About this study

The aim of this study is to assess the impact on lung mechanics during robotic lung resection when no capnothorax is used.

Read the detailed description

Assess the improvement of oxygenation, ventilation and lung mechanics in patients ventilated with individualized PEEP without capnothorax. PEEP requirement and lung mechanics without capnothorax will be compared with a historical cohort population of robotic surgery with capnothorax.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory airway pressures

    Respiratory airway pressures (peak pressure, plateau pressure and PEEP in cmH2O)

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

  2. Respiratory rate

    Respiratory rate (in cycles per minute)

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

  3. Respiratory system compliance

    Respiratory pressures measurement will be combined to obtain respiratory system compliance.

    Respiratory system compliance = (plateau pressure-PEEP) / respiratory tidal volume (expressed in cmH2O/mL)

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Arterial blood gas parameters: pO2

    pO2 in mmHg in arterial blood gas sample

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

  2. Arterial blood gas parameters: pCO2

    pCO2 in mmHg in arterial blood gas sample

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

  3. Arterial blood gas parameters: pH

    pH of arterial blood gas samples (no unit can be applied)

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

  4. Arterial blood gas parameters: sodium bicarbonate

    Arterial blood sample sodium bicarbonate concentration (in mmol/L)

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

  5. Arterial blood gas parameters: base excess

    Base excess in arterial blood gas samples in mEq/L

    Measured: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Robotic Thoracic Surgery and Mechanical Ventilation, run by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2025. 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 Spain. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Respiratory airway pressures (time frame: During intra-operative mechanical ventilation (4 hours)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06784037, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Jan 2025.
