About this study

The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in children under general anesthesia and to investigate whether there is a difference between the supine and prone positions.

Being tested
Exploration of optimal PEEP in supine and prone position

What participants receive

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

  • Exploration of optimal PEEP in supine and prone positionOther

    1. General anesthesia is done in routine manner
    2. A sensor for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is applied around the patient's chest.
    3. In supine position, lung recruitment maneuver is done, followed by decremental PEEP trial. Based on EIT parameter, optimal PEEP which induces minimal overdistension and collapse of lungs is determined.
    4. One hour after prone position, optimal PEEP is determined again.

What is being measured

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

  1. Optimal PEEP level at spine position

    Optimal PEEP level (cmH2O) determination using electrical impedance tomography at supine position

    Measured: 10 minutes after intubation (supine)

  2. Optimal PEEP level at prone position

    Optimal PEEP level (cmH2O) determination using electrical impedance tomography at prone position

    Measured: 1 hour after prone positioning (prone)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Dynamic compliance measured using Electrical impedance tomography

    ventilation/pressure (ml/cmH2O)

    Measured: until 1 hour after prone positioning

  2. regional ventilation delay measured using Electrical impedance tomography

    ventilation time delay during one breath (no unit)

    Measured: until 1 hour after prone positioning

  3. pulmonary opening pressure measured using Electrical impedance tomography

    alveoli opening pressure (cmH2O)

    Measured: until 1 hour after prone positioning

  4. atelectasis/overdistension ratio measured using Electrical impedance tomography

    The degree comparing atelectasis and overdistension (no unit)

    Measured: until 1 hour after prone positioning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exploration of optimal PEEP in supine and prone position in people with General Anesthesia, 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 6 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 20 Jan 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?

Optimal PEEP level at spine position (time frame: 10 minutes after intubation (supine)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Jan 2023.
