Trial summary

Aim of this study is verify if postoperative CPAP after laparoscopic prostatectomy may reduce the impact of postoperative respiratory failure, defined as occurrence of hypoxemia (PaO2<60 mmHg) and/or reduction of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) beyond 70% of basal value.

About this study

Aim of this study is verify if postoperative CPAP after laparoscopic prostatectomy may reduce the impact of postoperative respiratory failure, defined as occurrence of hypoxemia (PaO2<60 mmHg) and/or reduction of Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) beyond 70% of basal value.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is a wide used, well tolerated procedure. However, the general anesthesia, the need for pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position may have detrimental effects on both pulmonary volumes and mechanics, and they may increase the risk of postoperative respiratory failure (PORF). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) improves oxygenation and reduces the rate of re-intubation in the presence of PORF.

The aim of our study is to investigate postoperative respiratory function and the likely benefits of the use of CPAP, compared with Venturi mask in terms of prevention of post-operative hypoxaemia and worsening of lung spirometry.

CPAP is delivered with "CASTAR" Helmet by StarMed.

Being tested
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP), Venturi Mask FiO2 40%

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of postoperative respiratory failure (PaO2<60mmHg, FEV1<70% of baseline)

    Measured: 24 hours after the end of surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of pneumonia

    Measured: Partecipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure(CPAP) and Venturi Mask FiO2 40% in people with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure [E02.041.625.790.259] and Prostatectomy [E04.950.774.860.625], run by ASST Fatebenefratelli Sacco 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 2 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 11 Jul 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?

Incidence of postoperative respiratory failure (PaO2<60mmHg, FEV1<70% of baseline) (time frame: 24 hours after the end of surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01956422, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Jul 2014.
