About this study

Official title: the Use of Intraoperative Bedside Lung Ultrasound in Optimizing "Positive End Expiratory Pressure"PEEP in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgeries

Lung ultrasound imaging is a promising non-invasive, non-radiant, portable and easy to use tool that as yet to be studied in the intraoperative setting.

in our current study, we are trying to reach the optimum PEEP in laparoscopic bariatric patients to prevent postoperative collapse and atlectasis with simple non-invasive procedure.

Being tested
stepwise PEEP
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Atelectasis

What participants receive

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

  • stepwise PEEPDevice

    • a PEEP of 4 cmH2O will be used after intubation till 5 minutes after pneumoperitonium, and adjusted in a step wise approach after lung ultrasound by adding 2 cmH2O, repeating ultrasound 5 minutes after every change in peep till no lung collapse is detected by lung ultrasound with a maximal peep of 10 cmH2O, or if hemodynamic instability occurs.
    • Lung ultrasound examination will be performed at a minimum three times in each patient; the first will be performed 1 min after starting mechanical ventilation of the lungs, 5 minutes after pneumoperitonium, 5 min after every peep increase in stepwise peep group and the last time at the end of the surgery.

    We define anaesthesia-induced atelectasis to be significant if any region has a consolidation score of ≥ 2.

Study groups in NCT04269564
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
group ANo interventionGroup A patients received the standard ventilation protocol as follows: volume-controlled ventilation mode, with VT 6 ml/kg of ideal body weight, inspiratory : expiratory ratio 1 : 2, a PEEP of 4 cmH2O, and respiratory rate 10-12 breaths/min that will be adjusted to keep end-tidal carbon dioxide tension (EtCO2) between 35 and 40 mmHg and inspired oxygen fraction of 0.5.
group BActive comparatorPatients in group B received the standard ventilation protocol with stepwise peep until end of surgery and extubation.
Receives: Device: stepwise PEEP

What is being measured

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

  1. efficacy of lung ultrasound in optimizing peep

    to evaluate the effect of lung ultrasound in optimizing peep in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries on the Incidence of intraoperative hypoxia and atlectasis

    Measured: intraoperative and early postoperative first 24 hours after recovery from anaesthesia

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. effect on early postoperative oxygenation

    Evaluating the effect of stepwise PEEP approach on the incidence of early postoperative in the first 24 hours atelectasis and oxygenation.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing stepwise PEEP in people with Atelectasis, Postoperative Pulmonary, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 20 Aug 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 Egypt. 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?

efficacy of lung ultrasound in optimizing peep (time frame: intraoperative and early postoperative first 24 hours after recovery from anaesthesia). 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 NCT04269564, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 20 Aug 2020.
