Trial summary

Video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (VATET) is a minimally-invasive method for excision of mediastinal mass instead of open thymectomy. The iatrogenic capnothorax with one-lung ventilation during VATET may cause hemodynamic instability due to the compression of intrathoracic structures. Read more about this study

About this study

Video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (VATET) is a minimally-invasive method for excision of mediastinal mass instead of open thymectomy. The iatrogenic capnothorax with one-lung ventilation during VATET may cause hemodynamic instability due to the compression of intrathoracic structures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of capnothorax on the pulmonary blood flow and cardiac function during the VATET by using the transesophageal echocardiography.

What participants receive

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

  • capnothoraxProcedure or surgery

    Also called VATET, capnothorax, TEE

    After patient positioning, the capnothorax will be created by insufflation of carbon dioxide in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic extended thymectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The changes of the echocardiographic indices

    pulmonary blood flow = PVA(cross sectional area of LUPV) x VTI(velocity time integral) x HR , Fractional area change = [(LVAd-LVAs)/LVAd] × 100 Ejection fraction = [(LVEDV(LV end-diastolic volume) -LVESV(LV end-systolic volume)/LVEDV] × 100

    Measured: four time points during the operation. (1)10 min after induction (baseline); (2) 1 min after CO2 insufflation; (3)10 min after of CO2 insufflation; and (4)20 min after CO2 insufflation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The changes of the oxygenation and respiratory dynamic parameters

    shunt fraction Qs/Qt = (CcO2- CaO2)/(CcO2- CvO2) CcO2 = Hgb x 1.34 x ScO2 + PcO2 x 0.003, lung compliance : Compliance= Vt / Pplat, physiologic dead space : Vd/Vt = 1.14 x (PaCO2 - PETCO2)/PaCO2- 0.005

    Measured: four time points during the operation, an expected average of 3 hours. (1)10 min after induction (baseline); (2) 1 min after CO2 insufflation; (3)10 min after of CO2 insufflation; and (4)20 min after CO2 insufflation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing capnothorax in people with Mediastinal Tumors, run by Yonsei University.

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 7 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 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The changes of the echocardiographic indices (time frame: four time points during the operation. (1)10 min after induction (baseline); (2) 1 min after CO2 insufflation; (3)10 min after of CO2 insufflation; and (4)20 min after CO2 insufflation). 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 17 Apr 2015.
