Trial summary

The aim of our study is to investigate if the use of the AirSeal insufflation system impairs the lung function of patients less than a conventional system in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Therefore we examine the lung function before and after surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Possible Advantages of the AirSeal-system Compared to Conventional CO2 Insufflation Systems in Terms of Lung Function and Hemodynamics in Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostate Ectomy

The aim of our study is to investigate if the use of the AirSeal insufflation system impairs the lung function of patients less than a conventional system in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). Therefore we examine the lung function before and after surgery.

As a second purpose of the study, in a subgroup, we investigate the influence of the gas insufflators (AirSeal and conventional) on hemodynamics during surgery. Furthermore we study the change in the lung perfusion-ventilation-ratio by using the electric impedance tomography technique.

What participants receive

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

  • AirSealDevice

    100 patients are treated with the AirSeal insufflation and trocar system

  • Olympus UHI-3Device

    100 patients are treated with a conventional insufflation and trocar system

What is being measured

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

  1. forced vital capacity (FVC)

    Measured: before operation, 1, 24, 120 hours after surgery

  2. forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)

    Measured: before operation, 1, 24, 120 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. ventilation parameters

    peak pressure, positive end-expiratory pressure, end-tidal CO2, respiratory rate are recorded during surgery

    Measured: after induction, 30minutes after trendelenburg position, one hour after trendelenburg, two hours after trendelenburg (if operation has not been finished yet), patient in supine position

  2. hemodynamic parameters

    global end diastolic volume (GEDV), stoke volume variation (SVV); cardiac index (CI), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI)

    Measured: after induction, 30minutes after trendelenburg position, one hour after trendelenburg, two hours after trendelenburg (if operation has not been finished yet), patient in supine position

  3. electric impedance tomography

    Measured: after induction, 30minutes after trendelenburg position, one hour after trendelenburg, two hours after trendelenburg (if operation has not been finished yet), patient in supine position

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AirSeal and Olympus UHI-3 in people with Lung Function, run by Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf at 2 sites in Germany.

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 5 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 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

forced vital capacity (FVC) (time frame: before operation, 1, 24, 120 hours after surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Oct 2014.
