Trial summary

Atelectasis involving declive areas often occurs during general anesthesia and may persist postoperatively. This phenomenon could be amplified by pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Re-expansion of Atelectasis During Laparoscopic Surgery. Recruitment Maneuver vs Positive End-expiratory Pressure: a Randomized Study

Atelectasis involving declive areas often occurs during general anesthesia and may persist postoperatively. This phenomenon could be amplified by pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position. Hypothesis: To evaluate whether the shape of the airway pressure-time curve, Stress Index (SI), during constant flow inflation can lead ventilator setting during general anesthesia.

Conditions

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing First arm: patients ventilated with zero end expiratory pressure, Patients ventilated with Positive End Expiratory Pressure and Patients ventilated with Positive End Expiratory Pressure plus Recruitment maneuver in people with Pneumonia, run by Maria Vittoria Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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 2014. 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 Italy. 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?

Pulmonary Stress Index (time frame: Continuous evaluation during time of surgery. Partecipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 weeks). 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 2014.
