About this study

Comparison of the ability of a new automated ventilatory mode named Intellibrain to maintain capnia and oxgen partial pressure within predefined ranges in comparison to the control of capnia and oxgen partial pressure obtained by using standard controlled ventilation modes in brain injured patients. Comparison of the numbers of alarms and required settings modifications observed with each ventilatory mode.

What is being measured

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

  1. Partial pressure of carbon dioxide

    The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) will be recorded every thirty minutes during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Partial pressure of oxygen

    The partial pressure of oxygen (PaCO2) will be recorded every thirty minutes during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

  2. Number of alarms generated by the ventilator

    The number of alarms generated by the ventilator will be recorded during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

  3. Number of settings modifications

    The number of ventilator settings modifications required will be recorded during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

  4. Intracranial pressure

    Intracranial pressure will be recorded continuously during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

  5. Respiratory parameters

    Various respiratory parameters tidal volume, respiratory rate, minute ventilation, airway pressure) will be recorded during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

  6. Cerebral vasoreactivity

    Cerebral vasoreactivity will be studied from the intracranial pressure and invasive arterial pressure curves recorded during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

  7. Partial pressure of oxygen in the brain tissue if available

    Partial pressure of oxygen in the brain tissue, if available for clinical reasons, will be recorded during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

  8. Number of therapeutic actions needed to reduce intracranial pressure

    The number of therapeutic actions needed to reduce intracranial pressure will be recorded during two hours under standard controlled ventilation and during two hours under Intellivent ventilation.

  9. Cerebral perfusion pressure

    Cerebral perfusion pressure will be recorded continuously during 2 hours under standard controlled ventilation and during 2 hours under Intellivent ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intellivent in people with Brain Injured Patients, run by Prof. Philippe Jolliet at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 4 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 8 May 2017. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide. 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 8 May 2017.
