About this study

Official title: The Effects of Positive-pressure Ventilation on Cerebral Oxygenation and Cardiac Output in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty.

The purpose of this study is to measure cerebral oxygenation and cardiac output of total shoulder replacement patients undergoing general anesthesia (GA) and positive-pressure ventilation (PPV).

We hypothesize that cerebral desaturation occurs frequently during GA with PPV, but is rare during GA and spontaneous ventilation. We also hypothesize that cardiac output usually is well maintained under GA in the sitting position when epinephrine is used, but that decreased cardiac output increases the risk of cerebral desaturation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Cerebral Desaturation Events

    The number of Cerebral Desaturation Events (CDE) that occured. CDE is defined as a reduction in cerebral tissue oxygen saturation of >20% from baseline that lasts for 90 seconds or longer.

    Measured: Day of surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Cardiac Output (CO)

    Cardiac output of patients as measured in liters per minute

    Measured: Day of surgery

  2. Cardiac Index (CI)

    Average cardiac index for patients, a measurement of how efficient the heart is pumping. Measured in liters per minute per meters squared of heart size.

    Measured: Day of surgery

  3. Stroke Volume (SV)

    Stroke volume, the amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart with each contraction. Measured in milliliters.

    Measured: Day of surgery

  4. Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)

    mean arterial pressure and noninvasive blood pressure will be represented as a percentage of baseline after surgery. A lower percentage is a worse outcome.

    Measured: Day of surgery

  5. End Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2)

    a lower score is a better outcome.

    Measured: Day of surgery

  6. Intravenous Fluid Volume

    Measured: Day of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Ischemia, run by Hospital for Special Surgery, New York 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 3 inclusion and 14 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 17 Jan 2023. 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 17 Jan 2023). 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?

Number of Cerebral Desaturation Events (time frame: Day 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 NCT02198183, which also lists 4 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 17 Jan 2023.
