About this study

Official title: Impacts of Aminophylline on Perioperative Lung Mechanics in COPD Morbidly Obese Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Double Blinded Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of adding aminophylline to dexmedetomidine intravenous infusion intraoperatively on oxygenation and lung mechanics in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Read the detailed description

Bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment for patients suffering from morbid obesity, as it results in maintained loss of weight and clear impact on the comorbidities related to obesity. However, despite the advantages of anesthesia, it can have detrimental effects on the recovery of obese patients who have a high prevalence of respiratory conditions and sleep disorders.

Obesity is usually related to other respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). According to a meta-analysis encompassing more than 300,000 adult patients, obesity and asthma were interlinked, and as BMI increased, a higher risk of asthma was noticed.

The use of dexmedetomidine infusion in morbid obese patients was assessed by many clinical trials. They revealed that the use of dexmedetomidine has the same analgesic effect as the use of fentanyl with greater hemodynamic stability obtained with the use of dexmedetomidine. Dexmedetomidine has the advantage of having no respiratory depressant effect. Also, it has an amnestic effect. Dexmedetomidine does not affect the sleep pattern and maintains the airway patency.

Aminophylline is a compound of theophylline with ethylenediamine and most common uses in the airway obstruction such as asthma and COPD. primarily for its bronchodilating and central nervous stimulating effects. However, emprical evidence suggests that aminophylline, as an adenosine antagonist, can improve the recovery time from general anesthesia.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aminophylline-DexmedetomidineDrug

    10 minutes after endotracheal intubation, patients will receive intravenous (IV) bolus of dexmedetomidine 0.5 microgm/kg Lean body weight (LBW) over 15 min, followed immediately by intravenous infusion at 0.2 microgm /kg LBW/h and IV bolus of aminophylline of 5 mg/kg based on the ideal body weight (IBW) over 30 min, followed immediately by intravenous infusion at 0.6 mg/kg IBW/h. The study solutions will be diluted in 50 ml normal saline.

  • DexmedetomidineDrug

    10 minutes after endotracheal intubation, patients will receive intravenous (IV) bolus of dexmedetomidine 0.5 microgm/kg Lean body weight (LBW) over 15 min, followed immediately by intravenous infusion at 0.2 microgm /kg LBW/h. The study solutions will be diluted in 50 ml normal saline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Static lung compliance

    Static lung compliance will be calculated as: tidal volume/ [plateau pressure - Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)] at 5 minutes after endotracheal intubation (baseline), 30 and 90 minutes after the beginning of the drug infusion.

    Measured: Up to 90 minutes after the beginning of the drug infusion.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Dynamic lung compliance

    Dynamic lung compliance will be calculated as: tidal volume/ [peak airway pressure - Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)] at 5 minutes after endotracheal intubation (baseline), 30 and 90 minutes after the beginning of the drug infusion.

    Measured: Up to 90 minutes after the beginning of the drug infusion.

  2. Intraoperative oxygenation

    Intraoperative oxygenation will be measured at 5 minutes after endotracheal intubation (baseline), 30 and 90 minutes after the beginning of the drug infusion determined by (S/F ratio: SPO2/ FiO2).

    Measured: Up to 90 minutes after the beginning of the drug infusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aminophylline-Dexmedetomidine and Dexmedetomidine in people with Aminophylline and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 14 Nov 2023. 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 Egypt. 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?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Soliman R Naser, MD (00201097929609, Soliman.naser@med.tanta.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Static lung compliance (time frame: Up to 90 minutes after the beginning of the drug infusion.). 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?
