Trial summary

Invesetigators evaluated the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure during anaesthesia induction on nonhypoxic apnoea time in infants. Invesetigators assigned infants to a 7 cmH2O positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) with fraction of inspired oxygen 80% or 0 cmH2O PEEP with fraction of oxygen 80% group.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Positive End-expiratory Pressure During Induction of General Anesthesia and Non-hypoxic Apnea Time in Infants: a Randomized Controlled Trials

Invesetigators evaluated the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure during anaesthesia induction on nonhypoxic apnoea time in infants. Invesetigators assigned infants to a 7 cmH2O positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) with fraction of inspired oxygen 80% or 0 cmH2O PEEP with fraction of oxygen 80% group. Anaesthesia was induced with 0.02 mg kg atropine, 5 mg kg thiopental sodium and 3 to 5% sevoflurane, and neuromuscular blockade with 0.6 mg kg rocuronium. Thereafter, 80% oxygen was provided via face mask with volume-controlled ventilation of 6 ml kg tidal volume, and either 7 cmH2O or no positive end-expiratory pressure. After 3 min of ventilation, the infants' trachea was intubated but disconnected from the breathing circuit, and ventilation resumed when pulse oximetry reached 95%.

What is being measured

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

  1. apnea time

    The primary outcome was nonhypoxic apnoea time defined as the time from cessation of ventilation to a pulse oximeter reading of 95%

    Measured: during face mask ventilation, maximum 3 minutes.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. atelectasis score (0~72)

    atelectasis score assessed by lung ultrasound (0-72)

    Measured: during anesthesia induction, maximum 5 minutes.

  2. Number of participants with gastric air insufflation

    presence of air in the gastric antrum

    Measured: during anesthesia induction, maximum 5 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing positive end expiratory pressure and fraction of inspired oxygen 80% in people with Apnea, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 1 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 Nov 2023. 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?

apnea time (time frame: during face mask ventilation, maximum 3 minutes.). 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 Nov 2023.
