About this study

Official title: Prospective, Open, Uncontrolled, Non-randomized and Monocentric Trial on the Efficacy and the Inflammatory Effects of a Lung Recruitment Manoeuvre in Mechanical Ventilated Patients With Respiratory Failure

Recruitment manoeuvres, consisting of sustained inflations at high airway pressures, have been advocated as an adjunct to mechanical ventilation in lung protective ventilation strategies to prevent the collapse of the lung.

This study aims to determine the safety and efficacy of a recruitment manoeuvre, by considering its impact on gas exchange, hemodynamics and on the release of systemic inflammatory mediators.

Read the detailed description

This prospective study will analyse the effects of a single recruitment manoeuvre in critically ill patients. Subjects will be mechanically ventilated patients needing alveolar RMs. After a period of stable lung protective approach ventilation, they will receive the "40/30" RM; lung mechanics, gas exchange, hemodynamics and plasmatic concentration of inflammatory mediators will be obtained before and after the RM. An ultrasound score, established from the lung aeration status of upper and lower parts of anterior and lateral chest wall, will also be calculated before and after the manoeuvre.In selected patients cytokine release in the bronchoalveolar lavage will be measured as well.

  3. Lung mechanics (Peak pressure, Mean pressure, Compliance, Resistance) Gas exchange (pH, PaO2, PaCO2, HCO3-, SaO2, PaO2/FiO2) Haemodynamics (Mean arterial pressure, Heart rate)

    Measured: T0 (baseline), T1 (30 secs), T2 (1 hr), T3 (2 hrs)

  4. Echographic score of lung aeration

    Measured: T0 (baseline), T2 (1 hr), T4 (3 hrs)

  5. Chest X-Ray

    Measured: T6 (24 hrs)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Levels of IL-1, IL6, IL-8, IL-19, TNFa in the bronchoalveolar lavage

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 40/30 recruitment manoeuvre and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in people with Respiratory Insufficiency and Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult, run by Azienda Ospedaliero, Universitaria Pisana at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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 7 Jul 2010. 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 Italy. 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 Francesco Forfori (+39050993234, forforiden@libero.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plasmatic concentration of inflammatory mediators IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNFa (time frame: T0 (baseline), T4 (3 hrs), T5 (12 hrs)). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jul 2010.
