About this study

Official title: Adaptive Support Ventilation vs. Conventional Ventilation Strategy in the Management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome:A Randomized Controlled Trial

Prospective randomized controlled trial to be conducted in the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (RICU) of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education And Research (PGIMER),Chandigarh. The study is approved by the Institute Ethics committee. In view of lack of previous outcome data in such patients, all patients requiring RICU admission for acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) between January 2010 and June 2011 are being enrolled in this pilot study.

The patients meeting the aforementioned criteria will randomly assigned to ventilation with assist control mode ventilation (ACMV group) as per the ARDSnet strategy or adaptive support ventilation (ASV group). Being the first RCT of its type, patients will be first stabilized on ACMV for 1 hour to determine the adequate minute ventilation. The randomization sequence will be computer generated. The assignments will placed in sealed opaque envelopes and each patient's assignment was made on admission to the RICU by the attending physician. Blinding of treatment is not possible.

All patients will be ventilated only by Galileo Gold ventilators (Hamilton medical systems, Bonaduz, Switzerland). Patients randomized to the ACMV group will be ventilated according to low tidal volume strategy of 6ml/kg with Fio2/PEEP as per ARDSnet table to achieve a saturation between 88-95% with the lowest possible Fio2 to maintain plateau pressures < 30 cms H2o and PH > 7.3 with option to reduce tidal volume to 4 ml/kg and increase respiratory rate to 35/ min to achieve the above said goals11.These patients will be weaned as per standard protocol of spontaneous breathing trial of 30 minutes once they are recognized eligible as per statement of the sixth International consensus conference on weaning.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing type of mechanical ventilation in people with Respiration, Artificial and Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult, 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 4 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 20 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 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of mechanical ventilation (time frame: up to 4 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01165528, 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 20 Jul 2010.
