About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effect of Low and High Fraction of Inspired Oxygen on Postoperative Surgical Field Infection and Pulmonary Complications in Patients Undergoing Supratentorial Craniotomy

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of high 0.8 and low 0.4 *FiO2 ventilation primarily on surgical field infection and secondarily on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients are undergoing supratentorial craniotomy surgeons.

*fraction of inspired oxygen

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is to compare effects of high 0.8 FiO2 and low 0.4 FiO2 in patients are undergoing supratentorial craniotomy surgery primarily on postoperative surgical wound infection and secondarily on postoperative pulmonary complications.

The study will be performed prospectively in patient are undergoing elective supratentorial craniotomy with supine position at Istanbul university Cerrahpasa Medical School Department of Neurosurgery operating room. ASA class I-III 80 patients will be included the study. Exclusion criteria are obstructive or restrictive lung disease, chest wall deformity, congestive heart failure, liver or kidney failure, postoperatively non-cooperative and unconsciousness, preoperative fever and infection history, serious malnutrition( plasma albumin level < 3 g/dl, WBC <2500/mm3 or weight loss more than 20% in 3 months),and diabetes mellitus.

The gender, age, height, weight, BMI, smoking history and systemically illness of patients will be recorded. Patients will be randomized with closed envelop technique and divided in 2 groups. All patients will be monitored ECG, heart rate, invasive blood pressure , FiO2,pulse oximetry (SpO2) and end tidal carbon dioxide . Propofol (2 mg kg-1), remifentanyl (0.15 µ kg-1), rocuronium (0.6 mg kg-1) will be used for induction in both groups. Anesthesia maintenance will be provided with sevoflurane (1 MAC), remifentanyl (0.05-0.1 µ kg-1 dk-1) and rocuronium (0.3 mg kg-1 sa-1) . Patients will be intubated orotracheally and ventilated with volume control mode ( tidal volume 8 mL/kg, respiratory frequency will be adjusted between 9-12/minutes to hold PaCO2 between 33-35 mmHg ,inspiration/expiration ratio ½,PEEP:5 cmH2O ). Peroperative analgesia will be provided with remifentanyl infusion. Ondansetron 8 mg for antiemesis and tramadol 100 mg for postoperative analgesia will be administered intravenously 30 minutes before extubation. Duration of surgery and non-invasive cerebral oxygen saturation (SctO2) using bilateral frontal electrodes will be recorded. At the end of the surgery, sugammadex 2mg kg-1 will be administered for decurarization in all groups. Patients will be transferred to the recovery room in postoperative period and 15L/min and 4L/min oxygen will be given to 0.8 FiO2 group and other group, respectively.

Wound healing will be evaluated every day in terms of surgical wound infection occurrence for postoperative 14 days with ASEPSIS classification. Surgical wound infection will be considered in patients who score 20 or more on daily basis. The patients who are discharged will be reached by phone. Pneumonia, atelectasis, respiratory failure, hospital and intensive care unit stay will be recorded for postoperative 14 days. *CDC criteria will be used to diagnose pneumonia. Respiratory insufficiency is diagnosed by SpO2 fall below 90% despite oxygen treatment and mechanical ventilation need. If pulmonary complication develops ,findings will be recorded with chest radiography or tomography when necessary.

What is being measured

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

  1. the rate of surgical field infection will be evaluated by ASEPSIS score.

    Table 1 ASEPSIS SCORE. Proportion of wound affected (%) Wound characteristic 0 <20 20-39 40-50 60-79 >80

    Total score Infection category 0-10 Satisfactory healing 11-20 Disturbance of healing 21-30 Minor wound healing 31-40 Moderate wound infection. >40 Severe wound infection

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The rate of postoperatively pulmonary complications such as pneumonia,respiratory failure will be evaluated.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria will be used for defining nosocomial pneumonia.

    The diagnosis of respiratory failure will be perform by reduction of SpO2 ≤ 90% although oxygen treatment and/or need for noninvasive or invasive mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Supratentorial Brain Tumor, run by Istanbul University.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 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?

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 rate of surgical field infection will be evaluated by ASEPSIS score. (time frame: 2 years). 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 Mar 2018.
