History of Changes

Purpose

This is a pilot randomised controlled trial comparing open versus thoracoscopic surgery for repair of oesophageal atresia with tracheo-oesophageal fistula or congenital diaphragmatic hernia in neonates. Thoracoscopic surgery involves insufflation of carbon dioxide into the thoracic cavity and may therefore cause hypercapnia and acidosis.

Condition	Intervention
Esophageal Atresia With Tracheo-esophageal Fistula Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia	Procedure: Hypercapnia during thoracoscopy Procedure: Open surgery


Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title:	Hypercapnia During Thoracoscopy or Open Surgery for Repair of Oesophageal Atresia With Tracheo-oesophageal Fistula or Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia in Neonates: Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

Primary Outcome Measures:

Arterial blood carbon dioxide measurement
Arterial blood carbon dioxide will be measured during operation as standard of practice by obtaining the blood samples

Secondary Outcome Measures:

oxygenation of the brain
oxygenation of the brain will be measured by a non-invasive technique, near infra-red spectroscopy
arterial carbon dioxide levels measured transcutaneously
arterial carbon dioxide levels measured transcutaneously by non-invasively using a probe placed on the skin


Estimated Enrollment:	30
Study Start Date:	August 2009

Estimated Primary Completion Date:	August 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
