About this study

Official title: Effects of Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation on Hemodynamics and Gas Exchanges Parameters After Cardiac Surgery in Patients With Relative Hypoxemia

Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) has been used in hypoxic post-operative cardiac patients but more studies are necessary to clarify its respiratory and hemodynamic effects. Therefore, the investigators objective was to study its effects in the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and in hemodynamic variables in this group of patients.

Read the detailed description
  • Postoperative cardiac surgery patients having a Swan-Ganz catheter and showing a PaO2/FiO2 between 150 and 300 (with FIO2 0.31), one hour after extubation, were included.
  • Then, the patients were randomized into two groups: control and intervention group. Intervention group used NIV with a bi-level positive airway pressure (an inspiratory pressure to generate a tidal volume of 6ml/kg and an expiratory pressure of 7cmH2O) with a FIO2 0.4. Control group used oxygen by Venturi mask(FIO2 0.4) in order to keep a good oxygenation.
  • In both groups measurements were done in basal situation, one and three hours after beginning the treatment and one hour after stop the treatment (FiO2 0.31).
  • Variables studied included: PaO2/FiO2, PaO2, PaCO2, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and cardiac output (CO).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VPAP II® in people with Heart; Dysfunction Postoperative, Cardiac Surgery, run by Irmandade Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Porto Alegre 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 25 Oct 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 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?

Oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) (time frame: 5 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 25 Oct 2011.
