About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Intraoperative Atelectasis Findings on Transthoracic Lung Ultrasound and PaO2/FiO2

The aim of this study is to find out relationship between PaO2/FiO2 and atelectasis finding on intraoperative lung ultrasound.

Read the detailed description

Patients aged 20~65 with ASA class (American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification) 1 or 2 who are scheduled to undergo general anesthesia by using endotracheal intubation and arterial line cannulation will participate in this study. The patients with abnormal chest x-ray finding, pregnancy, arrhythmia, ischemic heart disease will be excluded from this study as well as the patients who are scheduled to undergo lung or heart surgery.

After 5 minutes preoxygenation, patients will be monitored with pulse oxymetry, noninvasive blood pressure. General anesthesia will be proceeded with typical method and endotracheal intubation and arterial cannulation will be proceeded. After ventilator adjustment (tidal volume as 8 times of the patient's ideal body weight), airway pressures(peak and plateau) will be recorded. Subsequently, arterial blood sampling will be proceeded while examination of the atelectasis findings on lung ultrasound before surgery. Lung ultrasound examination will be proceeded on 6 sections of patient's basal segments of the lung, including anterior, lateral, posterior segment. Juxtapleural consolidation, loss of A lines, presence of B lines, air bronchogram, loss of sliding sign and presence of pulse sign on lung ultrasound finding will be investigated and recorded.

Same ultrasound examination and arterial blood sampling will be followed after surgery ends.

The results of PaO2/FiO2 on arterial blood samplings will be compared with findings on lung ultrasound before and after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative lung ultrasound for atelectasis

    Lung ultrasound examination for atelectasis findings (eg. whether there is a loss of A line or presence of B lines before and after surgery)

    Measured: Baseline (Before surgery begins) and Postoperative (Just after the surgery ends)

  2. Change in PaO2/FiO2

    Arterial blood sampling to find out whether their is a change in PaO2/FiO2 before and after surgery.

    Measured: Baseline (Before surgery begins) and Postoperative (Just after the surgery ends)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Airway pressure change

    To find out if there is any difference between preoperative and postoperative airway pressures(peak and plateau pressure), monitored by ventilator used during general anesthesia in mmHg

    Measured: Baseline (Before surgery begins) and Postoperative (Just after the surgery ends)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound in people with Atelectasis, Postoperative, run by Severance Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 27 Apr 2016. 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 South Korea. 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?

Intraoperative lung ultrasound for atelectasis (time frame: Baseline (Before surgery begins) and Postoperative (Just after the surgery ends)). 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 NCT02499536, 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 27 Apr 2016.
