Trial summary

The objective of this study is to assess whether there is a difference between a care protocol with the use of incentive spirometry (Voldyne ®) and another with the application of NIV (non invasive ventilation with single-level pressure) as a form of therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Incentive Spirometry Decreases Respiratory Complications After Myocardial Revascularization

The objective of this study is to assess whether there is a difference between a care protocol with the use of incentive spirometry (Voldyne ®) and another with the application of NIV (non invasive ventilation with single-level pressure) as a form of therapy. The main focus of the study is to determine the incidence of pulmonary complications in each technique.

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) can prolong and improve the quality of life of patients with ischemic coronary syndrome but with the advancement of medical intervention to eligible patients for this procedure are those with more comorbidities where conservation and palliative therapies have been tried without success.

Patients undergoing CABG often develop pulmonary complications such as atelectasis, restrictive ventilatory defect, decreased lung compliance, increased shunt and changes in gas exchange leading to probable hypoxemia. In an attempt to reduce the harmful effects and pulmonary complications arising from surgical procedures is instituted extensive physiotherapy program that tracks and monitors such patients from the preoperative to the postoperative immediate transfer to the ward and hospital discharge.

The objective of this study is to assess whether there is a difference between a care protocol with the use of incentive spirometry (Voldyne ®) and another with the application of NIV (non invasive ventilation with single-level pressure) as a form of therapy. The main focus of the study is to determine the incidence of pulmonary complications in each technique.

What participants receive

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

  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) facial maskProcedure or surgery

    Also called CPAP

    After extubation, starting non-invasive ventilation with face mask (1 hour) followed by assisted cough maneuver. Total of 18 calls in 72 hours distributed as long the patient was extubated.

  • Assisted deep inspiration techniqueProcedure or surgery

    Also called Voldyne

    After extubation, starting early supplemental oxygen with Venturi (FiO2 50%) with gradual weaning, applying assisted deep inspiration technique with Voldyne(R) with four sets of 10 repetitions and assisted cough maneuver. Total of 18 calls in 72 hours distributed as long the patient was extubated.

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Exams

    Assessment of (Sat O2) capillary saturation, (ABG) arterial blood gases.

    Measured: 72 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) facial mask and Assisted deep inspiration technique in people with Pneumonia and Pleural Effusion, run by Santa Casa de Votuporanga at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 7 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 19 Nov 2014. 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 Brazil. 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?

Pulmonary complications (time frame: 72 hours). 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 19 Nov 2014.
