About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial on Weaning by Pressure Support Reduction Versus Spontaneous Breathing Trials in a Respiratory ICU

This study is a comparison of two most commonly used modes of weaning and the outcomes in the two groups.

Read the detailed description

Patients ventilated for more than 24 hours are randomized into two groups - one group of patients undergo gradual reduction of pressure support and in the other, T tube trials are used for weaning. The outcomes are compared in the two groups.

Being tested
Pressure support ventilation, Spontaneous breathing trials

What participants receive

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

  • Pressure support ventilationProcedure or surgery

    Also called weaning by reduction of pressure support

    These patients are weaned by gradual reduction of pressure support and extubated when they tolerate a pressure support of 7 cm of water for one hour.

  • Spontaneous breathing trialsProcedure or surgery

    Also called Weaning by T-piece trials

    These patients are weaned by giving a T piece trial with 8 cm of water pressure support and extubated when they tolerate it for one hour.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of weaning failure

    Measured: 48 hours from extubation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Occurence of ventilator associated pneumonia

    Measured: Until the date of discharge from hospital

  2. Reintubation rates

    Measured: 48 hours

  3. Mortality rates

    Measured: Until the time of discharge from hospital

  4. Duration from start of weaning to extubation

    Measured: In hospital stay

  5. Role of various factors that may influence the weaning outcome and hence predict the probability of successful weaning in a patient

    Measured: during ICU stay

  6. The influence of weaning outcome on mortality and the other complications of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: during hospital stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pressure support ventilation and Spontaneous breathing trials in people with Respiration, Artificial and Ventilator Weaning, run by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh at 1 site in India.

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 3 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 22 Jun 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 India. 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 Dr. Ritesh Agarwal, MD, DM (+919914209825, riteshpgi@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of weaning failure (time frame: 48 hours from extubation). 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 NCT00911378, which also lists 3 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 22 Jun 2009.
