About this study

Official title: Lung Ultrasonography for the Assessment of Perioperative Atelectasis After Laparoscopic Gynecologic Oncologic Surgery

This study evaluates the influence of surgical and anesthesia-related variable on atelectasis formation during laparoscopic gynecologic oncologic surgery by lung ultrasound.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 50% of patients undergoing general anesthesia are hypoxemic. Anaesthesia, paralysis, high concentrations of oxygen, inadequate level of PEEP, capnoperitoneum, Trendelenburg position all result in persistent atelectasis. Lung ultrasound is a safe and accurate bedside tool useful to study lung aeration. The aim of the investigator's study was to assess the impact of general anesthesia and laparoscopic gynecologic oncologic surgery on post-operative atelectasis and related oxygenation changes using lung ultrasound.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess if LUS score measured after surgery is higher that LUS score measured before induction of anesthesia

    Each lung will be divided in 6 areas and a score from 0 to 3 will be assigned to each field depending on the loss of aereation detected by ultrasound. LUS score will range between 0 and 36. Lung ultrasound will be performed before induction of anesthesia and 10 minutes after extubation.

    Measured: The outcome will be measured 10 minutes after extubation

  2. Correlation between the increase of LUS score after surgery and surgical or anesthesia-related variables.

    Logistic regression will be applied to consider the correlation between Delta LUS and the following variables:

    • lenght of surgery
    • duration of pneumoperitoneum
    • angle of Trendelenburg potision
    • duration of mechanical ventilation
    • intraoperative fluids
    • duration of apnea from induction to intubation

    Measured: The outcome will be measured 10 minutes after extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Atelectasis, run by SONNINO CHIARA at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 1 Nov 2021. 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 Italy. 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?

Assess if LUS score measured after surgery is higher that LUS score measured before induction of anesthesia (time frame: The outcome will be measured 10 minutes after extubation). 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 1 Nov 2021.
