About this study

Official title: Respiratory Mechanical Effects of Sevoflurane Administered With the Anesthetic Conserving Device in Pressure Support Ventilation

Sevoflurane inhalational anesthetic has got pulmonary effects such as bronchodilatation. These effects could be of interest in intensive care patients ventilated in pressure support ventilation mode. The purpose of this study is to evaluate mechanical respiratory effects of sevoflurane administered through a new specific heat and moister exchanger called the Anesthetic Conserving Device (AnaConDa®) in pressure support ventilation in intensive care patients. In fact, dead space and resistance generated by the device could cancel and even deteriorate the potential positive effects of sevoflurane on ventilation.

Read the detailed description

Pharmacological sedation is often necessary in mechanical ventilated intubated patient. Since a little time, sevoflurane can be used in the intensive care unit via a specific heat and moister exchanger called the Anesthetic Conserving Device (AnaConDa®, SedanaMedical AB, Uppsala, Sweden) placed between the Y piece of the ventilatory circuit and the endotracheal tube. Sevoflurane is known to have ventilatory interesting effects such as bronchodilatation that can be useful in the treatment of severe asthma. These effects could be of interest in the intensive care ventilated patients. On the other hand, the AnaConDa® device could have negative influence on ventilatory mechanics caused by the increased dead space and the resistance to air flow. This negative effect with worsening of work of breathing (WOB) was demonstrated with classic heat and moister exchanger compared to heated humidifiers in pressure support ventilation (PSV). In this way, we would like to study the mechanical effects of the sevoflurane administered with the AnaConDa® compared to a classic management with a heated humidifier and sedation with intravenous remifentanil in PSV consecutive intensive care patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Anesthetic Conserving Device in people with Intensive Care Ventilation, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in 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 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 4 Sep 2013. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Work Of Breathing (WOB) measured during the last 5 minutes of the 20 minutes period of each treatment (time frame: during the last 5 minutes of the 20 minutes period of each treatment). 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 NCT01017744, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Sep 2013.
