Trial summary

Objectives: to compare intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) with synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation associated with pressure support (SIMV/PS) related to duration of mechanical ventilation/weaning and length of stay in PICU (LS).

Objectives: to compare intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) with synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation associated with pressure support (SIMV/PS) related to duration of mechanical ventilation/weaning and length of stay in PICU (LS). Design: randomized clinical trial. Setting: Pediatric intensive care unit at a university-affiliated hospital. Patients: children between 28 days and 4 years old, admitted between 10/2002 and 06/2004, and receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 48 hours. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups: IMV (IMVG; n=35) and SIMV/PS (SIMVG; n=35). Children with acute respiratory distress syndrome and tracheostomy were excluded. Ventilation and oxygenation data were recorded at admission and beginning of weaning. Results: Groups were not statistically different for age, gender, MV indications, PRISM score, COMFORT scale, sedatives, and ventilation and oxygenation parameters. Median of MV duration was 5 days for both groups (p>0.05). Also, there were no statistical differences for duration of weaning [IMVG: 1 day (1 - 6) vs. SIMVG: 1 day (1 - 6); p>0.05] and LS [IMVG: 8 days (2 - 22) vs. SIMVG: 6 days (3 - 20); p>0.05]. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference between IMV and SIMV/PS in these children related to MV and weaning duration, and PICU length of stay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) and synchronous IMV in people with Respiratory Failure, run by UPECLIN HC FM Botucatu Unesp at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 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 2 Jul 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 Brazil. 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?

duration of mechanical ventilation/weaning and length of stay in PICU (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT00549809, 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 2 Jul 2008.
