A study testing low perfusion state and normal perfusion state in people with Gastrectomy, run by AZ Sint-Jan AV at 1 site in Belgium.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

the excluded stomach during sleeve gastrectomy can be investigated post removal outside the patient. During stapling it is common to reduce systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP) below 100 mmHg to reduce peritoneal perfusion and have better compression. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Low Perfusion by High Intraabdominal Pressure and Low Blood Pressure on Stapling Quality Measured as Thickness Difference Between Staples and Stomach Wall and by Bursting Pressure of Excluded Stomach

the excluded stomach during sleeve gastrectomy can be investigated post removal outside the patient. During stapling it is common to reduce systolic arterial blood pressure (SAP) below 100 mmHg to reduce peritoneal perfusion and have better compression. Higher intra abdominal pressures reduce also the peritoneal and mucosal perfusion and might help to improve stapling compression. Stapling compression can be evaluated by measuring stapling thickness and compare it with stomach wall thickness or by measuring leaks during leak test or better outside the patient on the excised stomach with a bursting pressure.

Read the detailed description

Patients are randomized to two groups: group standard perfusion means that the SAP is kept between 100 and 140 mmHg by adapting depth of anesthesia, by level of post expiratory pressure or by giving vasoconstriction.

low perfusion group means that

  1. systolic blood pressure is kept below 100 mmHg from the first linear staple till the last by using a Clevidipine infusion to regulate the blood pressure accurate just below 100 mmHg for a short time while needed.
  2. goal directed fluid therapy using 100 ml/h fluid intravenous and extra load of fluid if pulse pressure variation > 20 %
  3. increase intra abdominal pressure (IAP) up to 20 mmHg inly during stapling and return to minimum IAP needed to achieve 3 liter workspace.

The resected stomach is removed and analyzed outside the body before throwing away:

What participants receive

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

  • low perfusion stateProcedure or surgery

    reduce SAP below 100 mmHg

  • normal perfusion stateProcedure or surgery

    maintain SAP above 100 mmHg

Study groups in NCT04191564
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
low perfusionExperimentalfluid restriction based on the goal directed fluid therapy is maintained during the whole case and a state of low perfusion is created by reducing the systolic blood pressure below 100 mmHg by vasoactive medications like cleviprex or nicardipine, by increasing positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) and by a very short period of a high IAP of 20 mmHg only during firing.
Receives: Procedure: low perfusion state
normal perfusionExperimentalPerfusion pressure is maintained above 100 mmHg with free fluid loading iv and the lowest IAP possible during the whole procedure.
Receives: Procedure: normal perfusion state

What is being measured

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

  1. staple thickness in mm

    each staple is measured with thickness monitor

    Measured: on excised stomach before being discarded within 1 hour after surgery

  2. stomach thickness in mm close to staple measurement

    with a constant pressure thickness is measured every 10 seconds till 1 minute

    Measured: on excised stomach before being discarded within 1 hour after surgery

  3. bursting pressure in mmHg

    excised stomach is inflated with air under water with increasing pressure that is recorded. At moment of first bubbles intra gastric pressure is recorded

    Measured: on excised stomach before being discarded within 1 hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing low perfusion state and normal perfusion state in people with Gastrectomy, run by AZ Sint-Jan AV at 1 site in Belgium.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 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 Belgium. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jan Paul Mulier, PhD (003259452490, jan.mulier@azsintjan.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

staple thickness in mm (time frame: on excised stomach before being discarded within 1 hour after surgery). The study lists 3 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 9 Dec 2019.
