About this study

Official title: Impact Of Posture and Prolonged Pneumoperitoneum on Intra-Operative and Postoperative Outcomes During Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery: An Observational Clinical Study

Laparoscopic surgery is now widely established.Laparoscopic surgery involves insufflation of a gas (usually carbon dioxide) into the peritoneal cavity producing a pneumoperitoneum. The raised intra-abdominal pressure of the pneumoperitoneum, alteration in the patient's position and effects of carbon dioxide absorption cause changes in physiology, especially within the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Read the detailed description

The study will be carried out after approval of the ethical committee of Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University. A full preoperative anesthetic assessment will be carried out. Particular attention to the cardiovascular and respiratory systems is essential because of potential effects of the pneumoperitoneum and patient position.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic SurgeryProcedure or surgery

    Insufflation of a gas (carbon dioxide) into the peritoneal cavity producing a pneumoperitoneum will be done. The positioning of the patients in Trendelenburg position will be done. intraoperative and postoperative outcomes will be assesed

What is being measured

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

  1. mean arterial blood pressure

    mean arterial blood pressure will be monitored at different times

    Measured: within the duration of the operation

  2. Pulmonary function tests

    forced expiratory volume at one second

    Measured: within the first 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PaO2

    PaO2 will be monitored at different times

    Measured: within the first 24 hours

  2. Arterial to end-tidal PaCO2- difference

    Arterial to end-tidal PaCO2- difference will be monitored at different times

    Measured: within the first 24 hours

  3. Intra-abdominal pressure

    Intra-abdominal pressure by direct measurement and indirect by Foley´s catheter will be monitored at different times (Cm water)

    Measured: within the first 24 hours

  4. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Postoperative nausea and vomiting will be monitored at different times by special scale

    Measured: within the first 24 hours

  5. Analgesic requirement

    Analgesic requirement will be monitored at different times by special scale (VAS)

    Measured: within the first 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Laparoscopy, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 Dec 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 Egypt. 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?

mean arterial blood pressure (time frame: within the duration of the operation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Dec 2018.
