About this study

Official title: Impact of Intraoperative High Inspired OXygen Fraction on Pulmonary Function, Surgical Site Infection, Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting in PEDiatric Anesthesia, the OXPED Study

This study is aiming at assessing the effect of inspired oxygen fraction during general anesthesia on children's lung mechanics and volume. More specifically, the temporal change in end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and respiratory system resistance and elastance during the perioperative period will be characterized in order to define the the effect of high inspired fraction of oxygen on lung function.

Read the detailed description

High-enriched oxygen fractions (FiO2)are common practice during general anesthesia both to ensure normoxemia despite intrapulmonary shunts and to provide security in case of adverse events. However, high-inspired oxygen fraction may decrease ventilation-perfusion ratios and its benefits are still unproven in children.

The investigators aim at assessing the benefits and potential adverse effects of high-inspired oxygen fraction in two groups of children receiving either 30% FiO2 or 80% FiO2 during maintenance of anesthesia. Nitrogen multiple breath washout technique and forced oscillation technique will be used to measure end-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and airway resistance (Rrs) and respiratory elastance (Xrs) respectively. These measurements will be obtained before the general anesthesia, one hour and one day after the procedure.

Group High FiO2Active comparatorChildren will receive Fi02 100% during induction of anesthesia until end tidal oxygen concentration (Et 02) of 90% before intubation, anesthesia will be maintained with Fi02 of 80%. Then, shortly before the planned extubation, Fi02 will be increased to 100%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative changes in lung volume in children receiving low (35%) or high (80%) intraoperative fraction of oxygen

    Measurement of end-expiratory lung volume by nitrogen wash-out technique

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Postoperative changes in airway resistance in children receiving low (35%) or high (80%) intraoperative fraction of oxygen

    Measurement of airway resistance and respiratory system elastance by forced oscillation technique

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Respiratory complications

    Assessing intraoperative (bronchospasm, laryngospasm, oxygen desaturation, airway obstruction) and postoperative (hypoxemia, atelectasis, pneumonia) complications

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxygen in people with Hyperoxia, run by Walid HABRE at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 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 7 Aug 2018. 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 Switzerland. 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?

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?

Postoperative changes in lung volume in children receiving low (35%) or high (80%) intraoperative fraction of oxygen (time frame: 24 hours). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02384616, 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 7 Aug 2018.
