Trial summary

There is no general agreement about the ideal gas for pneumoperitoneum. CO2, now in common use, has not compared to N2O sufficiently to disclose which one has minimal "physiological" invasiveness characters. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Nitrous Oxide and Carbon Dioxide for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

There is no general agreement about the ideal gas for pneumoperitoneum. CO2, now in common use, has not compared to N2O sufficiently to disclose which one has minimal "physiological" invasiveness characters. Assigned randomly to carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide group, the hemodynamic and respiratory parameters (heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, end-tidal CO2, minute ventilation, and O2 saturation) before pneumoperitoneum and during it were recorded. Pain, as perceived by patients, is measured 2, 4 and 24 hours after the procedure by visual analogue scale. Vomiting and use of analgesics and antiemetics were recorded and compared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nitrous oxide use for pneumoperitoneum creation in people with Pneumoperitoneum, run by Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 19 Jan 2012. 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 Iran. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

heart rate (time frame: At the start of laparoscopic surgery and Immediately 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 19 Jan 2012.
