About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Study of Effect if Lung Protective Ventilation by Reducing Airway Pressure During Laparoscopic Surgery

Carbon dioxide insufflations of abdomen are integral part of laparoscopic operations in minimally invasive surgery era. It does cause splinting effect on diaphragm movement and set it high inside thoracic cavity too. In turn it will be associated with increase in peak and plateau airway pressure during positive pressure ventilation. Inverse ratio ventilation has been shown to improve lung compliance and restrict the peak and plateau airway pressure and should be useful as one of the lung protective ventilation method to improve respiratory outcome in laparoscopy surgery.

Read the detailed description

Anaesthesiologists have been ventilating patients in the perioperative period with relatively large tidal volumes (10-15 ml/kg ideal body weight) to prevent intraoperative atelectasis. Ventilating patient with large tidal volumes may be a risk factor for development of lung injury.During surgical procedures, both general anesthesia and high tidal volumes may strain non injured lungs and trigger inflammation. High tidal volumes that cause alveolar overstretching can contribute to extra pulmonary organ dysfunction through systemic release of inflammatory mediators.

Recently protective lung ventilation strategies has been reported to be useful to reduce the respiratory complications in postoperative period. The use of small tidal volume (Vt), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and restricting peak airway pressure have shown reduced incidence of ventilation induced lung injury.

It has been shown that a small tidal volume (VT) and PEEP can reduce the incidence of postoperative lung dysfunction and improve intraoperative oxygenation. Restricting peak airway pressure can be achieved by inverse ratio ventilation. Minimizing the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), improving oxygenation and alveolar recruitment are all advantages of inverse ratio ventilation. However, the potential utility of pressure controlled inverse ratio ventilation (PCIRV) has not been studied in patients undergoing general anaesthesia.

Investigators hypothesized that in patients with normal lungs scheduled for general anesthesia, PIV might prevent lung function deterioration and lung morphological alterations. Investiagators aim was to compare the intraoperative protective ventilation strategies on oxygenation/ ventilation and postoperative lung dysfunction and lung injury among patients undergoing laparoscopic upper abdominal surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • inverse ratio ventilationOther

    during general anaesthesia in laparoscopic surgeries, this group of patients will receive inverse ratio ventilation with proper observation of hemodynamics

What is being measured

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

  1. change in partial pressure of oxygen from baseline

    Investigators assume that in laparoscopic surgeries inverse ratio ventilation can be used to decrease the airway pressures

    Measured: upto 1 day postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. changes in pulmonary function tests from baseline

    Investigators assume that the pulmonary function tests will be improved as we ventilate with inverse ratio ventilation as a protective lung strategy

    Measured: upto 3 days postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing inverse ratio ventilation in people with Lung Injury, Acute, run by All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

change in partial pressure of oxygen from baseline (time frame: upto 1 day postoperatively). 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 NCT03637530, 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 20 Aug 2018.
