Trial summary

The prevalence of OSA (Obstructive sleep apnea,OSA) is 2%-4% in general population and 16%-47% in surgical-heart failure patients. Our previous study found that OSA was associated with the increasing incidence of perioperative adverse events.The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), as the standard treatment for… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preoperative CPAP Treatment on Perioperative Outcomes in Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease Patients With OSA

The prevalence of OSA (Obstructive sleep apnea,OSA) is 2%-4% in general population and 16%-47% in surgical-heart failure patients. Our previous study found that OSA was associated with the increasing incidence of perioperative adverse events.The continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), as the standard treatment for OSA, is extensively applied clinically. The previous study reported that postoperative AHI was reduced and SPO2 was increased by CPAP treatment. However, whether CPAP treatment can improve OSA postoperative and related adverse events or not in patients with rheumatic valvular heart diseases (RVHD) were not reported.The purpose of this study is to observe the effective of preoperative CPAP on postoperative sleep parameters and adverse events, such as AHI changes, duration of ICU stay and duration of mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

Between December 1, 2017 and June 30 2019, 200 patients with chronic heart failure caused by rheumatic valvular heart disease waiting for heart valve replacement in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery were screened for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by full-night polysomnography (PSG). Of them, 30 OSA patients were enrolled and randomly received CPAP treatment and non-CPAP treatment (15:15).

The CPAP treatment group received both baseline and CPAP treatment. The full-night CPAP treatment was conducted from 21:00 pm to 6:00 am for 7 days preoperatively. The non-CPAP treatment group received baseline treatment.

Preoperative Sleep parameters (AHI, mean and lowest SPO2) and clinical evaluations including NYHA class, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic, arterial blood gas analysis findings, baseline medication, and 6-minute walk test were recorded.

Operation related parameters such as duration of operation, duration of cardiopulmonary bypass and bleeding volume were recorded.

Postoperative adverse events such as duration of ICU stay, postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation, pacemaker use, complicated infection and reintubation are recorded.

A PSG was re-examined before discharge from hospital. The changes of AHI, mean and lowest SPO2 between pre- and post-operative PSG parameters were calculated.

The operation related parameters, postoperative adverse events and the changes of sleep parameters were compared between CPAP and non-CPAP patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)

    The changes of apnea-hypopnea index pre- and post-operative were compared between CPAP and non-CPAP patients.

    Measured: 2 weeks,depends on length of hospital stay

  2. duration of ICU stay

    Postoperative duration of ICU stay was compared between CPAP and non-CPAP patients.

    Measured: 3 days, depends on the patient's recovery

  3. length of mechanical ventilation

    Postoperative length of mechanical ventilation was compared between CPAP and non-CPAP patients.

    Measured: 1 day, depends on the patient's recovery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. mean and lowest SPO2

    The changes of mean and lowest SPO2 pre- and post-operative were compared between CPAP and non-CPAP patients

    Measured: 2 weeks,depends on length of hospital stay

  2. pacemaker use

    Postoperative pacemaker use was compared between CPAP and non-CPAP patients.

    Measured: 3 days, depends on the patient's recovery

  3. complicated infection and reintubation

    Postoperative complicated infection and reintubation were compared between CPAP and non-CPAP patients.

    Measured: 3 days, depends on the patient's recovery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing continuous positive airway pressure in people with Rheumatic Valvular Heart Disease and Obstructive Sleep Apnea, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2020. 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 China. 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?

apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (time frame: 2 weeks,depends on length of hospital stay). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03398733, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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?
