About this study

Official title: Effect of Recruitment Maneuvers Plus Optimal PEEP Versus Optimal PEEP Alone on Ventilation Perfusion Mismatch and Respiratory Mechanics in One Lung Ventilation. A Randomized Trial

The intraoperative driving pressure (∆P) has been recently identified as the greater independent predictor of postoperative pulmonary complications after one lung ventilation (OLV). The application of a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) level of 5 or 10 cmH2O has been shown to reduce the ∆P and the V/Q mismatch (Spadaro 2017); however, the "optimal" PEEP level able to minimize the ∆P may change significantly across patients. The aim of this study is to describe the optimal PEEP levels in patients undergoing thoracic surgery

Being tested
Recruitment manoeuvers, incremental PEEP

What participants receive

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

  • Recruitment manoeuversProcedure or surgery

    Recruitment manoeuvers will be performed as follow Recruitment manoeuvers

    1. set FIO2 at 1.0
    2. Ppeak limit at 45 cmH2O
    3. Respiratory rate set at 6
    4. I:E set at 1:1
    5. Raise the VT at step of 2 ml/kg PBW until the Pplat is between 30-40 cmH2O
    6. If the maximum VT is set without rasing the Pplat, raise PEEP
    7. Allow three respiratory cycles with Pplat between 30 and 40 cmH2O
    8. End of RM

    The recruitment manouvers will be performed after 20 minutes of OLV. At the end of the RM, the VT will be set back to 5 ml/kg while the PEEP will be chosen according to the best static compliance with a decremental trial (from 16 cmH2O, lowering PEEP with steps of 2 cmH2O each until the best compliance is reached).

  • incremental PEEPProcedure or surgery

    In this group the a PEEP level will be added after 20 minutes from OLV. PEEP values will be chosen according to the best static compliance with an incremental trial (i.e. starting from ZEEP, the PEEP values will be increased in step of 2 cmH2O each until the best compliance is reached

What is being measured

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

  1. pulmonary shunt, expressed as percentage, measured by ALPE system

    Measured: 20 minutes after intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. intraoperative driving pressure, measured as plateau pressure - PEEP

    Measured: 20 minutes after intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Recruitment manoeuvers and incremental PEEP in people with Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by Università degli Studi di Ferrara 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 1 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 31 Jan 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 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?

pulmonary shunt, expressed as percentage, measured by ALPE system (time frame: 20 minutes after intervention). 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 NCT03635281, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 Jan 2019.
