About this study

Official title: The Comparison of Ventilator-driven Alveolar Maneuver in Laparoscopic Surgery; Tidal Volume Controlled vs Positive End Expiratory Pressure Controlled Cycling Maneuvers; a Randomized Controlled Study

During laparoscopic surgery, gas infiltration and head down position cause pulmonary atelectasis. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers are beneficial in reopening collapsed alveoli and improving lung mechanics. Ventilator-driven Alveolar recruitment maneuvers may restore lung volume but it remains unknown which method is most effective. The primary aim was to compare the efficacy of two ventilator-driven ARMs method using incremental tidal volume or positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP) until plateau pressure 30 cmH20 (within driving pressure 20 cmH20).

Read the detailed description

General anesthesia promotes the formation of atelectasis, which negatively impacts respiratory function and may be associated with subsequent pulmonary complications. Especially, during laparoscopic surgery, gas infiltration and head down position cause pulmonary atelectasis. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers are beneficial in reopening collapsed alveoli and improving lung mechanics, suggesting that performing an Alveolar recruitment maneuvers after intubation, circuit disconnection, position change, intraabdominal gas infiltration.

Conventional manual ARM is performed by sustained lung inflation using the reservoir bag on the anaesthesia machine with the adjustable pressure-limiting valve set to the desired inflation pressure. However, the manual ARM can lead to brief loss of positive pressure when switching back to the ventilator circuit, which results in re-collapse of alveoli. For this reason, investigators try to compare the methods of the ventilator-driven ARM.

What participants receive

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

  • Alveolar recruitment maneuverOther

    The two methods for performing an alveolar recruitment maneuver. Alveolar recruitment maneuvers consisted of a stepwise increase in tidal volume to a plateau pressure of 30 cm H2O versus a stepwise increase in PEEP H2O to a plateau pressure of 30 cm H2O.

Study groups in NCT04258202
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
positive end expiratory pressure groupExperimentalAlveolar recruitment maneuver is performed after intubation, pneumoperitoneum, closure of abdominal fascia. PEEP increased in a stepwise manner from 5 to 20 cmH2O, until plateau pressure 30 cmH2, then 10 breaths. After recruitment, ventilation sets at tidal volume 7 mL/kg with positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5cmH2O.
Receives: Other: Alveolar recruitment maneuver
tidal volume groupExperimentalAlveolar recruitment maneuver is performed after intubation, pneumoperitoneum, closure of abdominal fascia. Tidal volume increased in steps of 4mL/kg of ideal body weight until plateau pressure 30 cmH2O, then 10 breaths. After recruitment, ventilation sets at tidal volume 7 mL/kg with PEEP 5 cmH2O.
Receives: Other: Alveolar recruitment maneuver

What is being measured

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

  1. the change of Atelectasis volume

    electrical impedance tomography monitoring: end-expiratory lung impedance, atelectasis (%)

    Measured: intraoperative time point of intubation, pneumoperitoneum and trendelenberg position, end of surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. the change of lung compliance value

    comparison of lung compliance mL/cmH2O (static compliance=tidal volume/driving pressure) before/after recruitment maneuver

    Measured: intraoperative time point of intubation, pneumoperitoneum and trendelenberg position, end of surgery

  2. the change of arterial blood gas analysis

    comparison of PaO2/fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) mmHg before/after recruitment maneuver

    Measured: intraoperative time point of intubation, pneumoperitoneum and trendelenberg position, end of surgery

  3. the change of driving pressure value

    comparison of driving pressure cmH2O (plateau pressure-positive end expiratory pressure) before/after recruitment maneuver

    Measured: intraoperative time point of intubation, pneumoperitoneum and trendelenberg position, end of surgery

  4. the change of peak pressure value

    comparison peak pressure (cmH2O) before/after recruitment maneuver

    Measured: intraoperative time point of intubation, pneumoperitoneum and trendelenberg position, end of surgery

  5. The difference of atelectasis

    atelectasis score by lung ultrasonography (score range 0~36)

    Measured: at postoperative 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alveolar recruitment maneuver in people with Postoperative Atelectasis and Ventilator Lung, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 10 Nov 2020. 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 South Korea. 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?

the change of Atelectasis volume (time frame: intraoperative time point of intubation, pneumoperitoneum and trendelenberg position, end of 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 10 Nov 2020.
