About this study

Official title: Hypercapnia During Thoracoscopy or Open Surgery for Repair of Oesophageal Atresia With Tracheo-oesophageal Fistula or Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia in Neonates: Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

This is a pilot randomised controlled trial comparing open versus thoracoscopic surgery for repair of oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula or congenital diaphragmatic hernia in neonates. Thoracoscopic surgery involves insufflation of carbon dioxide into the thoracic cavity and may therefore cause hypercapnia and acidosis.

Being tested
Hypercapnia during thoracoscopy, Open surgery
Keywords
Thoracoscopy, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, oesophageal atresia, hypercapnia, acidosis, cerebral oxygenation, neonates
Medical subject headings
Esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula, Hernias, Diaphragmatic, Congenital, Esophageal Atresia, Hypercapnia, Acidosis

What participants receive

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

  • Hypercapnia during thoracoscopyProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial blood carbon dioxide measurement

    Arterial blood carbon dioxide will be measured during operation as standard of practice by obtaining the blood samples

    Measured: Intra-operative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. oxygenation of the brain

    oxygenation of the brain will be measured by a non-invasive technique, near infra-red spectroscopy

    Measured: Intra-operative and 24 hours post-operatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypercapnia during thoracoscopy and Open surgery in people with Esophageal Atresia With Tracheo-esophageal Fistula and Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, run by Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 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 2 Mar 2022. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Arterial blood carbon dioxide measurement (time frame: Intra-operative). 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 NCT01467245, which also lists 4 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 2 Mar 2022.
