Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Comparative Study Between AirSeal, an Integrated Insufflation System, and Conventional Insufflation (NCT NCT02075658)

NCT ID: NCT02075658

Last Updated: 2018-02-14

Results Overview

Our primary aim is to show reduction in the variance of intra-abdominal pressure throughout the operative procedure when using the AirSeal device compared to a conventional insufflator. Based on preliminary data, we assume pressures maintained at a mean of 15 through out surgery for both devices and a variance of 3.6 with the conventional insufflator.

Measure
Conventional Insufflation and Trocars
Subjects enrolled in this study arm will have their procedure performed using either the conventional insufflator and trocars. This system have been cleared for use by the FDA's 510 (k)process and are currently employed in clinical practice, including at UC Irvine Medical Center. Conventional Insufflator and Trocar: Conventional insufflator and trocars are used in standard procedures and will serve as the base for comparison of the study device (AirSeal® System).
AirSeal® System-Interventional
The AirSeal® System consists of an insufflation, filtration, and recirculation system (AirSeal® IFS), a triple lumen filtered tube set, and a valve free trocar (AirSeal® Access Port). AirSeal® System-Interventional: The AirSeal® System consists of an insufflation, filtration, and recirculation system (AirSeal® IFS), a triple lumen filtered tube set, and a valve free trocar (AirSeal® Access Port). The device enables peritoneal access with a novel mechanism to maintain pneumoperitoneum without a mechanical seal.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (Day of Procedure)

Assuming cardiac output of approximately 5.0 L/min with the conventional device, we will have 96% power to detect as significant an improvement in cardiac output to 5.5 L/min using a two-group Satterwaite t-test and assuming variance of 0.25. Cardiac out put is defined by the volume of blood pumped by the heart in a given amount of time.
