About this study

Official title: Optimization of Respiratory Mechanics During One-lung Ventilation

Intraoperative lung protective ventilatory strategy has been widely recognized to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications in laparotomy and laparoscopic surgeries. However, the clinical evidence and consensus for ventilatory strategy to protect the dependent lung segments during thoracic surgery that requires one-lung ventilation (OLV) is currently not available. Since lung compliance changes significantly during OLV, the levels of respiratory mechanics should be optimized to avoid barotrauma and volutrauma. This study aims to determine the optimal levels of volume-pressure dynamics during OLV and at the phase of recruitment of the independent lungs by achieving optimal lung compliance, gas exchange and hemodynamics.

Read the detailed description

Background One-lung ventilation (OLV) is the foremost used technique of ventilation during thoracic procedures. Intraoperative lung separation can be managed by means of double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT), bronchial blocker (BB), or nonintubated method. OLV is impeded by significant reduction in lung volume, decline in lung compliance at lateral decubital position, formation of intrapulmonary shunting and exposure of the dependent lung to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). In addition, patients receiving thoracic surgeries are more prone to developing acute lung injuries due to direct surgery-related trauma caused by instrumentation or manipulation of the lung tissues, hypoperfusion induced by hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, and dysfunction of surfactant system. The non-dependent lung is injured by surgical manipulation and atelectrauma. Re-expansion of the collapsed non-dependent lung at the end of surgery inevitably results in systemic inflammatory response in the local and contralateral lungs, which in turn leads to biotrauma. Therefore, a significantly high pulmonary complication of up to 14-28.4% was reported in patients that received OLV surgery.

In the recent two decades, there is a major paradigm shift for mechanical ventilator support during operation by the introduction of intraoperative lung protective ventilation strategies. Some of these changes include a low tidal volume (Vt), moderate levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), optimal driving pressure (∆P) and the appropriate use of lung recruitment maneuver. Intraoperative lung protective ventilation strategies have been shown to reduce post-operative pulmonary complications and improve overall clinical outcomes in intermediate and high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Currently, however, there is a lack of clinical evidence in regard to appropriate protective-lung strategies during OLV. The optimal levels of intraoperative use of oxygen fraction, the ventilatory settings for volume and pressure variables during OLV and re-expansion phases for lung recruitment are debating. The main objective of this clinical study is to determine the optimal levels of volume-pressure dynamics during OLV and at the phase of recruitment of the independent lungs by achieving optimal lung compliance, gas exchange and hemodynamics.

  • Optimal lung compliance during OLVProcedure or surgery

    Stepwise increase of tidal volume from 4 ml/kg PBW to 7 ml/kg PBW during OLV to determine the optimal tidal volume at the level the the pressure-volume loop reaches upper refection point where the peak airway pressure at or just below 30 cmH2O

Study groups in NCT04519606
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
One-lung ventilationDuring one-lung ventilation, the dependent lung (non-operation lung) will be mechanically ventilated with a fixed positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 4 cmH2O and the peak pressure below 30 cmH2O. Tidal volumes will be titrated from the initial 4 ml/kg predicted body weight (PBW) to 7 ml/kg PBW. Optimal lung compliance is determined by the levels of upper reflection point of the pressure-volume loop closed to 30 cmH2O. Chest tomography will be undertaken with the optimal tidal volume during OLV phase and when the independent lung is completely recruited using the stepwise PEEP increase method.

What is being measured

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

  1. Optimal level of lung compliance during OLV

    A tidal volume (4-7 ml/kg PBW) where the pressure-volume loop reaches upper refection point and the peak airway pressure at or just below 30 cmH2O

    Measured: During the OLV phase of thoracic surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Postoperative pulmonary complication

    Composite endpoints of clinical diagnoses of pneumonia, bronchospasm, and/or ARDS), radiological diagnoses of atelectasis, pneumothorax, and/or pleural effusion, and therapies for respiratory insufficiency (need for prolonged therapy after end of surgery by providing supplemental oxygen, postoperative noninvasive ventilation, and/or reintubation with postoperative mechanical ventilation.

    Measured: 3 days after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury and Lung Ventilator, run by E-DA Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 11 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 7 Oct 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 Taiwan. 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?

Optimal level of lung compliance during OLV (time frame: During the OLV phase of thoracic 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 7 Oct 2021.
