Trial Outcomes & Findings for Lung Collapse With Bronchial Blocker (NCT NCT01615263)

NCT ID: NCT01615263

Last Updated: 2014-03-27

Results Overview

For patients intubated with double lumen tube (DLT), clamping of the ipsilateral lumen without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the isolated lung will be done to allow lung collapse. The timer will be started at this moment and stopped 20 minutes after pleural opening. For patients of the bronchial blocker (BB) group, the first apnea period will of 30 seconds, keeping a pulse oximetry (SpO2) always over 97%, and under direct visualization with the FOB. Afterward, the cuff will be reflated and the timer will be started at this moment and stopped 20 minutes after pleural opening. For both groups, time of total lung collapse will be measured.

Participant Flow

From April to October 1st 2012, 111 patients were assessed for inclusion criteria. 71 patients were not included and 40 were enrolled at their pre-operative visit to the thoracic surgery department.

No enrolled patient was excluded from the study prior to the randomization.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From the beginning of one lung ventilation to 20 minutes after pleural opening

For patients intubated with double lumen tube (DLT), clamping of the ipsilateral lumen without continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the isolated lung will be done to allow lung collapse. The timer will be started at this moment and stopped 20 minutes after pleural opening. For patients of the bronchial blocker (BB) group, the first apnea period will of 30 seconds, keeping a pulse oximetry (SpO2) always over 97%, and under direct visualization with the FOB. Afterward, the cuff will be reflated and the timer will be started at this moment and stopped 20 minutes after pleural opening. For both groups, time of total lung collapse will be measured.

Timeframe: From pleural opening to 20 minutes after

Assessment of lung collapse by the thoracic surgeon at 0, 5, 10 and 20 minutes after pleural opening.Visual analog scale of the quality of lung collapse will be assessed as the following: 1. No lung collapse 2. Partial lung collapse, not satisfactory 3. Partial lung collapse, satisfactory 4. Complete lung collapse
