What participants receive

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

  • Airway Pressure Release VentilationDevice

    Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) also known as Bi-Vent or Bi-Level ventilation is a time-cycled, pressure-limited mode of ventilation that allows spontaneous respiration throughout the ventilator cycle.

  • ARDSnet protocolDevice

    ARDSnet protocol

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint will be the number of ventilator-free days.

    Measured: from randomization to study termination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. effects of ventilator mode on ventilation

    Measured: duration of ventilatory assistance

  2. duration of ICU stay

    Measured: time in ICU

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Airway Pressure Release Ventilation and ARDSnet protocol in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Lung Injury, run by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

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 5 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Aug 2009.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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.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?

The primary endpoint will be the number of ventilator-free days. (time frame: from randomization to study termination). 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 25 Aug 2009.
