Trial summary

30% of ARDS patients ventilated according to NIH protocol presents morphological (CT) and functional (Stress Index>1) conditions of hyperinflation even with Plateau pressure (Pplat) < 30 cmH2O; values of Pplat lower than 26 cmH2O were associated with more a condition of more protective ventilation.

About this study

30% of ARDS patients ventilated according to NIH protocol presents morphological (CT) and functional (Stress Index>1) conditions of hyperinflation even with Plateau pressure (Pplat) < 30 cmH2O; values of Pplat lower than 26 cmH2O were associated with more a condition of more protective ventilation.

In patients at risk of hyperinflation, use of alternative techniques such as CO2-removal my allow the reduction of Tidal Volume (Vt) and Pplat.

Read the detailed description

Aim of the study was to verify the efficacy of CO2-removal technique in reducing Vt and consequently Pplat to obtain a Stress Index value equal to 1.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • protective ventilation with CO2 removal techniqueProcedure or surgery

    In ARDS patients, presenting a Pplat ≥ 26 cmH2O, Vt was lowered (reaching a Pplat < 26) with CO2-removal veno-venous pump-driven bypass support for 48 consecutive hours with a pH > 7,30 or at least 72 hours from the beginning of the extracorporeal treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. pulmonary inflammatory mediator reduction

    Measured: within the first 72 hours after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing protective ventilation with CO2 removal technique in people with Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University of Turin, Italy at 2 sites 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 1 inclusion and 12 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 12 Jan 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

pulmonary inflammatory mediator reduction (time frame: within the first 72 hours after enrollment). 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 NCT00465309, 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 12 Jan 2009.
