Trial summary

This study aims to validate existing PaO₂ prediction equations (Rice, Pandharipande, Gadrey, Hill, Severinghaus-Ellis) by comparing predicted PaO₂ values with measured values. If these equations are found to be invalid, new PaO₂ prediction formulas will be derived and validated for accuracy and performance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Imputation of Arterial Oxygen Partial Pressures Using Pulse Oximetry in Surgical Patients Under General Anesthesia

This study aims to validate existing PaO₂ prediction equations (Rice, Pandharipande, Gadrey, Hill, Severinghaus-Ellis) by comparing predicted PaO₂ values with measured values. If these equations are found to be invalid, new PaO₂ prediction formulas will be derived and validated for accuracy and performance.

The included blood samples are arterial blood sample collected for ABGs analysis through either an arterial catheter or an arterial blood puncture in adult patients (Age >18 years) undergoing general anesthesia regardless of the acuity of the surgery (elective, emergency, or lifesaving), the hemodynamic stability of the patient, or the comorbidities. Patients undergoing cardiac or thoracic surgeries will be excluded.

Read the detailed description

The partial pressure of oxygen in the arterial blood (PaO2) / the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ratio has been commonly used as an indicator of adequate oxygenation and in the diagnosis and severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which requires arterial blood gas (ABGs) analysis. Another way to measure oxygenation is by using the noninvasive pulse oximetry to measure the oxygen saturation (SpO2). Three formulas have been derived and validated in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting to estimate the PaO2 from the SpO2. However, the relationship of PaO2 and SpO2 and these derivation equations are not validated in the setting of general anesthesia in the operating theatre (OT) in which patients are prone to multiple intraoperative and postoperative pulmonary complications.

The aim is to validate existing PaO₂ prediction equations (Rice, Pandharipande, Gadrey, Hill, Severinghaus-Ellis) by comparing predicted PaO₂ values with measured values. If these equations are found to be invalid, new PaO₂ prediction formulas will be derived and validated for accuracy and performance.

This is a prospective cohort study that will be conducted at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) in the OT under the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine. The data will be collected by the investigators of the study. These include the PaO2 (in mmHg), FiO2, SpO2 (in %), and Mean airway pressure (in cmH2O) at the time of sample collection, in addition to patient characteristics as age, gender, weight, height, BMI, smoking status, surgery type, surgery acuity, and present comorbidities specifically cardiac and respiratory comorbidities.

Validating the use of one of the formulas to derive PaO2 from SpO2 in the OT would help anesthesiologists detect derangements in patients' oxygenation earlier and decrease the need for ABGs analysis and its possible complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oxygen Saturation and Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by American University of Beirut Medical Center at 1 site in Lebanon.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 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 Lebanon. 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?

PaO2 (time frame: 30 minutes after intubation until extubation). 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 8 Nov 2024.
