About this study

Official title: Effect of Positive End-expiratory Pressure on Functional Residual Capacity Measured by Volumetric Capnography in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

Changes in body position during anesthesia can alter functional residual capacity and gas exchange. The monitoring of such changes in functional residual capacity is difficult at the bedside. The present study was designed to determine if volumetric capnography can detect changes in the functional residual capacity during surgery.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective and observational study designed to test the reliability of the capnodynamic equation to determine changes in functional residual capacity measured during anesthesia. The investigators will studied 40 mechanically ventilated patients undergoing general anesthesia. Functional residual capacity will be continuously measured in a non invasive way using expired carbon dioxide. Changes in functional residual capacity with standard modification in body positioning (Trendelenburg or anti-Trendelenburg position) and ventilatory settings wiil be tested.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Physiological Phenomena, run by Hospital Privado de Comunidad de Mar del Plata at 1 site in Argentina.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 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 Argentina. 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?

Functional Residual Capacity Measured by Capnography in Ventilated Patients (time frame: 6 hours). 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 NCT03693352, 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 14 Jul 2020.
