Trial summary

Postoperative patients require respiratory management . It is known that the intrapulmonary ventilation distribution becomes uneven due to dorsal atelectasis and ventral hyperinflation during mechanical ventilation management, but the incidence in postoperative patients is unknown.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Ventilation Distribution With Electrical Impedance Tomography in Mechanically Ventilated Patients After Surgery: a Prospective Observational Study

Postoperative patients require respiratory management . It is known that the intrapulmonary ventilation distribution becomes uneven due to dorsal atelectasis and ventral hyperinflation during mechanical ventilation management, but the incidence in postoperative patients is unknown. EIT is a device that can monitor the ventilation distribution in the lungs over time without being exposed to the bedside. Therefore, for patients at risk of postoperative respiratory complications, use EIT to 1) evaluate the pulmonary ventilation distribution during postoperative ventilation management, 2) pulmonary ventilation distribution and postoperative respiratory organs. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship with the severity of complications.

A prospective observational study to investigate the relationship between ventilation distribution and prognosis using EIT in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation after adult surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Association the dorsal fraction of ventilation in EIT and postoperative respiratory complication score

    Dorsal fraction of ventilation(%):The dorsal fraction of ventilation is calculated as the sum of all pixel values in the dorsal half of the EIT image over the sum of all pixel values from the EIT image

    Postoperative pulmonary complications score(0-5):Postoperative pulmonary complications were scored using a grade scale ranging from 0 to 5, with grade zero representing absence of complications, grades 1 to 4 representing increasing (worsening) levels of complications, and grade 5 representing death before hospital discharge.

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Electrical Impedance Tomography, run by Osaka University at 1 site in Japan.

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 0 inclusion and 7 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 25 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 Japan. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Association the dorsal fraction of ventilation in EIT and postoperative respiratory complication score (time frame: up to 12 weeks). 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 25 May 2022.
