Trial summary

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a severe lung disease caused by a variety of direct and indirect issues. It is characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma leading to impaired gas exchange and persistent hypoxemia. This condition is often fatal, usually requiring mechanical ventilation.

About this study

Official title: Stepwise PEEP Elevation With Determination of the Alveolar Collapsing Pressure Versus Sustained Lung Inflation as a Recruitment Maneuver in Patients With ARDS

Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a severe lung disease caused by a variety of direct and indirect issues. It is characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma leading to impaired gas exchange and persistent hypoxemia. This condition is often fatal, usually requiring mechanical ventilation. Recruitment maneuver aimed to enhance the effect of mechanical ventilation.The objective of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of two lung recruitment maneuvers.

Read the detailed description

In patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), protective lung strategy and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) therapy should be started as early as possible to avoid lung damage by high pressures, volumes and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2). Recruitment is a strategy aiming at re-expanding the collapsed lung tissue and then maintaining an adequate level of PEEP to prevent subsequent de-recruitment. The objective of this study was to compare safety and efficacy of two lung recruitment maneuvers (RM): stepwise PEEP elevation with determination of the alveolar collapsing pressure versus sustained lung inflation in ARDS patients

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Recruitment maneuverProcedure or surgery

    group I: Recruitment by CPAP 30 cm/H2o for 30 seconds group II: Using pressure controlled ventilation with end-inspiratory minus end-expiratory pressure of 15 cmH2O, respiratory rate of 10-15 C / min. PEEP was increased by 5 cm/ H2O every 2 minutes till Maximum of 40 cmH2O, patient was considered recruited if PaO2 of 250 mmHg was achieved. Then progressive decreases of PEEP in steps of 2 cmH2O every 2 minutes till PaO2 dropped by a 10% or more (alveolar collapsing pressure)

  • recruitment maneuverProcedure or surgery

    recruitment as done by CPAP 30 cm/ H2o for 30 seconds or by stepwise elevation of PEEP by 5 cm/ H20 till 40 Cm/ H2o

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Recruitment maneuver in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University of Alexandria at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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 15 Jun 2011. 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 Egypt. 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?

All cause mortality (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 NCT01373905, 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 15 Jun 2011.
