About this study

Official title: Does a Protective One Lung Ventilation Strategy Reduce the Inflammatory Cytokine Local Response After Pulmonary Resection?

This study evaluates the local cytokine inflammatory response during one lung ventilation in patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy or wedge resection. We compare two different ventilation strategies: a conventional strategy with a protective strategy.

Read the detailed description

One-lung ventilation (OLV) is a ventilation procedure used for pulmonary resection often causing lung injury. International guidelines have recommended for years the use of conventional ventilation (CV) with high tidal volume (VT) (8-10 ml\kg).A body of recent evidences have shown that conventional ventilation can reduce systemic oxygenation, increase inflammatory products and cause lung tissue damage. In this study we compare the conventional strategy , consisted of Vt 10 mL/kg, with the protective strategy, consisted of Vt 5 mL/kg. Both Vt were based on predicted body weight (PBW). Broncho-alveolar lavages (BAL) are selectively performed in the dependent (ventilated) lung before and at the end of the OLV. The levels of pro-inflammatory (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF) and anti-inflammatory (IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, INFγ) cytokines are evaluated. We also evaluate patients clinical outcomes in terms of incidence of postoperative respiratory complications and length of stay.

What is being measured

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

  1. local cytokine inflammatory response in the two study groups

    The levels of cytokines were evaluated in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL)

    Measured: Change from Baseline cytokines level and the end of surgery (about 60 minutes)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of postoperative respiratory in the two study groups

    PaO2 /FIO 2 <300 mm Hg and /or the presence of newly developed lung lesions (lung infi ltration and atelectasis)

    Measured: within 48 hours of the operation

  2. lenght of stay in the two study groups

    lenght of hospital stay expressed in days

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventional One-Lung Ventilation and Protective One-lung ventilation in people with Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury and Inflammatory Response, run by University of Roma La Sapienza.

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 17 Feb 2017. 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?

local cytokine inflammatory response in the two study groups (time frame: Change from Baseline cytokines level and the end of surgery (about 60 minutes)). 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 17 Feb 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
