Trial summary

The investigator found out that as such the base line carbon dioxide (CO2) level is higher in smokers as compared to non-smokers even before creation of pneumoperitoneum, which is due to the compromised lung function following chronic smoking. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparing Arterial Blood Gas(ABG) in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Between Smokers and Non Smokers: A Randomized Double Blind Case Control Study

The investigator found out that as such the base line carbon dioxide (CO2) level is higher in smokers as compared to non-smokers even before creation of pneumoperitoneum, which is due to the compromised lung function following chronic smoking. This condition gets aggravated after creation of pneumoperitoneum which is very much evident from the serial arterial blood gas analysis. The level of CO2 remains elevated even after deflation of the pneumoperitoneum. Hence one has to be very much vigilant not only during intra-operative period but also in post-operative care unit. Hence serial ABG monitoring should be included as a part of the protocol especially in laparoscopic surgeries.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure is the treatment of choice for cholelithiasis as it has several advantages like smaller and more cosmetic incision, reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, reduced post-operative stay, low post-operative complications, and early mobilization. Although this type of surgery is minimally invasive in nature but creation of pneumoperitoneum and postural changes causes a number of physiological alterations. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most commonly used gas for this purpose because it does not support combustion, is cleared more rapidly than other gases, and is highly soluble in blood. However, the disadvantage of CO2 is that the absorption of CO2 can cause hypercapnia and respiratory acidosis. Hypercapnia activates the sympathetic nervous system leading to an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, arrhythmias and myocardial contractility as well as it also sensitizes myocardium to catecholamines. Increased IAP may compress venous vessels causing an initial increase in preload, followed by a sustained decrease in preload.

Tobacco smoking is an internationally accepted health hazard. The United nation (UN) health agency reports that about 4.9 million people die each year across the globe due to cigarette smoking. Chronic smoking (more than 20 pack year at least for 10 year) causes a number of pathological changes in respiratory system which includes inflammatory changes in lung parenchyma, imbalance between protease and anti-protease, oxidative stress, cilliary dysfunction, mucosal hyper secretion, airflow limitation and pulmonary hypertension.

Arterial blood gas analysis plays a very important role in assessing the acid-base status, adequacy of oxygenation and ventilation. It is very useful in management of critically ill patients and in patients with pulmonary disorders. It is also a standard part of work-up for the patients who present with unexplained hypoxemia and dyspnea. An ABG test uses blood drawn from an artery, where the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels can be measured before they enter body tissues.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arterial blood gas parameter like potential of hydrogen (PH)

    Above parameter was measured by serial ABG analysis

    Measured: 10 minutes before starting to 30 minutes after completion of surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Arterial blood gas parameter like partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2)

    Above parameter was measured by serial ABG analysis

    Measured: 10 minutes before starting to 30 minutes after completion of surgery

  2. Arterial blood gas parameter like bicarbonate(HCO3)

    Above parameter was measured by serial ABG analysis

    Measured: 10 minutes before starting to 30 minutes after completion of surgery

  3. Arterial blood gas parameter like base excess (BE)

    Above parameter was measured by serial ABG analysis

    Measured: 10 minutes before starting to 30 minutes after completion of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ABG analysis in people with Cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic, run by Banaras Hindu University.

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 9 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 May 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. 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?

Arterial blood gas parameter like potential of hydrogen (PH) (time frame: 10 minutes before starting to 30 minutes after completion of surgery). 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 May 2017.
