About this study

Official title: Non Invasive Positive Airway Pressure And Risk Of Myocardial Infarction In Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Vs Non Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

This randomized controlled trial is primarily aimed at assessing the rate of acute myocardial infarction with the two noninvasive ventilatory techniques, non-invasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation and non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure.

Read the detailed description

Objective: To determine whether the application of non-invasive intermittent positive pressure ventilation (n-IPPV) increases the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) secondary to acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE), as opposed to non-invasive continuous positive airway pressure (n-CPAP).

Background Both n-CPAP or n-IPPV are used to treat ACPE complicated by ARF. Two previous studies, however, report an increased rate of AMI associated with the use of n-IPPV.

Methods: Fifty-two patients with severe ARF consequent to ACPE were randomized to receive n-CPAP (n=27) or n-IPPV (n=25), both associated with standard medical therapy. Cardiac markers, electrocardiogram and clinical-physiological parameters were monitored at study entry, after 30 and 60 minutes, and every 6 hours for the first two days.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rate of endotracheal intubation

  2. Mortality

  3. Time of recovery (i.e. duration of ventilatory assistance)

  4. High Dependency Unit and hospital length of stay

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 and Myocardial Infarction, 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 6 inclusion and 15 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 29 Mar 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?

The rate of Acute Myocardial Infarction. 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 NCT00453947, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2007.
