Trial summary

Ventilator mode change was associated with decrease in blood loss during posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) due to decrease in the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of equal ratio ventilation (ERV), which sets the I:E ratio of the ventilator to 1:1 during… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Equal Ratio Ventilation on Blood Loss During Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Ventilator mode change was associated with decrease in blood loss during posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) due to decrease in the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of equal ratio ventilation (ERV), which sets the I:E ratio of the ventilator to 1:1 during volume controlled ventilaiton, on surgical blood loss during PLIF. Investigators hypothesized that ERV would decrease surgical blood loss due to decrease in the PIP.

Read the detailed description

After anesthesia, patients will receive ventilator settings according to theri group. The CVP will be measured before and after the prone position to ensure the proper positioning. Airway pressures including peak inspiratory pressure, mean/plateau airway pressure, arterial blood gas analysis data, hct, lactate, body temperature, mean arterial pressure, cardiac index. Recodings will be done 5min afte the induction, 5 min after the prone positioning, sikin suture, and 5min after supine position. Amount of bleeding, coagulation profile and Hct will be recorded 72 hrs after the surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Equal ratio ventilation(ERV)Other

    Also called I:E ratio 1:1

    Set the inspiratory to expiratory ratio 1:1 during mechanical ventilation

  • I:E Ratio "1:2Other

    Set the inspiratory to expiratory ratio 1:2 during mechanical ventilation

Control groupActive comparatorventilator inspiration to expiration ratio will be set 1:2.
Receives: Other: I:E Ratio "1:2

What is being measured

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

  1. The amount of intraoperative surgical bleeding

    The surgical blood loss was compared in the two groups (ERV vs. conrol) during posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF) in prone position.

    Measured: At the end of the surgery, approximately 4 hrs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Equal ratio ventilation(ERV) and I:E Ratio "1:2 in people with Blood Loss, Surgical, run by Gangnam 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 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 6 Aug 2018. 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?

The amount of intraoperative surgical bleeding (time frame: At the end of the surgery, approximately 4 hrs.). 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 6 Aug 2018.
