Trial summary

Atelectasis occurs in patients of all ages who receive mechanical ventilation under general anesthesia, and although fatal cases are rare, it is known as a cause of postoperative hypoxia or fever. Read more about this study

About this study

Atelectasis occurs in patients of all ages who receive mechanical ventilation under general anesthesia, and although fatal cases are rare, it is known as a cause of postoperative hypoxia or fever. In pediatric patients, it has a particularly high incidence of 68-100%, and the incidence is inversely proportional to age. Pediatric patients,compared to adults, have a small capacity for functional residual capacity while a high metabolic demand, making them fundamentally vulnerable to hypoxia. Increased atelectasis during anesthesia causes hypoxia not only during anesthesia but also during recovery after anesthesia. Therefore, it is important to establish and apply a strategy to minimize the occurrence of atelectasis during mechanical ventilation under general anesthesia in pediatric patients. The aim of this study is to investigate whether pressure support ventilation at emergence period could reduce the incidence of postoperative atelectasis in infants undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.

conventional ventilation, group C, pressure support, group PS

What participants receive

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

  • conventional ventilation, group COther

    In the conventional ventilation group, after stopping the administration of the inhalation gas, the emergence process is performed by the anesthesiologist assigned to the room. Basically, until spontaneous respiration of the patient is restored, an anesthesiologist can assist respiration by intermittent manual assistance if necessary.

  • pressure support, group PSOther

    In the pressure support group, after stopping the administration of the inhalation gas, switch to the pressure support mode at the emergence period. PEEP 5cmH20 is applied, and the safety backup ventilation rate is set to 12 breaths/min. The flow trigger is set to 1L/min, and the degree of support is made to be 7-8ml of the predicted body weight, and is decreased as the patient's spontaneous breathing is restored.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of atelectasis

    Immediately after arriving at the recovery room, lung ultrasound is performed to check for atelectasis.

    Measured: Within 5 minutes of arriving at the recovery room

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Frequency of atelectasis

    After 30 minutes of staying in the recovery room, lung ultrasound was performed to check for atelectasis.

    Measured: After 30 minutes of stay in the recovery room

  2. scoring of atelectasis

    Perform atelectasis scoring on 12 parts of the lung

    Measured: at the time of admission and after 30 minutes of stay in the recovery room

  3. Frequency of desatuation

    Check the frequency of desaturation (<95%) during the stay in the recovery room.

    Measured: at the time of admission and after 30 minutes of stay in the recovery room

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing conventional ventilation, group C and pressure support, group PS in people with Infants Aged 0 Days to 13 Months Scheduled for Elective Surgery, run by Yonsei University 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 2 inclusion and 4 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 13 May 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jeong-Rim Lee (82-2-2224-4135, manya@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of atelectasis (time frame: Within 5 minutes of arriving at the recovery room). 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 13 May 2022.
