About this study

Official title: Open Lung Approach Versus Conventional Protective Ventilation in Obese Patients Undergoing Open Abdominal Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial

the purpose of this study is to compare open lung approach versus conventional protective ventilation in obese patients undergoing open abdominal surgery

Read the detailed description

after being informed about the study and potential risks. All patients giving written consent will be randomized by double blind manner into 2 groups each one containing 24 patients Group SPV: will be ventilated using volume controlled ventilation (7ml/kg tidal volume) with addition of 5 cm H₂O fixed PEEP till the end of the surgery .

Group OLA: The patients will undergo ARM followed by personalized PEEP.

Being tested
ARM, spontanous ventilation
Keywords
Open lung approach, conventional ventilation

What participants receive

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

  • ARMOther

    Also called followed by personalized PEEP.

    The ARM is performed by setting the peak inspiratory pressure to 45 cmH₂O then changing the mode of ventilation to pressure controlled ventilation (PCV) with the inspiratory pressure set to give a tidal volume equal to that given during VCV, I:E ratio of 1:1 and a PEEP of 5 cmH₂O. The PEEP level is then increased in 5 cmH₂O steps every minute till it reaches 20 cmH₂O and inspiratory pressure is increased to get an airway opening pressure (inspiratory pressure + PEEP) of 40 cmH₂O which is maintained for one minute after which the ventilation returned to the original setting except for the PEEP level which is kept at 20 cmH₂O.

    The titration of individualized PEEP is done by decremental reduction of the 20 cmH₂O PEEP level in 2 cmH₂O steps every 2 minutes and measuring static compliance of the respiratory system (CRS) at each step.

What is being measured

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

  1. post-operative pulmonary complications

    Pulmonary function tests will be done before surgery as a baseline then repeated after the surgery when the patient is fully awake using bedside spirometer in the sitting position.

    Measured: one week postoperative

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. heart rate

    hemodynamic changes

    Measured: Baseline (before surgery) and intraoperative

  2. airway pressure

    During mechanical ventilation airway pressures will be continuously monitored.

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. pulmonary complications.

    1. Postoperative pulmonary complications which are defined as having one or more of the following: 1.Pneumonia 2. Respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (Postoperative PaO2 < 60 mm Hg on room air, a PaO2:FiO2 ratio < 300 mm Hg) or peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO₂) <90% and requiring oxygen therapy ). 3. Atelectasis requiring bronchoscopic intervention 4. Pulmonary edema ( postoperative acute lung injury or ARDS). 5. Delayed tracheal extubation ( >24 hours postoperatively) or need for reintubation (because of respiratory distress, hypoxia, hypercarbia, or respiratory acidosis). 6. Pneumothorax 7. Bronchospasm (Newly detected refractory expiratory wheeze requiring bronchodilators

    Measured: one week postoperative

  4. length of hospital stay,

    the length of hospital stay, and 30 days mortality.

    Measured: postoperative up to one month

  5. mean arterial blood pressure

    hemodynamic changes

    Measured: Baseline (before surgery) and intraoperative

  6. ETCO2

    hemodynamic changes

    Measured: Baseline (before surgery) and intraoperative

  7. tidal volume

    During mechanical ventilation tidal volume will be continuously monitored.

    Measured: intraoperative

  8. SpO2

    hemodynamic changes

    Measured: Baseline (before surgery) and intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ARM and spontanous ventilation in people with Abdominal Surgery and Obese Patients, run by Zagazig 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 24 May 2022. 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?

post-operative pulmonary complications (time frame: one week postoperative). 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 24 May 2022.
