About this study

Official title: Influence of Positive End-expiratory Pressure on the Cerebrovascular Autoregulation in Patients With Respiratory Failure

The aim of the present study is to characterize the influence of an elevated positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome or acute lung injury on the cerebrovascular autoregulation.

Read the detailed description

Cerebral blood flow velocity will be measured using transcranial Doppler sonography and then correlate with the invasive arterial blood pressure curve to calculate the index of cerebrovascular autoregulation Mx (Mx>0.3 indicates impaired AR). The index of cerebrovascular autoregulation Mx was measured during baseline positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) levels and after lung recruitment with higher level of PEEP. The equality between this two PEEP levels was estimated and calculated with one side Wilcoxon test.

What is being measured

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

  1. Integrity of the cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA)

    Cerebrovascular autoregulation will be calculated as a moving correlation index (Mx) from the cerebral blood flow velocity and the arterial blood pressure. It is a parameter without unit (index).

    Measured: 30 Minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Insufficiency, run by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz at 1 site in Germany.

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 22 Jun 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

Integrity of the cerebrovascular autoregulation (CA) (time frame: 30 Minutes). 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 NCT01376518, 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 22 Jun 2020.
