Clinical Trial: Fraction of Inspired Oxygen and Atelectasis in Children

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Effects of Fraction of Inspired Oxygen on Atelectasis in Mechanically Ventilated Children

Brief Summary: Investigators hypothesized that maintaining low fraction of inspired oxygen would be beneficial to prevent anesthesia-induced atelectasis in mechanically ventilated children undergoing general anesthesia.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Current Primary Outcome: Incidence of postoperative atelectasis [ Time Frame: within the first day after the surgery ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Incidence of atelectasis after endotracheal intubation [ Time Frame: from the moment of endotracheal intubation until the end of surgery, up to 4 hours ]
  • Intraoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value) [ Time Frame: from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 4 hours ]
  • Postoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value) [ Time Frame: within the first day after the surgery ]
  • Postoperative incidence of fever (≥37.5℃) [ Time Frame: within the first day after the surgery ]
  • Postoperative incidence of respiratory complications [ Time Frame: within the first day after the surgery ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
