About this study

Official title: Energy Expenditure During Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation: Is There Any Difference Between Pressure Support and T-Tube?

During weaning from mechanical ventilation process, the energy expenditure in T tube is greater than pressure support ventilation.

Read the detailed description

The energy expenditure (EE) was measured during the two periods of 30-minutes, with the 10 first minutes being discarded for analysis purposes. The other variables were recorded and monitored during the 10th and the 30th minute, in both pressure support (PS) and t-Tube (TT) modes. Patients were randomized in terms of sequence selection: PS - TT or TT - PS. In the baseline period, patients were receiving mechanical ventilation (Servo 900C and Servo 300; Siemens-Elema, Solna, Sweden), with PS ranging from 10 to 15cmH2O. During the PS mode, patients received assisted pressure ventilation of 10 cmH2O, 5 cmH2O of final positive expiratory pressure, the sensitivity of -1cmH2O and FiO2 of 0.4. During TT mode, oxygen flow was delivered in order to keep the same FiO2 that was provided in PS (0.4) as controlled by monitor screen (Datex Ohmeda S/5 - Compact Airway Module, M-COVX model, Finland). In this mode, an extensor was employed, one end of which was connected to the oxygen-enriched and the other end was secured to a 3-output ("T") connector, which was attached to the patient's ventilatory prosthesis. During the rest period (30 minutes), patients returned to the mechanical ventilation parameters utilized in the baseline period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiration, Artificial and Energy Metabolism, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre 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 27 Feb 2009. 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.

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.

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 27 Feb 2009.
