About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and High-frequency Jet Ventilation in Nondependent Lung During One-lung Ventilation in Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

This study compares two ventilatory techniques (continuous positive airway pressure vs high frequency jet ventilation) during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). All patients were ventilated with both ventilatory techniques and parameters of gas exchange were determined through arterial blood gas test.

Read the detailed description

One-lung ventilation is mandatory during most thoracic surgery procedures. During OLV, collapsed lung develops an intrapulmonary shunt leading to arterial hypoxemia. Since arterial hypoxemia is a critical intraoperative problem, many times , anesthesiologists have to use rescue ventilation strategies on non-dependent lung to improve arterial oxygen levels. The use of continuous positive airway pressure on non-dependent lung has become the most common technique to achieve that aim.

High-frequency jet ventilation on non-dependent lung may be considered as an alternative way of ventilation of the non-dependent lung during one-lung ventilation because it provides a suitable gaseous exchange while facilitating minimizing surgical field motion. However, this ventilation maneuver is rarely use by thoracic anesthesiologists.

Over the last years, video assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become widely utilized. This surgical technique becomes even more dependent on immobilization of the operation field than open-chest thoracic procedures. There is a lack of evidence in the current literature regarding the use of HFJV in VATS.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of HFJV as an alternative for the treatment of hypoxemia in VATS.

What participants receive

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

  • CPAPProcedure or surgery

    A recruitment maneuver will be applied to the ventilated lung. Immediately continuous positive airway pressure, at a pressure of 2-3cmH2O will applied to the non-ventilated lung for 20 minutes by the Mallinckrodt Bronchocath Disposable CPAP system (a recognised anesthetic breathing system design for CPAP).

  • HFJVProcedure or surgery

    A recruitment maneuver will be applied to the ventilated lung. Immediately, high-frequency jet ventilation, with a driving pressure of 0.5 atm and a respiratory rate of 100 cycles per minute will applied to the non-ventilated lung for 20 minutes using the Monsoone III Jet Ventilator (Acutronic, Hirzel, Switzerland). Monsoone III is a recognised ventilator design for HFJV.

Study groups in NCT03296449
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
One-Lung VentilationNo interventionDuring one-lung ventilation, when the chest is open, the non-dependent lung is collapsed and manipulated by the surgeon. It is the routine procedure during video-assisted thoracic surgery.
CPAP to non-dependent lungActive comparatorThe patient will be randomly assigned to the study arm "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)". CPAP will be applied for 20 minutes to the non-dependent lung at a pressure of 2-3cmH20 using the disposable Mallinckrodt Bronchocath CPAP system.
Receives: Procedure: CPAP
HFJV to non-dependent lungExperimentalThe patient is randomly assigned to the study arm "High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV)". HFJV will be applied for 20 minutes to the non-dependent lung with a driving pressure of a 0.6 atm, respiratory rate 100 cycles per minute using the Monsoone III Jet Ventilator (Acutronic, Hirzel, Switzerland).
Receives: Procedure: HFJV

What is being measured

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

  1. PaO2/FiO2

    Ratio of the arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) to the inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) determination.

    Time 0 (the patient is anesthetized and being ventilated on two lungs). Time 20 minutes (patient has been ventilated on one lung for 20 minutes). Time 40 minutes (following a period of 20 minutes on one intervention arm [either CPAP or HFJV]. The patient will then enter second intervention arm). Time 60 minutes ( 20 minutes after second intervention arm [either CPAP or HFJV])

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PaCO2

    Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure determination. Time 0 (the patient is anesthetized and being ventilated on two lungs). Time 20 minutes (patient has been ventilated on one lung for 20 minutes). Time 40 minutes (following a period of 20 minutes on one intervention arm [either CPAP or HFJV]. The patient will then enter second intervention arm). Time 60 minutes ( 20 minutes after second intervention arm [either CPAP or HFJV])

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Operative field conditions

    Surgeon's subjective opinion about operating conditions during the interventions: impossible surgical access, acceptable operative filed or excellent operative field).

    Time 20 minutes (patient has been ventilated on one lung for 20 minutes). Time 40 minutes (following a period of 20 minutes on one intervention arm [either CPAP or HFJV]. The patient will then enter second intervention arm). Time 60 minutes ( 20 minutes after second intervention arm [either CPAP or HFJV])

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPAP and HFJV in people with One-Lung Ventilation and Thoracic Surgery, Video-Assisted, run by Hospital General Universitario de Alicante at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 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 26 Feb 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 Spain. 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?

PaO2/FiO2 (time frame: 1 day). 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 26 Feb 2019.
