Trial summary

Postoperative pulmonary complications are important factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing surgery. Studies have shown that patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery, emergency surgery, or prolonged surgery are more likely to develop PPCs, especially when robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Incidence and Risk Factors of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications in Elderly Patients Undergoing Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Pelvic Surgery: a Single Center, Prospective, Observational Study

Postoperative pulmonary complications are important factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing surgery. Studies have shown that patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery, emergency surgery, or prolonged surgery are more likely to develop PPCs, especially when robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery is performed at extreme head low. The incidence of PPCs and associated risk factors in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery compared with those undergoing conventional surgery should be re-examined.

Read the detailed description

PPCs include bronchospasm, atelectasis, lung infections (bronchitis and pneumonia), exacerbation of pre-existing chronic lung disease, the need for mechanical ventilation after surgery, and respiratory failure. Risk factors for PPCs include preoperative and intraoperative factors. Preoperative was mainly related to the primary status of patients, including age, weight, ASA grade, organ function status, medication history, hypoproteinemia, and concomitant chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, COPD, asthma, pulmonary interstitial disease, pulmonary hypertension, and OSA. In this study, elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic pelvic surgery under general anesthesia were selected to prospectively collect basic characteristics, preoperative examination results and perioperative data, and determine the incidence and risk factors of PPCs in this high-risk population cohort. The aim of our study was to determine the incidence of PPCs in elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic pelvic surgery and to screen for associated risk factors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of PPCs

    One or more of the following conditions occurred: clinically diagnosed PPCs (pneumonia, bronchospasm, ARDS), radiographically diagnosed PPCs (atelectasis, pneumothorax, pleural effusion), postoperative respiratory insufficiency (requiring oxygen or non-invasive mechanical ventilation for more than 1 day), and postoperative tracheal intubation again;Respiratory infections: new or altered sputum properties, new or altered lung shadows, fever, white blood cell >12 × 109/L;Respiratory failure: partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood while inhaling air< 60 mmHg, pulse oxygen saturation< 90%, or PaO2/FiO2 < 300;Atelectasis, pneumothorax, pleural effusion: Chest X - ray diagnosis;Bronchospasm: wheezing sound can be relieved with bronchodilators.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications and Risk Factors, run by Tongji Hospital.

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 3 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 29 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Incidence of PPCs (time frame: Up to 7 days). 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 29 Aug 2022.
