What participants receive

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

  • Lung ultrasoundDevice

    Lung ultrasound on both hemithorax in supine position

  • Respiratory managementOther

    Appropriate respiratory managements depending on the lung ultrasound findings

Study groups in NCT02870842
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ControlPlacebo comparatorPerform recruitment maneuver with fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of 1.0 after intubation under lung ultrasound guidance and maintain FiO2 of 0.6 during the general anesthesia.
Receives: Device: Lung ultrasound; Other: Respiratory management
Low FiO2Active comparatorPerform recruitment maneuver with low FiO2 of 0.3 after intubation under lung ultrasound guidance and maintain FiO2 of 0.3 during the general anesthesia.
Receives: Device: Lung ultrasound; Other: Respiratory management

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of postoperative atelectasis

    Measured: within the first day after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of atelectasis after endotracheal intubation

    Measured: from the moment of endotracheal intubation until the end of surgery, up to 4 hours

  2. Intraoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)

    Measured: from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 4 hours

  3. Postoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)

    Measured: within the first day after the surgery

  4. Postoperative incidence of fever (≥37.5℃)

    Measured: within the first day after the surgery

  5. Postoperative incidence of respiratory complications

    Measured: within the first day after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lung ultrasound and Respiratory management in people with Pulmonary Atelectasis, run by Seoul National University 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 24 Aug 2017. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Incidence of postoperative atelectasis (time frame: within the first day after the surgery). 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 NCT02870842, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 24 Aug 2017.
