Trial summary

Background: The list of studies with inconsistent data regarding the effect of intra-operative ventilatory management on post-operative lung injury is large. The literature is lacking data on the least injurious way of ventilating surgical patients intra-operatively. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Observational Study of Intra-operative Ventilatory Management & Post-operative Pulmonary Complications

Background: The list of studies with inconsistent data regarding the effect of intra-operative ventilatory management on post-operative lung injury is large. The literature is lacking data on the least injurious way of ventilating surgical patients intra-operatively. This study is necessary to support future guidelines on the practice of intra-operative mechanical ventilation.

Specific Aim: The aims of this study is first to describe intra-operative ventilatory practices at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC), (with particular focus on the mode of ventilation, tidal volume per body weight and PEEP settings) and second, to identify the post-operative complications that could be associated with particular settings.

Methodology: This is a prospective observational study that will be conducted in the operating room at AUBMC, on patients being admitted for surgeries under general anesthesia. During the patient's stay in the hospital, targeted process (patient characteristics, surgical procedure, mechanical ventilation management, anesthesiologist characteristics) and outcomes parameters (postoperative pulmonary complications) will be collected for analysis. Patients will be monitored and followed up with intraoperatively and postoperatively.

Analysis: Different parameters and outcomes will be collected and by subgrouping the patients per their medical history statistical significance will be tested to reach a correlative analysis to the outcomes documented. Statistical comparison will be made using the ANOVA, Student's t-test, and Chi-squared test. Level of statistical significance will be considered at p<0.05. Mean age, weight, height and BMI of participants in the different groups will be calculated. ANOVA test will be performed to test statistical significance to compare the different means between different subgroups. A two sided P value of less than 0.05 was considered to be significant Significance: The literature is lacking data on the least injurious way of ventilating surgical patients intra-operatively. This study is necessary to support future guidelines on the practice of intra-operative mechanical ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intra-Operative Ventilatory Management and Post-Operative Complications, run by American University of Beirut Medical Center at 2 sites in Lebanon.

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 4 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 12 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Lebanon. 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?

Intra-operative surgical procedures (time frame: 2 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03551899, 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 12 Apr 2022.
