About this study

Official title: Recovery of Ventilation After General Anesthesia for Robotic-assisted Laparoscopic Nephrectomy: The Effect of Conservative Versus Liberal Oxygen Supplementation - A Feasibility Study

The purpose of this randomized, controlled feasibility investigation is to characterize pharmacologically induced ventilatory depression after anesthesia and examine how is affected by the amount of supplemental oxygen patients are receiving in the immediate postoperative period.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is characterize pharmacologically induced ventilatory depression after anesthesia and examine how is affected by the amount of supplemental oxygen patients are receiving in the immediate postoperative period, since hyperoxemia (ie., higher than necessary partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood) has been associated with ventilatory depression via suppression of the hypoxic ventilatory drive.

In this feasibility randomized controlled trial, the investigators plan to estimate and compare the cumulative segment of time during which the transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide will exceed an upper limit of 45 mmHg (i.e., TcPCO2 > 45 mmHg) for the 90-min-long post-anesthesia period, between the conventional (titrated to an oxygen saturation > 96%) and the conservative (titrated to O2 saturation 90 -94%) O2 supplementation interventions.

Hypothesis: Conservative use of O2 (titrated to an SpO2: 90 - 94%), will be associated with less hypoventilation (i.e., less time spent with an TcPCO2 > 45 mmHg) during recovery from general anesthesia, compared to liberal O2 supplementation (SpO2 > 96%).

What participants receive

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

  • Oxygen gas -ConservativeOther

    Oxygen administration will titrated to a oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) between 90% and 94%.

  • Oxygen gas -LiberalOther

    Oxygen administration will titrated to a oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2) higher than 96%.

What is being measured

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

  1. Transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (TcPCO2)

    The cumulative segment of time during which the transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (TcPCO2: primary outcome) will exceed an upper limit of 45 mmHg (i.e., TcPCO2 > 45 mmHg)

    Measured: Ninety -minute period immediately post-anesthesia.

Model description
In the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), participants will be randomized to receive conservative (titrated to an SpO2 between 90 and 94%) versus liberal (titrated to SpO2 \> 96%) oxygen supplementation, via a non-rebreather mask.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oxygen gas -Conservative and Oxygen gas -Liberal in people with Ventilatory Depression and Postoperative Respiratory Complication, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

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 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 14 Sep 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 United States. 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?

Transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (TcPCO2) (time frame: Ninety -minute period immediately post-anesthesia.). 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 NCT04723433, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Sep 2021.
