About this study

Official title: Predictive Value of the Extra-Vascular Lung Water (EVLW) for the Alveolar Recruitment in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ( ARDS ).

  • ARDS is a severe pathology with high mortality and morbidity.Actual ventilatory management is clear for the set of the tidal volume and for the survey of the plateau pressure for the patients who require mechanical ventilation.
  • The set of the PEEP (low or high levels) remains unclear : it seems that some patients need low levels of PEEP whereas anther need high levels; but there is no validated data that can discriminate them.
  • We hypothesized that patients with low levels of EVLW ( measured with the Picco® system ) need low level of PEEP to ameliorate their oxygenation ( measured with the PaO2/FiO2 ratio ) whereas patients with high levels of EVLW) need high levels of PEEP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimate the Lung Water Extra-Vascular as predictive marker of the answer (Variation of needs in oxygen) to the ventilatory strategy: the low level, and high level of pressure positive expiratory, in the SDRA

    Measured: During all the period of stay of the patient Intensive care unit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France.

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 14 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Estimate the Lung Water Extra-Vascular as predictive marker of the answer (Variation of needs in oxygen) to the ventilatory strategy: the low level, and high level of pressure positive expiratory, in the SDRA (time frame: During all the period of stay of the patient Intensive care unit). 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 17 Sep 2009.
