About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation in the prevention of extubation failure and mortality in patients with chronic respiratory disorders and hypercapnic respiratory failure during spontaneous breathing.

Read the detailed description

Background and aims: Patients with chronic respiratory disorders, intubated and mechanically-ventilated in intensive care units (ICU), often exhibit hypercapnia during the spontaneous breathing trial prior to extubation; this is associated to increased incidence of extubation failure and mortality. We will assess the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in the prevention of extubation failure and mortality in these patients. Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial with two groups: support with noninvasive ventilation, and conventional clinical management (control group). Subjects: Patients with chronic respiratory disorders, intubated and ventilated ³48 hours, with hypercapnia (PaCO2 >45 mmHg) during the spontaneous breathing trial, ready to be extubated. Interventions: Random allocation into two groups: NIV immediately after extubation during 24 hours, on conventional clinical management. Clinical follow-up (incidence of extubation failure, reintubation, ICU and hospital mortality, 90-day survival, complications associated to mechanical ventilation, ICU and hospital length of stay). Analyses of data: Comparison between two groups (NIV and control) in non-paired data design: quantitative variables (t-test, Mann-Whitney test, ROC curves), qualitative or categorical variables (chi square, Fisher's exact test), and Kaplan-Meier estimate of survival curves).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non-invasive ventilation in people with Respiratory Failure, run by Hospital Clinic of Barcelona at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 May 2008. 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 Spain. 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.

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?

Primary outcome: The incidence of respiratory failure after extubation (time frame: 3 days after extubation). 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 NCT00539708, 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 May 2008.
