Postoperative Pulmonary Complications Clinical Trial
— PRIME-AIROfficial title:
An Anesthesia-Centered Bundle to Reduce Postoperative Pulmonary Complications: The PRIME-AIR Study
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. National estimates suggest 1,062,000 PPCs per year, with 46,200 deaths, and 4.8 million additional days of hospitalization. The objective of the study is to develop and implement perioperative strategies to eliminate PPCs in abdominal surgery, the field with the largest absolute number of PPCs. We will conduct a randomized controlled pragmatic trial in 750 studied participants. The effectiveness of an individualized perioperative anesthesia-centered bundle will be compared to the usual anesthetic care in patients receiving open abdominal surgery. At the end of this project, the investigators expect to change clinical practice by establishing a new and clinically feasible anesthesia-centered strategy to reduce perioperative lung morbidity. The research will be conducted across 14 US academic centers, and will be funded by the National Institute of Health.

Secondary | Difference in Fatigue Participant-Reported Outcomes Measurements Information System (PROMIS) scores | PROMIS is system of individual scales (e.g., Fatigue PROMIS measure, Dyspnea PROMIS measure) to quantify the physical, mental, and social health outcomes of a participant surrounding a particular health issue. The short form for both the Fatigue PROMIS measure will be used for the current study.
Items on the Fatigue PROMIS measure are rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale (1-5), where 1 most often means "not at all" and 5 most often means "very much". Some items are reverse-coded. Total T-scores will be used in the analysis of the current study. T-scores are derived from the total raw scale scores (sum of each item on the scale). Lower values represent a better outcome and higher values represent a worse outcome. Fatigue PROMIS T-scores will be compared at 4 time-points. |
Baseline (pre-Day 0), Days 7, 30, and 90 | |
Secondary | Difference in Dyspnea Participant-Reported Outcomes Measurements Information System (PROMIS) scores | PROMIS is system of individual scales (e.g., Fatigue PROMIS measure, Dyspnea PROMIS measure) to quantify the physical, mental, and social health outcomes of a participant surrounding a particular health issue. The short form for both the Dyspnea PROMIS measure will be used for the current study.
Items on the Dyspnea PROMIS measure are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale (0-3), were 0 means "no difficulty" and 3 means "much difficulty". Each item also allows the participant to enter a missing value (X). Total T-scores will be used in the analysis of the current study. T-scores are derived from the total raw scale scores (sum of each item on the scale). Lower values represent a better outcome and higher values represent a worse outcome. Dyspnea PROMIS T-scores will be compared at 4 time-points. |
