About this study

Official title: Clearance Rate of Peritoneal Fluid Assessed by Post-operative Ultrasound Decreases After Full Conditioning Pneumoperitoneum

Measurement of residual peritoneal fluid after laparoscopic surgery

Read the detailed description

Primary endpoints

  • to evaluate whether the clearance rate of peritoneal fluid is exponential or linear over time. (absorption rate expected for Adept ~30-60 ml/h)
  • to evaluate the role of the mesothelial barrier in this clearance rate.

Knowing that diffusion to and from peritoneal fluid decreases with increasing molecular weight (MW), our hypothesis is that clearance rate will decrease following peritoneal conditioning. Indeed a decreased mesothelial trauma (either through hypoxia or through denudation) and retraction will expose less the basal membrane

Secondary endpoints:

-To confirm the decrease in post-operative pain as measured by VAS-score and inflammation as measured by CRP and leucocytosis with the full conditioning of the pneumoperitoneum.

Being tested
Carbon dioxide, full conditioning, Adept, Ringer Lactate
Keywords
women, laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Carbon dioxideProcedure or surgery

    standard pneumoperitoneum with 100% CO2

  • full conditioningProcedure or surgery

    Pneumoperitoneum with CO2 + 4% of oxygen + 10% nitrous oxide + 100% RH + T° 32°C

  • AdeptDrug

    instillation of 1 liter of fluid at the end of laparoscopy

  • Ringer LactateDrug

    instillation of 1 liter of fluid at the end of laparoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. clearance rate of peritoneal fluid

    We will estimate the residual volume of fluid in the abdominal cavity in a 30° anti-Trendelenburg position after 1 minute in this position. Measurements will be repeated daily until discharge.

    Measured: 3 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pain and inflammation score

    Postoperative pain will be assessed by the intake of ibuprofen or other pain killers and by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Patients will be asked to locate their pain-symptoms (shoulder, subcostal, trocar wound and visceral pain) and score the severity. VAS will be collected 2-4 hours after surgery and every post-operative day until discharge.

    Daily routine blood samples will be obtained and CRP will be measured. Routinely time of first flatus or stools will be recorded

    Measured: 3 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carbon dioxide, full conditioning and Adept in people with Laparoscopic Hysterectomy, run by University Hospital, Gasthuisberg at 1 site in Belgium.

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 5 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 2013. 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 Belgium. 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?

clearance rate of peritoneal fluid (time frame: 3 days after surgery). 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 2013.
