Trial summary

The primary objective of our study will be verify a possible improvement in arterial oxygenation in the obese patient undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy if the ventilation will be guided by electrical impedance tomography rather than peripheral saturation alone.

About this study

Official title: Optimization of Intraoperative Ventilation Guided by Electrical Impedance Tomography in Combination With Oxygen Saturation by Pulse Oximetry (SpO2) Versus SpO2 Alone in Obese Patients Undergoing Robotic Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: Prospective Randomized Trial

The primary objective of our study will be verify a possible improvement in arterial oxygenation in the obese patient undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy if the ventilation will be guided by electrical impedance tomography rather than peripheral saturation alone.

What participants receive

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

  • Electrical Impedance TomographyDevice

    In 27 patients ventilation will be guided with an Electrical Impedance Tomography system

  • Peripheral arterial SaturationDevice

    The ventilation of 27 patients will be guided by Peripheral arterial Saturation alone

What is being measured

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

  1. The arterial oxygen pressure / fraction of inspired oxygen (pO2 /FiO2) ratio

    The primary outcome will be the ratio of arterial oxygen pressure and the fraction of inspired oxygen (pO2 / FiO2 ratio) at the end of the intervention, detected by blood gas analysis.

    Measured: 16 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Electrical Impedance Tomography and Peripheral arterial Saturation in people with Obese, run by Regina Elena Cancer Institute at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Feb 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ester Forastiere, MD (+390652662995, forastiere@ifo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The arterial oxygen pressure / fraction of inspired oxygen (pO2 /FiO2) ratio (time frame: 16 months). 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 16 Feb 2021.
