About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Indirect Measurement of Respiratory Quotient in Non-cardiac Major Surgery as a Predictor of Anaerobic Metabolism (The BAR Study) Indirect Respiratory Quotient as a Predictor of Anaerobic Metabolism

Demonstrate the ability of the RQ, measured indirectly from the anesthesia ventilator, to predict the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in patients operated of major non-cardiac surgical operation in the operating room

Read the detailed description

Indirect respiratory quotient (RQ) measurement involves indirect calorimetry, which measures O2 and CO2 inspired and expired fractions. This measurement is usually used to estimate energy expenditure and which energetic substrate is preferentially used in resuscitation patients. Litterature demonstrated in a mouse model that the formation of hemorrhagic shock was associated with a change in RQ due to VCO2 and VO2 imbalance. RQ was able to distinguish anaerobic metabolism and corrected itself with correction of shock. Recently in Litterature showed a link between lactate production, cardiac output and the evolution of the RQ measured by indirect calorimetry in a resuscitation patient. Also, these authors raise the question of a possible use of the RQ in intensive care as an early non-invasive marker of anaerobic metabolism that can replace the invasive ones usually used (arterial lactate, venoarterial PCO2 gradient, venoarterial PCO2 gradient/ arteriovenous O2 content difference, ScVO2). However, the measurement of inspired and expired fractions in O2 and CO2 is part of the systematic monitoring of the intubated-ventilated patient in the operating room. The measurement of the VO2, VCO2 and the RQ could therefore be done from these fractions inspired and expired in O2 and CO2 by the following equation:

RQ = (FeCO2-FiCO2) / (FiO2-FeO2) The main objective of our work is to demonstrate the ability of the RQ, measured indirectly from the anesthesia ventilator, to predict the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in patients operated of major non-cardiac surgical operation in the operating room. Secondly, the objective is to evaluate the association between the variations of the RQ, EtCO2, Dc, ScVO2, venoarterial PCO2 gradient, venoarterial PCO2 gradient/arteriovenous O2 content difference and lactate levels at different times during the surgical procedure and depending on the occurrence of postoperative complications.

What participants receive

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

  • surgeryOther

    Indirect measurement of RQ was performed by anesthesia ventilator and compared to marker of anaerobic metabolism (arterial lactate, venoarterial PCO2 gradient, venoarterial PCO2 gradient/ arteriovenous O2 content difference, ScVO2) at different time of the srugery (every hours). In post-operative time, complications and hospital's length of stay were recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory Quotient (RQ)

    indirectly measured from the anesthetic respirator, and its predictive ability to develop anaerobic metabolism.

    Measured: 1 Month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Surgery, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 10 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 18 Sep 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 France. 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?

Respiratory Quotient (RQ) (time frame: 1 Month). 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 NCT03471962, 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 18 Sep 2018.
