Prevention of Perioperative Pulmonary Complications by Lung Recruitment During Laparoscopic Surgery

August 24, 2021 updated by: Osaka University

Prevention of Perioperative Pulmonary Complications by Lung Recruitment During Laparoscopic Surgery in Trendelenburg Head-down Position

Perioperative pulmonary complications such as atelectasis, hypoxemia, and pneumonia after ventilatory management during general anesthesia have a negative impact on patient outcomes. The possibility of reducing perioperative pulmonary complications by lung recruitment, which uses positive pressure to prevent alveolar collapse, has been reported. Although laparoscopic surgery, which has been widely performed in recent years, can reduce the invasiveness of the operation, it is prone to alveolar collapse due to increased abdominal pressure and diaphragm elevation. The purpose of this study is to verify whether the lung recruitment during laparoscopic surgery in Trendelenburg head-down position prevents hypoxemia due to lung collapse.

Recruiting

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

The multi-center RCT will enroll 80 patients who have laparoscopic surgery in Trendelenburg head-down position. Informed consent will be obtained for study subjects who meet the selection criteria, and the subjects will be enrolled in Electronic Data Capture and randomized into two groups. Patients will be admitted to the operating room for induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will be performed according to the initial settings and protocols. In the intervention group, after intubation, the ventilator will be initially set up, and the first pulmonary recruitment will be performed immediately after the start of the laparoscopy, followed by recruitment every 30 minutes until the end of the laparoscopy.

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
