Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if variability in heart and breathing rates can be used to predict successful weaning. We are collecting data to determine whether or not subtle differences in heart rate and respiratory function will help physicians to decide if a patient is ready to be weaned.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Mechanically ventilated patients weaning or near extubation (i.e. within 1-5 days) in the intensive care unit.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who have been requiring mechanical ventilation for >48 hours.
  • At least partial reversal of the condition precipitating invasive ventilation.
  • Stabilization of "other" organ system failures (i.e. no worsening).
  • The patient is able to tolerate pressure support ventilation ≤14 cm H2O (SpO2 ≥ 90% with FiO2 ≤ 40% and PEEP ≤ 10 cm H2O)
  • The patient is hemodynamically stable (off vasopressors or on low levels of vasopressors).
  • Stable neurological status (no deterioration in the last 24 hors, intact respiratory drive and ICP < 20).
  • The patient has intact airway reflexes (adequate cough with suctioning and a gag reflex).

Who cannot join

  • Allergy to skin adhesives or a contraindication to placing electrocardiogram adhesives (e.g. severe psoriasis).
  • Do not reintubate order documented on chart or anticipated withdrawal of life support.
  • Tracheostomy
  • Known or suspected severe myopathy or neuropathy (i.e. myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome) or quadriplegia.
  • Severe heart failure or Grade IV left ventricular function.
  • Prior extubation during ICU stay.

About this study

Official title: Weaning And Variability Evaluation

The purpose of this study is to determine if variability in heart and breathing rates can be used to predict successful weaning. We are collecting data to determine whether or not subtle differences in heart rate and respiratory function will help physicians to decide if a patient is ready to be weaned.

Read the detailed description

In this prospective observational pilot study, mechanically ventilated patients weaning or near extubation (i.e. within 1-5 days) were selected to undergo continuous heart rate (EKG waveform at 500 Hz) and respiratory rate (expired CO2 waveform at 100 Hz) recording. The data was collected as per standard practice by the bedside monitor (Phillips Intelivue MP70). A portable CPU with TrendfaceTM software was used to download the data for variability analysis. All decisions on timing of SBTs and extubation were left to the discretion of the treating team who were unaware of the variability results. SBT's were repeated daily from trial onset until extubation patient permitting.

What is being measured

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

  1. Continuous heart rate and respiratory rate waveforms

    Measured: at time of sponataneous breathing trial (at least 48 hours after intubation and within 24 hours of extubation)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Extubation, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 7 Jul 2017. 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 Canada. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Continuous heart rate and respiratory rate waveforms (time frame: at time of sponataneous breathing trial (at least 48 hours after intubation and within 24 hours of extubation)). 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 2017.
