Trial summary

Previous research has shown that the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (IVCCI) can be used to assess volume status. One limitation of the previous work is that changes in intra-thoracic pressure can influence this measurement, and the magnitude of this effect has never been described. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of Mechanical Ventilation on the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index

Previous research has shown that the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (IVCCI) can be used to assess volume status. One limitation of the previous work is that changes in intra-thoracic pressure can influence this measurement, and the magnitude of this effect has never been described. The investigators aim is to correlate the degree of change in IVCCI with the set degree of change in intra-thoracic pressure in a heterogeneous population of critically ill patients.

Read the detailed description

Initially eligible patients will be those admitted to the OSU MICU and 8ICU within the prior 48 hours. These patients will be screened for predetermined exclusion criteria. Eligible patients will have their IVCCI measured and baseline peak and plateau pressures noted. For those patients meeting a second set of criteria, a common ventilator maneuver will be preformed. The positive end-expiratory pressure will be increased by 5-10 cm/H20 pressure. This procedure will be aborted if ANY safety criteria are exceeded. During the interval, the IVCCI will be re-measured, the ventilator settings will be recorded, and the ventilator will be return to the initial settings. Since changes of these same magnitude are made daily in clinical practice, the risks to the patients in this study will be minimal and no more than that experienced in the course of usual care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the effect of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure on intrathoracic pressure variables in patients with acute respiratory failure.

    1. Determine the effect on inferior vena cava collapsibility index of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure (and resultant change in mean airway pressure) in patients with acute respiratory failure.
    2. Determine the effect on central venous pressure of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure (and resultant change in mean airway pressure) in patients with acute respiratory failure.
    3. Determine the effect on mean airway pressure of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with acute respiratory failure.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determine the inter-rater reliability in obtaining inferior vena cava collapsibility index ultrasound images.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Determine the relationship between central venous pressure and inferior vena cava collapsibility index at varying levels of mean airway pressure (MAP).

    Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Failure, run by Naeem Ali, MD at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 5 Mar 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Determine the effect of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure on intrathoracic pressure variables in patients with acute respiratory failure. (time frame: 24 months). 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 5 Mar 2024.
