Trial summary

The area of aesthesia-induced atelectasis is much larger in the obese compared with the non-obese, but there may also be more airway closure and impaired matching of ventilation and lung blood flow. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Influence of Prolonged Inspiratory Time on Respiratory Mechanics and Oxygenation in Obese Patients Undergoing Spine Surgery in the Prone Position

The area of aesthesia-induced atelectasis is much larger in the obese compared with the non-obese, but there may also be more airway closure and impaired matching of ventilation and lung blood flow.

When an anesthetized patient is turned to the prone position, dynamic compliance (Cdyn) decreases and peak airway pressure increases unless the abdomen hangs freely to prevent the abdominal viscera from compromising the diaphragm movement. Although the Wilson frame is designed to allow the abdomen to hang, it partially compresses the anterior abdominal wall and therefore does not allow the abdomen to hang completely, especially in obese patients.

This in turn increases peak airway pressure and decreases Cdyn, oxygenation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a prolonged I:E ratio (i.e., 1:1) compared with the conventional I:E ratio of 1:2 on respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics during spine surgery in the prone position in obese patients.

We hypothesized that, compared with an I:E ratio of 1:2, a ratio of 1:1 improve oxygenation without hemodynamic instability .

Read the detailed description

After written informed consent was obtained from all patients, 50 adult patients were enrolled in the study.

The patients met the following inclusion criteria: (1) body mass index (BMI, weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in metres) > 25 kg/m2; (2) American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status classification grade I or II (BMI by itself was not used as the basis for the ASA classification); (3) aged 20 - 65 years; and (4) scheduled for elective spine surgery in prone position.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have severe pulmonary disease: history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or pneumothorax. Patients with haemodynamic instability, hypovolaemia, bronchopleural fistula, The enrolled patients were randomly allocated according to a predetermined allocation sequence to receive an I:E ratio of either 1:1 (group 1:1) or 1:2 (group 1:2).

The allocation sequence with no blocking was generated in an Internet website Standard monitoring techniques, including electrocardiography, pulse oximetry, and noninvasive arterial blood pressure measurement, are applied upon arrival at the operating room.

Anesthesia was induced with intravenous propofol 1.5 mg_kg-1 and rocuronium 0.8 mg_kg-1 was administered intravenously.

After tracheal intubation, volume-controlled ventilation was initiated with an I:E ratio of 1:2 or 1:1, no positive end-expiratory pressure, and a tidal volume of 10 mL per ideal body weight (kg). A respiratory rate was adjusted in order to end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) of 33 - 36 mmHg during surgery. Anesthesia was maintained with an end-tidal concentration of 2-2.5 vol% sevoflurane in 40% oxygen/air. The bispectral index score was monitored continuously in order to maintain an adequate anesthetic depth and was targeted at a range of 40-60 during surgery.

Radial artery cannulation was conducted for monitoring continuous arterial blood pressure and blood sampling.

Respiratory, hemodynamic, and arterial blood gas data were assessed and recorded at three time points: ten minutes after tracheal intubation in the supine position (T1), 30 min after prone positioning (T2), 90 min after prone positioning(T3). Respiratory data consisted of peak airway pressure, plateau airway pressure, mean airway pressure, static compliance, EtCO2, respiratory rate, and minute volume. Arterial pH, arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2), and lactate level were obtained from arterial blood gas analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IE ratio 1:1 and IE ratio 1:2 in people with Hypoxia, run by Gachon University Gil Medical Center 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 2 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 5 Nov 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

PaO2(Partial Pressure of Oxygen in Arterial Blood) (time frame: ten minutes after tracheal intubation to 90 min after prone position). 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 5 Nov 2019.
