Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the application of Boussignac continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) immediately after extubation improves PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio in morbidly obese patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery .


Description:

Background: In 2010, the prevalence of obesity in individuals above 15 years old in Portugal was 15.5% for males and 17.7% for females. .In this country bariatric surgery has increased significantly playing an important role in the treatment of individuals with BMI ≥ 40 kg/m2 or less than 35 kg/m2 in the presence of comorbidities.

Morbid obesity has a negative impact in the respiratory physiology and is associated with a decreased compliance of the lung and chest wall, increased airway resistance, decreased respiratory muscle strength, increased work of breathing, worsening of ventilation / perfusion ratio and postoperative hypoxemia. General anesthesia and surgery in these patients will maximize these physiologic alterations.

Ahmad et al. (2008) found that morbid obesity per se, regardless of the presence of obstructive sleep apnea was associated with increased risk of desaturation in the first 24h of the postoperative period.

Gaszynski et al. (2007) found that the use of Boussignac CPAP in the postoperative period of patients undergoing bariatric surgery improved oxygenation. However, it was used capillary blood gas analysis not arterial blood and the FiO2 was different between groups.

More recently, in 2011, Wong et al. investigated the effect of Boussignac CPAP versus Venturi mask in the first one hour after bariatric surgery, measuring the PaO2 / FiO2 ratio at 1 hour and 2 hours of the postoperative period. The group maintained with CPAP showed better results. There were no differences between the two groups for FEV1 and FVC. The study does not reveal, however, the analgesic protocol used postoperatively or the patient's position during the spirometric measurements. These variables could be possible confounders. The PaO2 absolute value was not evaluated because of the different FiO2 between patients.

Objectives: We aim to assess the impact of the application of Boussignac CPAP ventilation immediately after extubation for improving PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio in morbidly obese patients submitted to gastric bypass surgery. As a secondary objective we intend to evaluate if there are differences in spirometry parameters.

Methods: A randomized controlled study on 24 patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery. Control group receives a Ventury mask immediately after extubation and the intervention group gets the Boussignac CPAP immediately after extubation. Both groups have the same anesthetic protocol during the intraoperative period and receive a 50% FiO2 after extubation. Venturi mask and Boussignac CPAP are maintained for two hours. A blood sample is collected from radial artery to measure PaO2 and calculate PaO2/FiO2 ratio before surgery and at 1, 2 and 24 hours after extubation in both groups. Evaluation of forced expiraroty volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) with a portable spirometer is also performed at the same intervals. Patients are monitored for oxygen saturation, arterial pressure and cardiac rhythm while using the devices. Tolerance to the device, analgesic requirements and sedation level are also monitored and registered.

Intervention

Device:
Boussignac CPAP
Boussignac CPAP with a 50% FiO2 (adjusted in a piece adapted to the system) and a pressure of 5cmH2O (measured with a manometer) is applied immediately after extubation and mantained for two hours after extubation in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU).
Venturi face mask
Venturi mask with a 50% FiO2 is used immediately after extubation and mantained for two hours in the post anesthesia care unit (PACU).
