About this study

Official title: Effect of Continuous Mechanical Ventilation During Cardiopulmonary Bypass on The Lung Mechanics: A Prospective Evaluation

To demonstrate that using continuous mechanical lung ventilatory support in combination with Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)during open heart surgery will improve lung function and decrease lung complications after surgery.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, blinded study with a control group. The study group will receive mechanical ventilatory support during CBB, which consists of a preset/predetermined tidal volume, respiratory rate, positive pressure at the end of expiration and FIO2. The control group will receive CPB without additional mechanical ventilatory support during surgery, which at present is the standard of care.

The difference between the study and the control group will occur during the time the heart is arrested and the lungs, under present standard of care, are no longer ventilated. It is at this point in time that those in the study group will continue to receive ventilation, intermittent positive pressure ventilation, while their heart is arrested. The subjects will have their lungs ventilated six times per minute with a tidal volume equal to 7-10 milliliters per kilogram. This range, when combined with a consistent PEEP of 5cm of water pressure, will allow for the peak inspiratory pressure to be maintained at or below 40cm of water pressure. In addition, the FIO2 will remain consistent at the same level that was needed to maintain the pulse oximetry at 94% as well as the end-tidal CO2 at 35mmHg. The values mentioned for this study have been chosen based on not only investigator preference, but also on what is considered "minimally necessary" to prevent atelectasis. Multiple studies have been done utilizing PEEP at 5 and 10 cm of water pressure. With the exception of the potential for mechanical ventilation during the CBP, the care of the subject, regardless of the group randomized into, will be the same. We will in all other aspects continue to utilize the current standard of care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-surgical lung function, compliance, tissue oxygenation, and radiographic changes indicative of atelectasis.

    Determination if ventilation during surgery improves post-surgical lung function, compliance, tissue oxygenation, and radiographic changes indicative of atelectasis.

    Measured: During in-patient stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing continuous, mechanical ventilatory support in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure, run by Aurora BayCare Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 7 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 14 Dec 2018. 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 States. 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?

Post-surgical lung function, compliance, tissue oxygenation, and radiographic changes indicative of atelectasis. (time frame: During in-patient stay). 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 14 Dec 2018.
