About this study

Official title: Optimal PEEP Based on the Open Lung Approach During One Lung Ventilation in Thoracic Surgery: a Physiological Study.

  • Question: Ventilatory strategy to counterbalance the effect of one lung ventilation during thoracic surgery.
  • Findings: the open lung approach improved oxygenation and lung compliance, reducing respiratory system driving pressure and transpulmonary driving pressure.
  • Meaning: patients undergoing thoracic surgery during one lung ventilation may benefit of an open lung approach strategy to avoid ventilator lung injury.
Read the detailed description

Background: During thoracic surgery in lateral decubitus, one lung ventilation (OLV) may impair respiratory mechanics and gas exchange. The investigators tested a strategy based on an open lung approach (OLA) consisting in lung recruitment immediately followed by a decremental positive-end expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration to the best respiratory system compliance (CRS) and separately quantified the elastic properties of the lung and the chest wall. The investigators hypothesis was that this approach would improve gas exchange and increase lung compliance (CL).

Methods: In thirteen patients undergoing upper left lobectomy the investigators studied lung and chest wall mechanics, transpulmonary pressure (PL), respiratory system and transpulmonary driving pressure (ΔPRS and ΔPL), gas exchange and hemodynamics at two time-points (a) during OLV at zero end-expiratory pressure (OLVpre-OLA) and (b) after the application of the open-lung strategy (OLVpost-OLA).

What participants receive

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

  • Recruitment maneuverProcedure or surgery

    the ventilator was switched to pressure-control ventilation with a driving pressure of 20 cmH2O. After a 3 min equilibration, PEEP was applied in steps of 5,10,15 and 20 cmH2O every five respiratory breaths; subsequently, after setting a driving pressure of 15 cmH2O, PEEP was stepwise reduced, starting from 15 cmH2O, by 2 cmH2O every 2 minutes. The recruiting pressure of 20/20 was applied for six breaths. During the decremental PEEP trial, CRS was measured at every step. The PEEP level corresponding to highest CRS during the decremental trial was identified as the "best PEEP". Subsequently, the lungs were recruited again and the "best" PEEP was applied.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in respiratory mechanics before and after the open lung approach

    Respiratory mechanics parameters were recorded, digitized and collected on a personal computer through a 12-bit analog-to digital converter board (DAQCard 700; National Instrument, Austin, TX) at a sample rate of 200 Hz (ICU Lab, KleisTEK Engineering, Bari, Italy).

    Measured: During surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Recruitment maneuver in people with Hypoxemia, run by University of Foggia.

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 1 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 19 Feb 2018. 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. 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?

Change in respiratory mechanics before and after the open lung approach (time frame: During surgery). 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 NCT03435523, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Feb 2018.
