Trial summary

Liberal fluid administration is one of risk factors of developing acute lung injury (ALI) in thoracic surgery. Therefore, the investigators try to restrain fluid administration, and in the case of intraoperative hypotension, the investigators often administer vasoactive agents or inotropes.

About this study

Official title: Effect of Phenylephrine or Dopamine Infusion on Cerebral Oxygen Saturation in Thoracic Surgery Patients

Liberal fluid administration is one of risk factors of developing acute lung injury (ALI) in thoracic surgery. Therefore, the investigators try to restrain fluid administration, and in the case of intraoperative hypotension, the investigators often administer vasoactive agents or inotropes. One lung ventilation (OLV) which is routinely employed for thoracic surgery decrease arterial oxygenation and oxygen delivery to brain can be also decreased. In this study, the investigators compared dopamine and phenylephrine in respect to maintaining cerebral oxygen saturation in major thoracic surgery. The investigators hypothesis is that dopamine is better than phenylephrine to maintain cerebral oxygen saturation in thoracic surgery.

Read the detailed description

A 'restrictive' intraoperative fluid regimen, avoiding hypovolaemia but limiting infusion to the minimum necessary reduced major complications after complex surgery. This restrictive fluid regimen is especially relevant in thoracic surgery since acute lung injury is known to be related to large amount of fluid administration during operation to treat hypotension. One study suggests that, for every 500-mL increase in perioperative fluids, there is an odds ratio of 1.17 for developing ALI after lung resection. Slinger suggested that fluid should be restricted just to the point of maintaining urine output of 0.5 mL/kg/h, and vasopressors may be used if tissue perfusion is inadequate. Therefore, restriction of fluid administration and treatment of hypotension which is not caused by major hemorrhage with vasoactive agents could be a basic concept in thoracic anesthesia.

Patients who undergoing lung resection surgery usually receive one lung ventilation (OLV). Decrease of systemic oxygenation occurs during OLV due to intrapulmonary shunt. During OLV, significant decrease in cerebral oxygenation (SctO2) is also known to occur and low SctO2 is related to postoperative complications.

Because the endpoint of hemodynamic optimization is to improve oxygen delivery to major organs, understanding how the administration of vasoactive agents affects cerebral perfusion and oxygenation, the most important organ in the body is of major clinical relevance. Recently published studies show that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-guided brain protection protocols might lead to reduced neurocognitive complications and improved postoperative outcomes.

However, there have been no data on which agent between dopamine and phenylephrine, the most commonly used aged during operation against hypotension, is better in maintaining cerebral oxygen saturation during thoracic surgery. Therefore, the investigators try to compare dopamine and phenylephrine continuous infusion in respect to maintaining SctO2 in major thoracic surgery.

In addition, acute kidney injury (AKI) develops in around 6% of patients after lung resection surgery and AKI is related to poor prognosis and prolonged duration of hospital admission.Therefore, the investigators also tried to find which agent is better to maintain urinary output during operation and reduce postoperative AKI. The investigators also found there is difference in postoperative delirium incidence between dopamine and phenylephrine continuous infusion.

The primary aims of the study were (i) to investigate the effect of phenylephrine and dopamine continuous infusion on cerebral SctO2 (ii) to identify the hemodynamic variables [mean blood pressure, cardiac output, heart rate (HR), stroke volume (SV)] which are responsible for the changes in cerebral SctO2 induced by phenylephrine and dopamine treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing dopamine and phenylephrine in people with Hypoxia and Hypotension, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 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 South Korea. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hyun Joo Ahn (82-2-3410-0784, hyunjooahn@skku.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cerebral oximeter reading (time frame: at 60 minutes after one lung ventilation). 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 11 Dec 2013.
