About this study

Official title: Randomised Controlled Comparison of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) With Standard Treatment in Out-of-hospital Patients With Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema.

Evaluate efficacy and safety of CPAP in a randomised standard treatment controlled study, in out-of-hospital patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

Read the detailed description

Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema is a frequent medical emergency. Several studies have shown that continuous positive airway pressure is effective in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, through improvement in gas exchange, reduction in intubation rate and a trend towards reduced mortality. CPAP is usually obtained with a hermetic nasal or facemask witch has an expiratory valve to maintain a positive pressure at the end of the expiration. With this support, the patient does not receive any assistance with respiration.

The available data about CPAP concern patients hospitalised in cardiology intensive care units, in resuscitation areas or in emergency departments.

We will undertake a controlled prospective randomised trial to investigate whether the early use of CPAP would improve oxygenation and survival, as compared with standard medical therapy in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema.

This study will include 124 patients over 18 years of age, suffering of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, with a respiratory rate greater than 25 bpm and oxygen saturation less than 90 %. The patients will be include just after the beginning of the episode, in prehospital mobile intensive car unit (SAMU) and will be all admitted in resuscitation area in a central hospital. They will be randomly assigned to CPAP or conventional oxygen therapy. The randomisation sequence is generated by the random numbers table. Closed envelopes containing the allocated treatment will be stored in the emergency department and will be opened when the patient is included.

Oxygen saturation (by pulse-oxymetry), heart rate, respiratory rate, dyspnea, blood pressure will be measured every 15 min during the transport to the intensive care unit and every hour. The blood gazes will be measured at the arrival. The intubation rate, the duration of the hospitalisation and the mortality in the thirty days following initial treatment will be noted.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Treatment success after the one hour study period, defined as all of respiratory rate less than 25 bpm, oxygen saturation greater than 90 %.

    Measured: One hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Physiological parameters: vital signs, dyspnea , intubation rate

    Measured: one hour

  2. Safety parameters: adverse events , duration of hospitalisation , mortality 5 days and 30 days after the end of the one hour study period.

    Measured: during hospitalisation

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment success after the one hour study period, defined as all of respiratory rate less than 25 bpm, oxygen saturation greater than 90 %. (time frame: One hour). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00439075, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 May 2017.
