An observational study of Respiratory Failure, run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Although patient-ventilator asynchrony is a frequent phenomenon, its course following management is unknown. As the aid of a data recording system, we try to observe the consequence of patient-ventilator asynchrony following management. Read more about this study

  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Between March 2008 through December 2008, patients admitted to our respiratory intensive care unit for the management of acute respiratory failure were daily screened for the presence of patient-ventilator asynchrony.

Who may be able to join

  • patients admitted to respiratory intensive care unit with acute respiratory failure and presence of patient-ventilator asynchrony(AI of more than 10%)
  • patient can trigger the ventilator

Who cannot join

  • High oxygen fraction: > 60%.
  • High PEEP need: > 12cmH2O.
  • Hemodynamic unstable: shock

About this study

Although patient-ventilator asynchrony is a frequent phenomenon, its course following management is unknown. As the aid of a data recording system, we try to observe the consequence of patient-ventilator asynchrony following management. Our target is aimed at the patients with high asynchronization index ( > 10%) as this group of patients have been shown to have prolonged course in intensive care unit and are also prone to be tracheostomized

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Failure, run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kuang Ming Liao, MD (886-6-235-3535 ext. 2588, abc8870@yahoo.com.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Asynchrony index (AI). (Number of asynchrony events/total respiratory rate) (time frame: 20 minutes after alternation of ventilator settings or any therapeutic means). 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 23 May 2008.
