPPV to the non-dependent lung during OLV for thoracotomy in patients with good pulmonary functions and mild-to-moderate pulmonary dysfunction may provide preservation of the RV function, adequate oxygenation and optimum surgical conditions.

We evaluated the effects of IL-HFPPV on RV ejection fraction (REF), RV end-diastolic volume (RVEDVI), RV stroke work (RVSWI), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRI), and stroke volume (SVI) indices, oxygen delivery (DO2) and uptake (VO2), shunt fraction (Qs: Qt), and surgical field conditions during OLV for thoracotomy in patients with good and mild-to-moderate impaired pulmonary functions.

What participants receive

  • conventional OLV followed with IL-HFPPVProcedure or surgery

    Also called KONTRON ABT 5300 ventilator, UK

    The patients' lungs were mechanically ventilated with intermittent positive pressure ventilation using fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of 0.5 in air, tidal volume (VT) of 8 mL/kg, inspiratory to expiratory [I: E] ratio of 1:2.5, zero positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), respiratory rate (R.R) was adjusted to achieve an arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) 35-45 mm Hg and peak inspiratory pressures were limited to 35 cm H2O. After pleurotomy, OLV was initiated with the same ventilatory settings for the dependent lung. After 30 min, the non-dependent collapsed lung was ventilated using HFPPV mode (IL-HFPPV) with another identical ventilator, with an internal circuit of low compliance, using FiO2 of 0.5 in air, VT 3 mL/kg, I: E ratio <0.3 and R.R 60 breaths/min.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary outcome variables included right ventricular function (REF, RVEDVI, and RVSWI).

    Measured: before (Baseline) and10 min after induction of anesthesia during two-lung ventilation, 15 and 30 min after OLV, 15, 30, 60 min after IL-HFPPV, and 15 min after resuming of two-lung ventilation (TLV

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary outcome variables were hemodynamic parameters (HR, MAP, CI, SVI, and PVRI), oxygenation parameters (DO2, VO2, and Qs:Qt) and surgical field conditions.

    Measured: before (Baseline) and10 min after induction of anesthesia during two-lung ventilation, 15 and 30 min after OLV, 15, 30, 60 min after IL-HFPPV, and 15 min after resuming of two-lung ventilation (TLV)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing conventional OLV followed with IL-HFPPV in people with Lung Diseases and Esophageal Diseases, run by King Faisal University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 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 28 May 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 Egypt. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Primary outcome variables included right ventricular function (REF, RVEDVI, and RVSWI). (time frame: before (Baseline) and10 min after induction of anesthesia during two-lung ventilation, 15 and 30 min after OLV, 15, 30, 60 min after IL-HFPPV, and 15 min after resuming of two-lung ventilation (TLV). 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 28 May 2010.
