NCT05823688

Brief Summary

The goal of this prospective, observational study is to describe EIT measurements at different time points during the perioperative period in healthy children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The objective is to evaluate the impact of general anesthesia and laparoscopy on regional pulmonary ventilation visualized at EIT during the perioperative period.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Regional Ventilation distribution

    Difference in regional ventilation distribution before and after institution of pneumoperitoneum

    Intraoperative

Interventions

Measure of regional ventilation by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) before and during pneumoperitoneum

Eligibility Criteria

Age10 Years - 18 Years
Sexall
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Pediatric patients age 10-18 undergoing laparoscopic procedures

You may qualify if:

  • ASA Status I and II
  • elective or urgent laparoscopic procedures (e.g., appendectomy, cholecystectomy, varicocelectomy)

You may not qualify if:

  • Lack of parental consent
  • ASA status III-IV
  • Presence of peritonitis or other abdominal inflammatory process that could potentially interfere with spontaneous breathing ventilation
  • Need for immediate resuscitation maneuvers
  • Severe respiratory illness in the previous 4-6 weeks
  • Pre-existing chronic pulmonary conditions
  • Concomitant acute pulmonary conditions (e.g. pneumonia, pleural effusion)
  • Cardiac arrest
  • Skeletal deformities (e.g. rib cage malformations or scoliosis), neuromuscular diseases or cardiac conditions affecting respiratory mechanics
  • BMI \> 30
  • Presence of implantable devices not compatible with EIT (such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators)
