Brief Summary:

A prospective, randomized, controlled single-center clinical Study designed to evaluate Physician Preference related to the use of the SurgiQuest AirSeal® Insufflation System (AIS) at low vs. higher pressures for the Management of pneumoperitoneum. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 treatment device to control ratio into one of two (2) different study arms:

  1. AIS with an insufflation pressure target of 9mmHg ±1mmHg; or
  2. AIS with an insufflation pressure target of 15mmHg ±1mmHg.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Shoulder Pain Device: AirSeal® Insufflation System (AIS) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The study is designed and powered to demonstrate superiority of the AIS at low pressure vs. at higher pressure on a single key effectiveness measure: Incidence of shoulder pain. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to either AIS with an insufflation pressure target of 9mmHg ±1mmHg or to AIS with an insufflation target pressure of 15mmHg ±1mmHg.

Secondary outcome measures include severity of shoulder pain measured using a VAS scale and medication use, length of hospital stay, aspects of anesthesia management including end tidal CO2 and the frequency of adverse events. These outcomes will be evaluated in a controlled population undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Arm Intervention/treatment
LOW AIS Pressure AirSeal®
AIS with an insufflation pressure target of 9mmHg ±1mmHg
 Device: AirSeal® Insufflation System (AIS)
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. Specifically, the AirSeal® System creates a pressure barrier within the proximal housing of the cannula which acts as an invisible seal to maintain pneumoperitoneum during the course of surgery. It utilizes a re-circulation and filtration control unit (AirSeal® iFS) designed specifically for the AirSeal® Access Port to create and maintain the pressure barrier.
HIGH AIS Pressure AirSeal®
AIS with an insufflation pressure target of 15mmHg ±1mm
 Device: AirSeal® Insufflation System (AIS)

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Post-operative shoulder pain [ Time Frame: Post-operative shoulder pain will be assessed at 24 hours after surgery, or at the time of discharge, whichever comes first. ]
    Severity of shoulder pain, which will be measured using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale or Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, whichever is deemed more appropriate by the clinician assessing the patient.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pain severity and trend [ Time Frame: Pain will be assessed at least daily from the immediate post-operative period until discharge from the hospital, up to 10 days. ]
    Severity of shoulder pain, back pain, abdominal pain. Pain will be measured using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale or Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale, whichever is deemed more appropriate by the clinician assessing the patient.

  2. Pressure stability [ Time Frame: During procedure ]
    Stability of intra-abdominal pressure

  3. Ease of anesthesia management [ Time Frame: During procedure ]
    Excessively high peak and/or mean airway pressures. Anesthesiologist reported difficulty with ventilation.

  4. Length of recovery room stay [ Time Frame: Post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) discharge, up to 24 hours. ]
    A measure of time the patient spends in the post-anesthesia recovery area

  5. Length of Stay (LOS) [ Time Frame: Until the time of hospital discharge, up to 10 days. ]
    The length of hospital stay associated with the surgery. This will be assessed through study completion. It is anticipated to be less than 10 days but could potentially exceed this length as the length of stay cannot always be predicted and there is no upper limit on hospital length of stay.

  6. Procedural related Adverse Events/ Serious Adverse Events (AEs/ SAEs? [ Time Frame: During hospital stay up to 30 days ]
  7. Rate of device-related events [ Time Frame: During procedure ]
