Ultrasound to Verify Lung-isolation During Single-lung Ventilation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Thoracic Diseases
• Interventions: Device: Portable, Point-of-Care Ultrasound

• Registration Number: NCT03729999
• Lead Sponsor: Nationwide Children's Hospital

Brief Summary

The purpose of the current study is to prospectively evaluate the usefulness of thoracic ultrasonography in demonstrating effective lung isolation during single-lung ventilation (SLV) in the pediatric patient. The primary hypothesis is that ultrasonography will accurately verify lung separation during SLV, as compared to fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB).

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Ultrasonography	Portable, Point-of-Care Ultrasound	Patients requiring single lung ventilation for a surgical procedure will have a bedside ultrasound to evaluate lung isolation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The Accuracy of Using Ultrasound to Assess Lung Isolation by Visualizing Lung Movement or Lack Thereof of Both the Operative and Non-operative Lung Fields.	Within 5 minutes of intubation and single lung ventilation device placement	Ultrasound will be used to look for lung sliding in the ventilated lung field and lack of lung sliding and presence of lung pulse on the operative/isolated lung field. The effectiveness of this modality will also be compared to the lung auscultation for assessing lung isolation, which along with FOB is the current accepted standards of care.
Time to Confirm Lung Isolation	Within 5 minutes of intubation and single lung ventilation device placement	Compare the time required to confirm lung isolation using auscultation, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), and ultrasound.
