About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study of CO2 Exchange Patterns Between Valve-free Trocar (AirSeal®) Versus Standard Trocar (Endopath®) During Robotic Prostatectomies

The AirSeal® System will allow for lower carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption rates than the standard Endopath System.

Read the detailed description

The primary observation to be made is the level of carbon dioxide in the arterial blood, specifically when the patient is insufflated and deflated during the surgery. As a result of the consistent pressure that the AirSeal® system maintains, carbon dioxide will be absorbed in lower levels when compared to the standard of care systems in which fluctuations in intra-peritoneum pressure are seen.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • AirSeal SystemDevice

    Also called Valve-free Trocar

    To analyze the results of patients randomized to either the AirSeal system or Standard Endopath trocar.

  • Standard EndopathDevice

    Also called Endopath Trocar

    This group receives the Standard Endopath Trocar for intraoperative insufflation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative Pneumoperitoneal Pressure (mmHg)

    Pneumoperitoneal pressure is the pressure exerted by air or gas in the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity. As the amount of air/gas increases, the pressure (mmHg) increases. The highest pressure that occurred during the procedure was compared between groups.

    Measured: Through end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Intraoperative Arterial Blood Gas Carbon Dioxide (mmHg).

    The amount of dissolved carbon dioxide (PaCO2) in arterial blood (mmHg) during the operative procedure

    Measured: Baseline, 60 minutes, and at end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

  2. End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Pressure (mmHg)

    End-tidal carbon dioxide pressure is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide at the end of exhalation. Normal value is 35-45 mmHg.

    Measured: Baseline, 60 minutes, and at end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

  3. Carbon Dioxide Elimination (mmHg)

    Carbon dioxide elimination was calculated using end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (EtCO2), tidal volume, respiratory rate, barometric pressure (pB = 760mm Hg), partial pressure of water vapor (PH2O = 13 mm Hg), and patient weight (kg)

    Measured: Baseline, 60 minutes, and at end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

  4. Intraoperative Arterial Blood Gas Oxygen (mmHg).

    The amount of dissolved oxygen (PaO2) in arterial blood (mmHg).

    Measured: Baseline, 60 minutes, and end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

  5. Number of Ventilator Interventions

    The number of times the anesthesiologist had to adjust ventilator settings

    Measured: Through end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

  6. Procedure Time (Minutes)

    The duration of the procedure

    Measured: Through end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

  7. Smoke Evacuation Quality

    Smoke evacuation quality throughout the procedure was assessed by the surgeon as below average, average, or above average

    Measured: Through end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing AirSeal System and Standard Endopath in people with Prostate Cancer and Pneumoperitoneum, run by OhioHealth at 1 site in United States.

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 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 26 Nov 2021. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Nov 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Intraoperative Pneumoperitoneal Pressure (mmHg) (time frame: Through end of procedure, an average of 156 minutes). 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 NCT02114164, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Nov 2021.
