About this study

The purpose of the current study is to prospectively evaluate the usefulness of thoracic ultrasonography in demonstrating effective lung isolation during single-lung ventilation (SLV) in the pediatric patient. The primary hypothesis is that ultrasonography will accurately verify lung separation during SLV, as compared to fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB).

What is being measured

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

  1. The Accuracy of Using Ultrasound to Assess Lung Isolation by Visualizing Lung Movement or Lack Thereof of Both the Operative and Non-operative Lung Fields.

    Ultrasound will be used to look for lung sliding in the ventilated lung field and lack of lung sliding and presence of lung pulse on the operative/isolated lung field. The effectiveness of this modality will also be compared to the lung auscultation for assessing lung isolation, which along with FOB is the current accepted standards of care.

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of intubation and single lung ventilation device placement

  2. Time to Confirm Lung Isolation

    Compare the time required to confirm lung isolation using auscultation, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), and ultrasound.

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of intubation and single lung ventilation device placement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Portable, Point-of-Care Ultrasound in people with Thoracic Diseases, run by Nationwide Children's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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 Dec 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Dec 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

The Accuracy of Using Ultrasound to Assess Lung Isolation by Visualizing Lung Movement or Lack Thereof of Both the Operative and Non-operative Lung Fields. (time frame: Within 5 minutes of intubation and single lung ventilation device placement). 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?
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 Dec 2024.
