The Effect of Decreasing the Inspired Oxygen Concentration on Post-Operative Oxygenation After Primary Lobectomy
- Registration Number
- NCT02509182
- Lead Sponsor
- Yale University
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that decreasing the inspired oxygen concentration during thoracic surgery requiring one lung ventilation will improve post-operative oxygenation.
- Detailed Description
One lung ventilation is frequently required during thoracic surgery and results in decreased lung function post-operatively. Supra-physiologic oxygen levels during surgery may contribute to this decrease in lung function by worsening lung injury intra-operatively.
This study will include patients undergoing surgery to remove a lung lobe requiring one lung ventilation.
The patients will be divided into two groups with the experimental group receiving a 60% oxygen in air mixture and the control group receiving 100% oxygen.
The two groups will be compared by using a measure of lung function (the ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood to the inspired oxygen concentration) and blood levels of a protein correlated with lung injury (receptor of advanced glycation end products RAGE).

Group Intervention Description 60% FiO2 60% oxygen 60% oxygen administered during pulmonary lobectomy surgery. 100% FiO2 100% oxygen 100% oxygen administered during pulmonary lobectomy surgery.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method PaO2 to FiO2 ratio Post-operative day 1 The ratio of the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) to the inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2). An arterial blood sample will be drawn from an arterial line on post-operative day 1 and the FiO2 at the time of blood draw will be documented to calculate the ratio.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Blood level of receptor of advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) protein Post-operative day 1 The receptor of advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) protein levels correlates with alveolar epithelial lung cell injury and will be measured in a blood sample collected on post-operative day 1.
Mortality 1 year Mortality will be determined by accessing the medical record.
Hypoxemia less than 90% Intra-operative This will be recorded from the intraoperative data acquired during surgery.
