About this study

Official title: Positive End-expiratory Pressure Induced Lung Recruitment -Comparison Between Ultrasonographic Assessment and Lower Inflection Point Assessment on the Pressure -Volume Loop

The purpose of this study is to compare lung recruitment in acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) based on lower inflection point with transthoracic ultrasonographic assessment of lung recruitment.

Read the detailed description

Sedated and sometimes temporary relaxed patients with ALI/ARDS on mechanical ventilation in semirecumbent position are included. Lower inflection point on pressure volume loop on ventilator Draeger Evita 4 with low continuous flow on volume controlled ventilation is measured with zero PEEP. Transthoracic lung ultrasound with linear probe is proceed on both hemithoraces when mechanical ventilation based on measured PEEP is started. We compare if real lung recruitment seen by ultrasound is the same as predicted by lower inflection point.

The procedure is a part of routine everyday respiratory monitoring in our unit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Sisters of Mercy University Hospital at 1 site in Croatia.

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 1 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 23 Nov 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 Croatia. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01478217, 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 23 Nov 2011.
