About this study

The ideal tidal volume (TV) during one-lung ventilation (OLV) remains controversial. High tidal volumes may increase the incidence of postoperative lung injury after thoracic surgery. The investigators thus evaluated the influence of low (5 ml/kg) and high (10 ml/kg) tidal volumes on arterial oxygenation and Intrapulmonary shunt during OLV.

One hundred patients scheduled for thoracic surgery were enrolled. During OLV, patients were randomly assigned to 30 minutes of ventilation with high TV (10 ml/kg with zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP)) at a rate of 10 breaths/minute or low tidal volume (5 ml/kg with 5 cm H2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)) at a rate of 20 breaths/minute. During the subsequent 30 minutes, each patient received the alternative management. Minute volume was thus kept constant during each experimental condition. Arterial blood partial pressures, hemodynamic responses, and ventilatory parameters were recorded. Results are presented as means ± SDs; P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

What participants receive

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

  • high tidal volumesOther

    One-lung ventilation was started at skin incision using a volume-controlled square-wave flow pattern. Patients were randomly assigned to 30 minutes of ventilation with a tidal volume of 10 ml/kg tidal volume without external PEEP and respiratory rate of 10 breaths/minute (n=50) or to a tidal volume of 5 ml/kg with 5 cmH2O PEEP and a respiratory rate of 20 breaths/minute (n=50). Minute volume was thus kept constant during each experimental condition.

    Randomization was based on computer-generated codes that were maintained in sequentially numbered sealed opaque envelopes until after induction of anesthesia. During the subsequent 30 minutes of one-lung ventilation, the alternative ventilatory management was used.

What is being measured

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

  1. low (5ml/kg) tidal volume on arterial oxygenation

    Evaluate the influence of low (5 ml/kg) and high (10 ml/kg) tidal volumes on arterial oxygenation and Intrapulmonary shunt during one lung ventilation.

    Measured: 30 minutes of ventillation

  2. high (10 ml/kg) tidal volumes on arterial oxygenation

    Evaluate the influence of low (5 ml/kg) and high (10 ml/kg) tidal volumes on arterial oxygenation and Intrapulmonary shunt during one lung ventilation.

    Measured: 30 minutes of ventillation

  3. low (5 ml/kg)tidal volumes on Intrapulmonary shunt

    Evaluate the influence of low (5 ml/kg) and high (10 ml/kg) tidal volumes on arterial oxygenation and Intrapulmonary shunt during one lung ventilation.

    Measured: 30 minutes of ventillation

  4. high (10 ml/kg) tidal volumes on Intrapulmonary shunt

    Evaluate the influence of low (5 ml/kg) and high (10 ml/kg) tidal volumes on arterial oxygenation and Intrapulmonary shunt during one lung ventilation.

    Measured: 30 minutes of ventillation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing high tidal volumes and low tidal volume in people with Postoperative Lung Injury, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in Hungary.

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 2 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 20 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 Hungary. 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?

low (5ml/kg) tidal volume on arterial oxygenation (time frame: 30 minutes of ventillation). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Jan 2012.
