About this study

Official title: Lung Recruitment Improves Right Ventricle Performance After Cardio-Pulmonary Bypass

This study test whether a lung recruitment maneuver improves the right ventricle performance after cardiopulmonary bypass. Half of the patients received an standard protective ventilation and the other half the same ventilatory pattern after a lung recruitment maneuver.

Read the detailed description

Atelectasis is developed in 90% of anesthetized patients after surgery.

Protective ventilation with low tidal volumes and positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) promotes atelectasis with the potential right ventricle dysfunction induced by the increment in afterload (activation of the pulmonary hypoxic vasocontriction reflex).

Lung recruitment can improve the right ventricle performance caused by atelectasis because the pulmonary hypoxic vasocontriction reflex desapear in a normal aerated lungs.

What participants receive

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

  • Lung recruitment maneuverProcedure or surgery

    The lung recruitment maneuver consists in a brief and controlled increment in airways pressure (20 cmH2O of PEEP + 20 cmH2O of driving pressure) for 10 breaths.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control groupNo interventionPatients received standard protective ventilation along the protocol.
Recruitment maneuver groupExperimentalPatient received a lung recruitment maneuver after cardiopulmonary bypass. The recruitment maneuver consists in 10 breaths at 40/20 cmH2O of plateau pressure and PEEP, respectively. Then, the .ventilatory settings back to protective ventilation but adding 10 cmH2O of PEEP to keep the lungs open.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lung recruitment maneuver in people with Atelectasis, run by Hospital Privado de Cordoba, Argentina.

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 3 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 14 Jun 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?

Right ventricle assessment by transesophageal echocardiography (time frame: intraoperative). 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 14 Jun 2016.
