About this study

Official title: The Effects of High Frequency Jet Ventilation on Intra-ocular Pressure During Laparoscopic Operations (Lap. Cholecystectomy) With Positive Pressure Pneumoperitoneum

Background: Positive pressure pneumoperitoneum (PP) may involve adverse pathophysiological changes, including increased intra-thoracic and ocular pressure, when combined with standard ventilation. High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) was reported to reduce the adverse cardiovascular effects during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Aim: To study the effects of HFJV on intra-ocular pressure changes (reflecting intra-cranial pressure) during laparoscopic surgery under PP.

Read the detailed description

Patients and methods: The investigators studied 2 groups of patients electively scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The study group included 10 patients that were ventilated by high frequency jet ventilation (HFJV). In the control group (16 patients) the investigators used the standard intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV). Both groups were matched according to clinical and hemodynamic parameters. Intra-ocular pressure was measured by a senior ophthalmologist that was blinded to the ventilation technique. Laparoscopic surgery was done as usual, and the intra-peritoneal pressure was automatically set on 14 mmHg. Statistical significance was considered whenever P value was less than 0.05.

The investigators anticipate that the use of HFJV during laparoscopic operations under PP may prevent increased intra-ocular pressure that accompanies increased intra-abdominal pressure under conventional ventilation (IPPV).

What participants receive

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

  • HFJV ventilationProcedure or surgery

    The investigators used the Perkins tonometer for monitoring intra-ocular pressure. Evaluation of intra-ocular pressure was done before induction of anesthesia, end of induction, during surgery and at the end of surgery.

  • IPPV ventilationProcedure or surgery

    The investigators used the Perkins tonometer for monitoring intra-ocular pressure. Evaluation of intra-ocular pressure was done before induction of anesthesia, end of induction, during surgery and at the end of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HFJV ventilation and IPPV ventilation in people with Pneumoperitoneum, run by Western Galilee Hospital-Nahariya.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Apr 2016. 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?

Intra-ocular pressure (time frame: During procedure). 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 7 Apr 2016.
