Trial summary

Flow proportional pressure support (FPPS) is a new mode of spontaneous breathing assistance. In patients with increased respiratory resistance the role of FPPS in comparison with the pressure support assist breathing mode is still unclear. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Flow Proportional Pressure Support as a New Mode of Spontaneous Breathing Assist - Evaluation of Objective and Subjective Measured Data in Volunteers

Flow proportional pressure support (FPPS) is a new mode of spontaneous breathing assistance. In patients with increased respiratory resistance the role of FPPS in comparison with the pressure support assist breathing mode is still unclear. In this study the investigators evaluate objective and subjective measured data in healthy volunteers with artificial increased resistance and FPPS breathing assistance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing artificial increased resistance (flow proportional pressure support) in people with Healthy, run by University Hospital Freiburg at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 20 Mar 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 Germany. 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 Daniel Steinmann, MD (0049 761 270 2329, daniel.steinmann@uniklinik-freiburg.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

pressure support (time frame: 3 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 NCT00866541, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 20 Mar 2009.
