About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence in Defining Lung Ultrasound Findings in Anesthesia Management of Preeclampsia

A total of eight quadrants of standard lung US examination was performed to all pregnant women with preeclampsia within the scope of the study by the same anesthesiologist, dividing each hemithorax into four regions through the parasternal, anterior axillary, posterior axillary vertical lines, and the horizontal line assumed to pass under the nipple. The resulting images were stored in digital media. A Lung US examination was performed once for an average of 5-10 minutes. The presence of B lines was investigated in the examination.

The case was defined as interstitial edema when the B lines, which are defined as vertical linear hyperechoic reverberation artifacts representing the edematous interlobular septa/alveoli, extend posteriorly from below the pleural line and moving in sync with lung movements, are found in two or more lung areas. B-lines were determined for each case and reported in standard form in terms of number and morphology. The diagnostic accuracy of B lines was determined with the artificial intelligence supported SmartAlpha Rievi 1300 software program. B-lines validated by artificial intelligence assisted algorithm in all stored digital images were reported blindly by another anesthesiologist experienced in lung US. The clinical features, laboratory parameters, and intraoperative hemodynamic data of the cases were recorded to be evaluated in terms of relationship with lung US data.

We predict that the application of lung US with artificial intelligence software will provide an opportunity to quickly evaluate the clinic of preeclamptic pregnant women who are frequently operated on in emergency conditions.

Read the detailed description

After ethics committee approval, standard lung ultrasound (US) examination in eight quadrants was performed to search presence of B lines in 35 ASA III-IV parturients with preeclampsia by the same anesthesiologist. Interstitial edema was defined by recognition of the B lines in two or more lung regions. The digital images of B-lines verified with artificial intelligence (AI) were evaluated blindly by another anesthesiologist experienced in lung US.

After assigning preeclamptic patients as mild or severe; demographic, hemodynamic and labarotary results were compared. Then, lung US findings (A pattern, 3 B lines and 1 or 2 B lines) were documented. Additionally, amount of protein / 24 hr, amount of fluid infusion (crystalloid or colloid) and hemodynamic parameters acording to lung US findings were compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. For comparison, artificial intelligence assisted ultrasound and standard ultrasound in the follow-up of 35 preeclamptic parturients will be performed.

    If present, pulmonary edema will be diagnosed by visualising 3 B lines at least 2 or more regions

    Measured: Lung ultrasound application once in the preoperative period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Preeclampsia and Lung Edema, run by Gazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Aug 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

For comparison, artificial intelligence assisted ultrasound and standard ultrasound in the follow-up of 35 preeclamptic parturients will be performed. (time frame: Lung ultrasound application once in the preoperative period). 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 10 Aug 2022.
