Thoraco-abdominal Volume Variations During Anesthesia Studied by OEP.

December 5, 2014 updated by: Peter Kostic, Uppsala University Hospital

Thoraco-abdominal Volume Variation During Recovery From Total Intravenous Anesthesia Studied by Opto-electronic Plethysmography (OEP).

The aim of this study is to examine chest wall volume changes monitored by opto-electronic plethysmography during recovery from anesthesia and early postoperative period.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is prospective, randomized clinical trial in subjects undergoing elective surgery requiring general anesthesia.

Opto-electronic plethysmography (OEP) has been developed as a non-invasive method for the analysis of chest wall motion, allowing highly accurate measurements of chest wall volume changes of different respiratory compartments in various conditions.

The investigators set out to use this technology to study chest wall volume changes during recovery from total intravenous anesthesia (from discontinuing the anesthetic agent till extubation) and early postoperative period.

The study protocol compares two different approaches:

  1. The group receiving recruitment maneuver (RM) immediately after intubation and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 7 cm H20 until extubation. Inspiratory oxygen concentration 40% during recovery from anesthesia.
  2. The group not receiving RM, PEEP 0 cm H2O and inspiratory oxygen concentration 100% during recovery from anesthesia.

The volume changes of the chest wall is monitored continuously by OEP, functional residual capacity (FRC) and arterial oxygenation are measured at the defined points in the protocol.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: open lung
The lung recruitment maneuver (RM) immediately after intubation using pressure controlled ventilation, increase in peak inspiratory pressure up to 30 cm H2O during tidal ventilation, respiratory rate 4/min and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 15 cm H20. PEEP 7 cm H2O until extubation. Inspiratory oxygen concentration (FiO2) 40% during recovery from anesthesia.
Procedure: lung recruitment maneuver
RM: peak inspiratory pressure 30 cmH2O, PEEP 15 cm H20 FiO2 0,4 (from end of surgery till extubation)
NO_INTERVENTION: control
No recruitment maneuver is performed. PEEP 0 cm H2O. Inspiratory oxygen concentration (FiO2) 100 % during recovery from anesthesia.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Opto-electronic plethysmography (OEP)
Time Frame: 1. 5 min after each of these steps: the onset of the mechanical ventilation, the randomization, the end of the surgery 2. continuously during recovery 3. one hour after extubation
Respiratory movements and thoracic and abdominal volume changes is recorded continuously using OEP (OEP system, BTS,Milan, Italy) by analysing the movements of retro-reflective markers using six video cameras connected to an automatic optoelectronic motion analyser.
1. 5 min after each of these steps: the onset of the mechanical ventilation, the randomization, the end of the surgery 2. continuously during recovery 3. one hour after extubation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional residual capacity (FRC)
Time Frame: 5 min after each of these steps: the onset of mechanical ventilation, the randomization, the end of the sergery
5 min after each of these steps: the onset of mechanical ventilation, the randomization, the end of the sergery

Time Frame: 5 min after each of these steps: the onset of mechanical ventilation, the randomization, the end of the surgery, extubation
Arterial blood gas measurement.
