About this study

Official title: Effect of Positive End-expiratory Pressure on Arterial Oxygen Partial Pressure in Elderly Patients Undergoing Urologic Surgery Using LMA Supreme™ in Lithotomy Position

The purpose of the present study is to compare the effect of PEEP on arterial oxygen partial pressure in elderly patients undergoing urologic surgery using LMA supreme™ in a lithotomy position.

Read the detailed description

Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation is routinely used as a standard lung protective strategy to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications including atelectasis.

In urologic surgery, elderly patients are common. Since aging decreases the elasticity of lung tissues and allowing the collapse of small airways, old age is a risk factor for postoperative atelectasis. Lithotomy position is the preferred position in urologic surgery. However, it causes the abdominal viscera to displace the diaphragm cephalad, reducing lung compliance and resulting atelectasis. Therefore, in elderly patients undergoing urologic surgery with lithotomy position, PEEP may be essential to prevent postoperative atelectasis.

Laryngeal mask airway (LMA) has been widely used in urologic surgery with lithotomy position because of short surgical time and no necessity of administration of muscle relaxant. However, application of PEEP when using LMA is still controversy. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to compare the effect of PEEP on arterial oxygen partial pressure in elderly patients undergoing urologic surgery using LMA supreme™ in a lithotomy position.

What participants receive

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

  • PEEPOther

    Also called Application of PEEP 7 cmH2O

    After LMA Supreme™ insertion, it's proper position is confirmed. Then, PEEP of 7 cmH2O is applied during mechanical ventilation.

Study groups in NCT03390127
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group PExperimentalAfter LMA Supreme™ insertion, PEEP of 7 cmH2O would apply during general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation.
Receives: Other: PEEP
Group ZNo interventionAfter LMA Supreme™ insertion, PEEP would not apply during general anesthesia with mechanical ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The difference of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) between group P and group Z

    The difference of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) between group P and group Z 1 hour after LMA insertion by arterial blood gas analysis

    Measured: 1 hour after LMA insertion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative pulmonary complications

    Postoperative pulmonary complications include atelectasis, pneumothorax, bronchospasm, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, respiratory failure

    Measured: Up to seven days

  2. Complications associated with LMA

    Complications associated with LMA include oropharyngolaryngeal injury and sore throat.

    Measured: 1 hour after end of surgery

  3. Incidence of significant leak of LMA

    Significant leak of LMA means that leak friction is more than 0.2.

    Measured: At 5, 30, 60 mins after LMA insertion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEP in people with Urinary Bladder Neoplasms and Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Asan Medical Center 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 Apr 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 difference of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) between group P and group Z (time frame: 1 hour after LMA insertion). 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 Apr 2018.
