Sponsored by: University of Sao Paulo
Information provided by: University of Sao Paulo
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00666510
  Purpose

Intraoperative bronchospasm challenges anesthesia's safety. This study aims to investigate high concentration of exhaled nitric oxide as a marker of intraoperative bronchospasm.


Condition
Asthma
Airway Hyperresponsiveness

MedlinePlus related topics: Anesthesia Asthma
Drug Information available for: Nitric oxide
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Case Control, Retrospective
Official Title: Higher Exhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) is Associated With Intraoperative Bronchospasm

Further study details as provided by University of Sao Paulo:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Exhaled nitric oxide in parts per billion [ Time Frame: one to six months after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Eosinophils concentration within sputum sample, pulmonary function tests [ Time Frame: one to six months after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Biospecimen Retention:   Samples Without DNA

Biospecimen Description:

Sputum


Enrollment: 31
Study Start Date: January 1999
Study Completion Date: December 2004
Groups/Cohorts
Bronchospasm
Patients who presented bronchospasm during anesthesia induction
Asthma
Patients who presented bronchospasm during anesthesia induction and were identified as asthmatics
Control
Patients who were submitted to anesthesia induction and showed no complications

Detailed Description:

Previous studies in asthmatic patients suggested that exhaled nitric oxide may represent a noninvasive measure for airway inflammation. Anesthesia information forms from 1999 throughout 2004 were revised (n=146.358). Bronchospasm occurrence appeared registered on 863 forms. From those, nine were identified as non-asthmatics patients (Bronchospasm group). Also, 12 asthmatics constituted one additional group (Asthma group) and 10 subjects with no previous airway disease or symptoms (Control group). All subjects were submitted to Exhaled nitric oxide measurements (parts/billion), spirometry and induced sputum.
