Trial summary

The aim of this study was to compare the oxygenation index (OI), dyspnea, and pain scale and evaluate the duration of thoracic drainage and pleural air leaks after lung resection in two groups of patients: chest physiotherapy (CP) patients and combined CP and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) patients.

About this study

Official title: APPLICATION OF CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE IN POSTOPERATIVE OF LUNG RESECTION

The aim of this study was to compare the oxygenation index (OI), dyspnea, and pain scale and evaluate the duration of thoracic drainage and pleural air leaks after lung resection in two groups of patients: chest physiotherapy (CP) patients and combined CP and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) patients.

Read the detailed description

In pulmonary resection surgery complications that lead to significant functional losses of the lung parenchyma and alterations in the ventilatory function may trigger retention of secretions, atelectasis, pneumonia and respiratory failure, which prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation and hospitalisation and contribute to the increase in risk of mortality.

In this study the oxygenation index (OI), Borg Scale, pain scale and the presence and duration of thoracic drainage was determined in the immediate postoperative (POi) period and in the first and second postoperative (PO1, PO2) days in 40 patients who underwent elective lung resection.

Similar to Chest Physiotherapy, the preventive application of CPAP in the postoperative period after lung resection in our study also appeared to be a safe technique, which allowed improved oxygenation without increasing air leaks through the thoracic drains.

  • CpapProcedure or surgery

    Also called Noninvasive ventilation, lung resection

    This study did not involved drugs. The Oxygenation index, Borg Scale, pain scale and the presence and duration of thoracic drainage was determined in the immediate postoperative (POi) period and in the first and second postoperative (PO1, PO2) days in 40 patients who underwent elective lung resection,in two groups of intervention: chest physiotherapy, and associate this with cpap

Study groups in NCT01285648
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CpapOtherThis group joined chest physiotherapy with CPAP via nasal masks for two hours.CPAP was continued from the immediate postoperative day until the second postoperative day, twice a day.
Receives: Procedure: Cpap
Chest PhysiotherapyOtherChest Physiotherapy consisted of bronchial hygiene techniques and pulmonary expansion, in addition to exercises, and received oxygen supplementation to maintain the pulse oxymetry saturations > 90%.
Receives: Procedure: Cpap

What is being measured

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

  1. Bubbling drains

    From the immediate postoperative day until hospital discharge, the presence of chest tubes and the occurrence of air leaks in them as evidenced by the bubbling of the water seal were recorded. The maintenance and removal of drains or their use with wall suction were determined by applying the medical protocol of the institution through the analysis of X-rays and the amount of drained fluid.

    Measured: From immediate postoperative until fifth, along the study, in a total of one year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pain score

    Before beginning the chest physiotherapy protocols, the patient was asked to rate their pain from zero to ten according to its intensity (the larger the score, the greater the intensity of pain).

    Measured: Reported pain score after lung resection, along the study, during one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cpap in people with Lung Cancer and Pulmonary Complications, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 1 site in Brazil.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 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 Brazil. 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?

Bubbling drains (time frame: From immediate postoperative until fifth, along the study, in a total of one year). 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 NCT01285648, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jan 2011.
