About this study

Diaphragmatic dysfunction (DD) is one of the main risk factors for post operative respiratory distress syndrome. Ultrasonography is a diagnosis tool for DD but few studies have been published. The aim of this prospective study is to compare the achievement of diaphragmatic function depending on the type of surgery (abdominal and head and neck surgery).

What participants receive

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

  • Diaphragmatic amplitude measurementProcedure or surgery

    Diaphragmatic amplitude is measured by M Mode ultrasonography the day before and after surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of diaphragmatic amplitude measured by M-Mode ultrasonography performed the day before and the day after surgery in 3 groups: laparoscopic abdominal surgery, abdominal surgery by laparotomy and head and neck surgery.

    Measured: two months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. All cause morbidity

    Measured: within the first 28 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diaphragmatic amplitude measurement in people with Diaphragmatic Dysfunction, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 9 Aug 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 France. 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?

Comparison of diaphragmatic amplitude measured by M-Mode ultrasonography performed the day before and the day after surgery in 3 groups: laparoscopic abdominal surgery, abdominal surgery by laparotomy and head and neck surgery. (time frame: two months). 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 9 Aug 2013.
