About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether helmet is effective as device for noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in the weaning from mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

The clinical efficacy of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been demonstrated. Interest has emerged in using NPPV to facilitate earlier removal of an endotracheal tube and decrease complications associated with prolonged intubation. Studies assessing NPPV in weaning are not enough and generally are performed with face masks as device for NPPV. This study assesses the efficacy of helmet as device for NPPV during weaning from mechanical ventilation in an ICU and compares this procedure with invasive mechanical complication (IMV) by analyzing respiratory parameters, clinical course and complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Helmet and Endotracheal tube in people with Inadequate or Impaired Breathing Pattern or Ventilation, run by University of Padova 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 4 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 31 Jan 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Weaning using noninvasive positive pressure ventilation by means of helmet in patients with acute respiratory failure (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT01322659, 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 31 Jan 2013.
