Pressure-controlled volume-guided vs volume-controlled ventilation during laparoscopic abdominal cancer surgery

Official title: Effect of Pressure-Controlled Volume Guaranteed Versus Volume-Controlled Ventilation Modes on Hemodynamic Outcomes and Respiratory Mechanics During Laparoscopic Abdominal Cancer Surgeries With Exaggerated Trendelenberg Postion : A Randomized Controlled Trial

Run by Assiut University · NCT07550738 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether two ventilation modes—PC-VG and VCV—affect heart and lung function in adults undergoing laparoscopic abdominal cancer surgery with a tilted position.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 20–80 years with ASA I–II undergoing elective laparoscopic abdominal cancer surgery, without severe cardiopulmonary or neuromuscular disease or obesity (BMI ≤ 30).

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe systemic disease, COPD/restrictive lung disease, obesity (BMI > 30), or neurologic neuromuscular conditions may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies

The trial compares two ventilation strategies in adults scheduled for elective laparoscopic abdominal cancer surgery with exaggerated Trendelenberg position. Primary outcomes focus on hemodynamics such as stroke volume, cardiac output, and cardiac index measured with ICON cardio-tonic technology. Secondary outcomes look at respiratory effects including atelectasis, plateau pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, dynamic compliance, and postoperative inflammatory markers like CRP and WBCs. Lung ultrasound and electrical cardiometry are used to monitor respiratory and cardiovascular status during the procedure. The study is conducted at Assiut University and South Egypt Cancer Institute in Egypt, involving adults aged 20 to 80 with ASA I-II, excluding those with significant cardiopulmonary disease or obesity.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could help tailor ventilation to improve heart and lung function during complex abdominal cancer surgeries.

How similar studies have gone: Previous research has explored ventilation modes and hemodynamics, but this study uses a specific combination with exaggerated Trendelenberg position and dual monitoring to clarify effects.
