About this study

The present investigation is focused to assess the effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on respiratory system compliance in obese patients invasive mechanical ventilation for laparoscopic or robotic surgery with pneumoperitoneum

Read the detailed description

Adult obese (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2) patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation for laparoscopic or robotic surgery with pneumoperitoneum will be enrolled, upon the acquisition of informed consent.

Will be excluded all the patients with the following conditions: American society of anesthesiologists (ASA) score ≥ 4; severe cardiopathy, intracranial hypertension, tracheostomy, previous cardio-thoracic surgery, pulmonary hypertension, broncho-pleural fistula, pulmonary emphysema, pneumothorax, chronic respiratory failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pregnancy.

Thereafter, general anesthesia will be induced, according to current clinical practice and mechanical ventilation will be commenced according to current recommendations.

Following the application of definitive pneumoeritoneum and body position, the recruitment/inflation procedure will be carried out to identify PEEP. PEEP-induced recruitment will be computed with high PEEP set at 15 cmh2o (or higher) and low PEEP set at 5 cmh2o. In case of an airway opening pressure > 5 cmh2o, the airway opening pressure (AOP) will be set as low PEEP and the high PEEP will be set at the value corresponding to AOP+ 10 cmh20. During the procedure, tidal volume will be maintained between 6-8 ml/kg of predicted body weight. On the basis of the recruitment-to-inflation ratio (R/I), PEEP will be set as follows: low PEEP, in presence of R/I < 0,5; high PEEP with R/I ≥ 1.5; PEEP set within low and high PEEP range on clinical decision, if R/I ≥ 0.5 and <1.5.

After 20 min from the onset of mechanical ventilation and 1 hour from PEEP application following pneumoperitoneum and definitive body position, mechanics of the respiratory system for compliance and driving pressure will be assessed.

As an optional evaluation, a lung ultrasound examination will be performed before general anesthesia induction and 1 hour after extubation, before discharging the patient from recovery room.

During anesthesia vital signs will be continuously monitored. On the clinically judgement, arterial blood gases will be carried out across the study stages.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative respiratory system mechanics

    respiratory system compliance defined as volume variation to pressure variation ratio

    Measured: 1 hour following PEEP application

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. respiratory pulmonary complications incidence

    the number of pulmonary complications (hypoxaemia with oxygen saturation less than or equal to 92% requiring suplemental oxygen administration, atelectasis, pneumothorax, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, reintubation

    Measured: up to 7 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory System Mechanics and Pneumoperitoneum, run by Azienda Ospedaliera di Perugia at 2 sites in Italy.

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 1 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 9 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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?

Intraoperative respiratory system mechanics (time frame: 1 hour following PEEP application). 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 9 Aug 2023.
