Trial summary

Study aims to prospectively evaluate if the pressures normally applied during mechanical ventilation in laparoscopic surgery induce stress on the pulmonary wall. To do this is used measure the variation of esophageal pressure, as indirect index of the pleural pressure and therefore of the transpulmonary pressure, in… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Transpulmonary Pressure Under Conditions of Increased Intra-abdominal Pressure From Pneumoperitoneum and Steep Trendelenburg

Study aims to prospectively evaluate if the pressures normally applied during mechanical ventilation in laparoscopic surgery induce stress on the pulmonary wall. To do this is used measure the variation of esophageal pressure, as indirect index of the pleural pressure and therefore of the transpulmonary pressure, in response to changes in airway pressures in a group of patients undergoing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy or videolaparoscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury, run by Regina Elena Cancer Institute at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ester Forastiere, chief (ester.forastiere@ifo.gov.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of postoperative acute complications (time frame: 24 hours). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03746236, which also lists 1 linked publication.
