About this study

Official title: Postoperative Atelectasis in Pediatric Patients With Prone Position : Effect of Repetitive Alveolar Recruitment by Lung Ultrasound

This study evaluates the incidence of postoperative atelectasis after general anesthesia with prone position using lung ultrasound in children age < 3 years.

Read the detailed description

Atelectasis is common in pediatric patients after general anesthesia. Particularly, infants are more likely to develop atelectasis or ventilation-perfusion imbalance after general anesthesia because of the immature ribs and respiratory muscles, the high compliance of the rib cage and a significant reduction in functional residual capacity (FRC) during general anesthesia. Previous studies have reported that alveolar recruitment and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can be used to reduce atelectasis in children. Also, previous studies have shown that the lung ultrasound can be used to evaluate the degree of atelectasis during general anesthesia in children.

However, none of the previous studies investigated the incidence of atelectasis, the effect of alveolar recruitment, and the PEEP in pediatric patients under general anesthesia with prone position. The purpose of this study was to evaluate previously described parameters using lung ultrasound.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Repetitive recruitment with PEEPProcedure or surgery

    Apply sustained airway pressure of 30-40 cmH2O for 10-20 seconds before suegery and once an hour during surgery. PEEP is set to 7 cmH2O.

  • One recruitment with PEEPProcedure or surgery

    Apply sustained airway pressure of 30-40 cmH2O for 10-20 seconds before surgery. PEEP is set to 7 cmH2O.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of pre-extubation atelectasis

    Incidence of pre-extubation atelectasis accessed by lung ultrasound

    Measured: postoperative 10 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence of intraoperative atelectasis after intubation

    Incidence of intraoperative atelectasis after induction accessed by lung ultrasound

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. Incidence of intraoperative atelectasis after position change to prone

    Incidence of intraoperative atelectasis after position change to prone accessed by lung ultrasound

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. Incidence of intraoperative and postoperative (within 12hr) desaturation

    Oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% or 10% below the baseline value

    Measured: intraoperative and postoperative (within 12hr)

  4. Incidence of intraoperative hypotension

    Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≤ 20% below the baseline value

    Measured: intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Repetitive recruitment with PEEP and One recruitment with PEEP in people with Pulmonary Atelectasis, Postoperative and Atelectasis, Compression, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 16 Apr 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 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?

Incidence of pre-extubation atelectasis (time frame: postoperative 10 minutes). 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 NCT03486847, 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 16 Apr 2020.
