About this study

Official title: Impact of Alveolar Recruitment Maneuver on Extravascular Lung Water of Patients With Acute Lung Injury/Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of extravascular lung water (EVLW), cytokine and oxygenation parameters in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after alveolar recruitment maneuver.

Read the detailed description

This investigation is a prospective randomized control study. Informed consents will be obtained from all patients or their surrogates prior to the procedure of alveolar recruitment maneuver and PiCCO monitoring system.

Patients and methods:

From September 2010 to September 2012, consecutive patients with ALI/ARDS undergo alveolar recruitment maneuver will be enrolled at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, a university-affiliated hospital in Taiwan. EVLW will be measured by PiCCO monitoring system, alveolar recruitment maneuver will be setting by protocol under supervision of chest physicians and respiratory therapists. Serum cytokine such as endothelin-1, TNF-, IL-6, Tie-1, Tie-2, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2,VEGF and thrombomodulin will be measured.

Being tested
Recruitment maneuver, without recruit maneuver
Medical subject headings
Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Acute Lung Injury

What participants receive

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

  • Recruitment maneuverBehavioural

    Recruitment maneuver will be performed immediately (within 2 minutes) after intubation, consisting of a continuous positive airway pressure of 40 cmH2O over 30 seconds.

  • without recruit maneuverOther

    After oral intubation, each patient will be mechanically ventilated, with a tidal volume of 6mL/kg, a respiratory rate of 20 to 25 breaths/minute, a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O, and an FiO2 of 100%. PEEP titration according to FiO2 and ARDSnet.

With recruitment maneuver groupExperimentalRecruitment maneuver will be performed immediately (within 2 minutes) after intubation, consisting of a continuous positive airway pressure of 40 cmH2O over 30 seconds. Blood gases were sampled and blood samples taken for culture before, within 2 minutes, 5 minutes, and 30 minutes after intubation. Haemodynamic and respiratory parameters were continuously recorded throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Extravascular lung water change with/without recruitment maneuver.

    The Extrvascular lung water (EVLW) measurement will be based on transpulmonary thermodilution method. This method was recently introduced as part of the PiCCO plus system (Pulsion Medical System, Munich, Germany). EVLW were recorded and compared between patients with and without recruitment manevuer.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. cytokines change with/without recruitment maneuver.

    From September 2010 to September 2012, consecutive patients with ALI/ARDS undergo recruitment maneuver or not randomly will be enrolled. Serum cytokine such as endothelin-1, TNF-, IL-6, Tie-1, Tie-2, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2,VEGF and thrombomodulin will be measured. Further ventilator use duration, weaning rate, ICU stay, safety and ICU survival were recorded and compared between patients with and without recruitment manevuer.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. ventilator use duration

    From September 2010 to September 2012, consecutive patients with ALI/ARDS undergo recruitment maneuver or not randomly will be enrolled. Serum cytokine such as endothelin-1, TNF-, IL-6, Tie-1, Tie-2, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2,VEGF and thrombomodulin will be measured. Further ventilator use duration, weaning rate, ICU stay, safety and ICU survival were recorded and compared between patients with and without recruitment manevuer.

    Measured: 28days

  3. weaning rate

    From September 2010 to September 2012, consecutive patients with ALI/ARDS undergo recruitment maneuver or not randomly will be enrolled. Serum cytokine such as endothelin-1, TNF-, IL-6, Tie-1, Tie-2, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2,VEGF and thrombomodulin will be measured. Further ventilator use duration, weaning rate, ICU stay, safety and ICU survival were recorded and compared between patients with and without recruitment manevuer.

    Measured: 28days

  4. ICU stay

    From September 2010 to September 2012, consecutive patients with ALI/ARDS undergo recruitment maneuver or not randomly will be enrolled. Serum cytokine such as endothelin-1, TNF-, IL-6, Tie-1, Tie-2, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2,VEGF and thrombomodulin will be measured. Further ventilator use duration, weaning rate, ICU stay, safety and ICU survival were recorded and compared between patients with and without recruitment manevuer.

    Measured: 28days

  5. ICU survival

    From September 2010 to September 2012, consecutive patients with ALI/ARDS undergo recruitment maneuver or not randomly will be enrolled. Serum cytokine such as endothelin-1, TNF-, IL-6, Tie-1, Tie-2, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2,VEGF and thrombomodulin will be measured. Further ventilator use duration, weaning rate, ICU stay, safety and ICU survival were recorded and compared between patients with and without recruitment manevuer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Recruitment maneuver and without recruit maneuver in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Lung Injury, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 6 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 17 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Taiwan. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Extravascular lung water change with/without recruitment maneuver. (time frame: 7 days). 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 17 Sep 2013.
