Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • 20 Man and women older than 18 years will be recruited.
  • Patients with acute respiratory failure of any cause who are mechanically ventilated according to the ARDS network recommendations will be considered for inclusion to the study.
  • To be included in the study a prerequisite of high peak Inspiratory pressure (plateau pressure of 25 to 30 cmH2O) has to be present, and at least one of the following four severity inclusion criteria has to be met.
  • 1 - Low Total Respiratory system compliance (CT), defined as less than 50ml/cmH2O. 2 - PaO2 /FIO2 ratio of less than 300. 3 - Need for a PEEP greater than 10 cmH2O to maintain SaO2 of > 90%. 4 - PCO2 over 60 mmHg, or PH less than 7.2 that is attributed to respiratory acidosis.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with any of the following will be excluded from the study. Previous lung or chest wall surgery, previous esophageal surgery, known Achalasia or any other esophageal motility or spasm disorder, presence of chest thoracostomy tube, and any significant chest wall abnormality such as kyphoskoliosis.

About this study

The aim of the study is to examine the effects of two different levels of PEEP on subsequent standard recruitment maneuver.

Read the detailed description

In this study we will examine the effects of two levels of PEEP on subsequent recruitment maneuver. In the first group a recruitment maneuver will be performed in patients who are ventilated with PEEP level set according to the ARDS network algorithm.

Patients will then be crossed over to a study arm where another recruitment maneuver will be performed while PEEP is adjusted according to esophageal pressure measurements.

What participants receive

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

  • PEEP guided by Esophageal pressure + Recruitment maneuverOther

    Upon patient recruitment Esophageal balloon will be inserted and esophageal / pleural pressure will be measured. Thereafter, Inspiratory pressures and PEEP will be adjusted according to well established criteria. Inspiratory pressure and PEEP will be adjusted to achieve the best lung compliance possible while not exceeding transpulmonary end Inspiratory pressure of 25 to 30 cm H2O, and at the same time maintaining a positive transpulmonary end expiarory pressure of not more than 5 cm H2O.

    A recruitment maneuver with application of 40 cm H2O for up to 40 seconds will be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. oxygenation

    the primary end point in both groups will be oxygenation improvement after each intervention in each arm.

    Measured: 4 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. lung compliance

    after each intervention lung compliance will be assessed.

    Measured: 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEP guided by Esophageal pressure + Recruitment maneuver in people with ARDS, run by Wolfson Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 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 Israel. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

oxygenation (time frame: 4 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 29 Nov 2012.
