Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate physiological variables to the decision about the appropriate time to discontinuation of mechanical ventilation in patients with traumatic brain injury. It is expected that these variables are effective in predicting the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Integrated Predictive Index of Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Traumatic Brain Injury

The purpose of this study is to evaluate physiological variables to the decision about the appropriate time to discontinuation of mechanical ventilation in patients with traumatic brain injury. It is expected that these variables are effective in predicting the outcome of weaning from mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated pressure index of airway occlusion x index breathing fast and shallow (p 0.1 x f/VT) in predicting success and failure of weaning from mechanical ventilation in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Traumatic Brain Injury and Weaning Failure, run by Federal University of Uberlandia 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 13 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2012. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact camila marques dias (55 34 33388655, camilamd15@yahoo.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Result weaning mechanical ventilation in patients with traumatic brain injury,analyzing success and failure of weaning by 0.1 p and f / VT. (time frame: 8 months). 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 2012.
