About this study

Official title: Anesthesiological Management of Ventilation With Laryngeal Mask in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Endoscopic Ultrasound Procedures

Diagnostic and operative procedures of upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract are very common in all patients. Some procedures are difficult to tolerate because of long duration, prone position or significant stimulation of the upper airways. An example are endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic pancreatic ultrasound.

The procedures are generally performed with deep sedation. Many pharmacologic regimens are available and described in literature. The investigator's institute adopts propofol target controlled infusion (TCI), which usually guarantees unconsciousness and unresponsiveness of patients. The main adverse event is dose-related respiratory depression. Pre-existing reasons for hypoventilation can exacerbate this event, especially in the elderly and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-patients. Laryngeal mask (LMA) is a useful tool to apply a pressure support ventilation. One specific type of LMA allows to separate the gastric and respiratory tract and, allows the anesthesiologist to support patient's ventilation as (and only if) necessary.

Read the detailed description

This is a monocentric randomized controlled trial of superiority of LMA use in GI endoscopic procedures. Randomization is centralized. The study is single blind (patient). The study is no-profit. Every patients undergoing scheduled ERCP and endoscopic ultrasound will be screened and consecutive eligible patients will be enrolled. Subjects will be allocated according to a simple randomization list. The study starts after randomization and ends after discharge from the recovery room. After peripheral venous catheter insertion and vital parameters monitoring, patients will receive propofol TCI with a tailored target between 4 and 6 mcg/ml. The treatment group will receive LMA insertion and End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring throughout the procedure. In case of hypoventilation, with an ETCO2 above 50 mmHg, the patient will be supported as necessary with PSV. The control group will not receive any airway device, according to the standard treatment. At the end of the procedure, both group will receive a laboratory testing (peripheral arterial sample), when the patient is still sedated. Vital parameters monitoring will continue in recovery room. Patients will be discharge as usual with an Aldrete score > 9.

Data will be collected during the procedure and in recovery room. Data will be stored in electronic database without mention to patient's name.

Being tested
Sedation with Gastro Cuff Pilot Laryngeal Mask, Propofol

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2)

    PaCO2 level assessed by arterial sample

    Measured: Just before patient awakening (approximately 90-120 min after induction of anesthesia)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of pressure support ventilation in treatment group

    Number needing pressure support ventilation (PSV) in the treatment group. A PSV will be performed in case of End-Tidal carbon dioxide level raising above 50 mmHg.

    Measured: During the procedure

  2. pH

    pH assessed by arterial sample

    Measured: Just before patient awakening (approximately 90-120 min after induction of anesthesia)

  3. Partial Pressure of Oxygen (PaO2)

    PaO2 level assessed by arterial sample

    Measured: Just before patient awakening (approximately 90-120 min after induction of anesthesia)

  4. Time to recover after the procedure

    Time needed to recover: from arrival in recovery room to a Aldrete Score > 9

    Measured: During recovery room stay (approximately 15-45 min after patient awakening)

  5. Satisfaction of the procedure operator

    Satisfaction of the operator assessed by a Likert 5 points-scale: 1 "Strongly disagree"; 2 "Disagree"; 3 " Neutral/Neither agree nor disagree"; 4 "Agree"; 5 "Strongly agree"

    Measured: 1 minute after patient awakening

  6. Satisfaction of the patient

    Satisfaction of the patient assessed by a Likert 5 points-scale: 1 "Strongly disagree"; 2 "Disagree"; 3 " Neutral/Neither agree nor disagree"; 4 "Agree"; 5 "Strongly agree"

    Measured: 20 minutes after patient awakening

  7. Number of completed endoscopic procedures

    Number of completed endoscopic procedures without necessity to change anesthesiological treatment or postpone the procedure for any reason

    Measured: During the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sedation with Gastro Cuff Pilot Laryngeal Mask and Propofol in people with Anesthesia and Airway Device, run by Ospedale San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Apr 2019. 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 Italy. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Technical problem with device in study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2) (time frame: Just before patient awakening (approximately 90-120 min after induction of anesthesia)). 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 16 Apr 2019.
