Background and study aims
Incorrect intercostal space positioning can cause inconvenience to surgeons, increasing surgery time and even increasing risk. The accuracy of the surgeon's manual positioning depends on the doctor's rich clinical experience and is also influenced by factors such as the patient's gender and body mass index. Determining the intercostal gap by ultrasound guidance is more intuitive. The focus of this double-blind randomized study was to assess the temporal accuracy of ultrasound in the positioning of the intercostal space and compare it to manual positioning.
Who can participate?
Anesthesiologists and surgeons.
What does the study involve?
The temporal accuracy of ultrasound in the positioning of the intercostal space and compare it to manual positioning.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no benefits or risks of participating.
Where is the study run from?
Henan Provincial People's Hospital.
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
December 2018 to October 2019.
Who is funding the study?
Wei Zhang, who works at Henan Provincial People's Hospital.

Scientific title | The accuracy and efficiency of positioning of the intercostal space under ultrasound guidance compared with manual positioning: an observational study |
Study objectives | Compared with manual positioning, the ultrasound-guided rib gap is more accurate and faster. |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration. |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Locating the intercostal space during surgery |
Intervention | The anesthesiologist and the surgeon participated in the experiment. The surgeon uses the technique to locate the intercostal space and the anesthesiologist uses ultrasound to locate the intercostal space and record the time. After the operation started, after the thoracoscope entered the chest cavity, it is judged whether the positioning of the rib gap was correct by direct vision. There is no follow-up. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | The accuracy of manual positioning and ultrasonic positioning of the rib gap is measured using the number of people positioned correctly divided by the total number of people. |
Secondary outcome measures | Total time of manual positioning and ultrasonic positioning of the intercostal space. |
