About this study

The investigators assess the changes in respiratory compliance according to different levels of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in children under general anesthesia. In addition, the investigators evaluate the intratidal compliance-volume profile at each PEEP level and determine the optimal PEEP level during anesthesia.

What participants receive

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

  • Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)Procedure or surgery

    The different levels of PEEP, 5 cmH2O, 8 cmH2O and 12 cmH2O, are applied serially. Mean respiratory compliance and intratidal compliance-volume profile are evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean respiratory compliance

    Mean static and dynamic compliance

    Measured: During 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Compliance profile

    We will determine Intratidal compliance-volume profile using the changes in compliance over time

    --> I, merely increasing compliance profile; IH, increasing turning into horizontal compliance profile; D, merely decreasing compliance profile; HD, horizontal turning into decreasing compliance profile; IHD, increasing turning into horizontal and further turning into decreasing compliance profile

    If compliance profile is I, the PEEP is low. On the other hand, compliance profile is D, PEEP level is considered to be high.

    Measured: During 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP

  2. Airway resistance

    Mean airway resistance

    Measured: During 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in people with Lung Compliance, 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 2 inclusion and 5 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 25 Mar 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?

Mean respiratory compliance (time frame: During 15 minutes after applying each level of PEEP). 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 NCT03533296, 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 25 Mar 2020.
