About this study

Official title: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Versus Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Support Ventilation in Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Oedema: a Prospective Randomised Multicentre Trial.

To assess the intubation rate in patients affected by severe cardiogenic pulmonary edema treated with CPAP or NPPV.

Read the detailed description

Background Although non-invasive ventilation has shown to be an effective treatment for acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (ACPO), literature still lacks of multi-centre randomised prospective studies that compares CPAP with NPPV.

Aim of the study was to assess efficacy and safety of CPAP and NPPV in patients with ACPO.

Methods 80 patients with ACPO were randomly assigned to receive CPAP or NPPV (40 for each group) through a face mask.

Inclusion criteria were: severe dyspnoea, respiratory rate > 30, PaO2/FiO2 < 200, muscle fatigue.

Main end-points were endotracheal intubation, length of ventilation, hospital length of stay and mortality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing CPAP and Non Invasive Ventilation in people with Pulmonary Edema, run by Ospedale S. Giovanni Bosco at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Intubation rate. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Apr 2007.
