About this study

Official title: Vaping Associated Perioperative Pulmonary Complications - Anesthetic Implications

Prospective observational study evaluating the incidence, and qualifying the types, of perioperative pulmonary complications in patients that vape.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of our study is to determine the rate at which patients that vape or use e-cigarettes experience perioperative pulmonary complications during and following general anesthesia. Complications of interest will include postoperative atelectasis with hypoxemia necessitating oxygen therapy, pneumothorax, pneumonia, bronchospasm, bronchospasm requiring bronchodilator therapy, exacerbation of underlying pulmonary disease, pneumonia, ARDS, and acute respiratory failure. Hospital course, including prolonged PACU stay, prolonged hospital admission for inpatients, and rate of ICU admissions, will also be investigated.

A secondary objective will be to further investigate and include the relationship between vaping cessation timeline in the preoperative period and the occurrence of PPCs, which is similarly underreported in the literature. Furthermore, the study will assess how effectively anesthesia providers are screening for vaping or e-cigarette use as part of the preoperative evaluation, given that "it is unclear whether anesthesiologists and surgeons routinely ask patients explicitly about vaping" in the pre-operative setting. This lack of representative screening for vaping further obscures an understanding of the relationship between vaping, vaping cessation, and PPCs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Perioperative pulmonary complications

    Complications of interest will include postoperative atelectasis with hypoxemia necessitating oxygen therapy, pneumothorax, pneumonia, bronchospasm, bronchospasm requiring bronchodilator therapy, exacerbation of underlying pulmonary disease, pneumonia, ARDS, and acute respiratory failure. Hospital course, including prolonged PACU stay, prolonged hospital admission for inpatients, and rate of ICU admissions, will also be investigated.

    Measured: From the initiation of general anesthesia through postoperative day seven.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Vaping cessation timeline

    Includes the relationship between vaping cessation timeline in the preoperative period and the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications

    Measured: From the initiation of general anesthesia through postoperative day seven.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vaping and Complication of Anesthesia, run by Navy Medical Center San Diego at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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 17 May 2024. 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 United States. 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?

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?

Perioperative pulmonary complications (time frame: From the initiation of general anesthesia through postoperative day seven.). 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 17 May 2024.
