About this study

Official title: Effect of Lung-protective Ventilation During Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Radical Cystectomy on Postoperative Pulmonary Complication

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) increases the incidence of postoperative complications. We conducted a study to determine the effect of lung-protective ventilation strategy.

Read the detailed description

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy (RARC) performed with patient in the steep Trendelenburg position under pneumoperitoneum increases the incidence of postoperative complications. Approach termed lung-protective ventilation (LPV) strategy which refers to the use of low tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) may lead to a reduction in inflammation and prevent the occurrence of atelectasis. Computed tomography (CT) requiring transportation is the golden standard for measuring atelectasis, which is not suitable for perioperative observation. Lung ultrasound (LUS) which is noninvasive and easily repeatable at the bedside appears to be an accurate diagnostic tool for early detection of atelectasis. Thus, we conducted the trial to determine whether an LPV strategy has benefits in patients scheduled for RARC through a multifaceted method. We hypothesized that the use of prophylactic low tidal volume and PEEP would decrease postoperative inflammation and atelectasis, thereby, improve outcomes, as compared with the standard of nonprotective mechanical ventilation.

What participants receive

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

  • lung protective ventilation strategyProcedure or surgery

    low tidal volumes and positive end-expiratory pressure mechanical ventilation during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy for bladder cancer

  • nonprotective ventilationProcedure or surgery

    large tidal volume and zero PEEP mechanical ventilation during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy for bladder cancer

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lung protective ventilation strategy and nonprotective ventilation in people with Lung-protective Ventilation, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 27 Mar 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 China. 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?

occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) (time frame: during the first 90 days after surgery). 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 27 Mar 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
