Trial summary

The hypothesis of this study is that respiratory physiotherapy can promote improvement in respiratory mechanics in children with respiratory failure and the bag squeezing maneuver is more effective in improving respiratory mechanics in childrens and does not alter the hemodynamic proved safe Read more about this study

What participants receive

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

  • Bag SqueezingOther

    Also called BS

    To perform the BS technique, we used a Protec® manual inflation bag with a flow of 10 L / min and 100% oxygen. A Commercial Medical® manometer was adapted between the orotracheal tube and the inflation bag to monitor the inflation pressure which was recommendedat 30 cmH2O for all children of the BS group. Initially we instilled at most 0.5 ml saline solution(SS) at 0.9% followed by 10 manual hyperinflation maneuvers interspersed with 10 vibrocompression maneuvers and as a last procedure, we performed an aspiration of the orotracheal tube airways and mouth. Between the aspirations the child was re-connected to the ventilator.

  • Thoracic vibrocompressionOther

    Also called TVC

    To perform the TVC technique, we applied 10 vibrocompression maneuvers on the chest of the children during the expiratory phase of the respiratory cycle, on each of the lateral decubitus position, totaling 20 maneuvers, followed by aspiration in the dorsal decubitus position. All measurements in both study groups were performed with the child connected to the ventilator. Before starting the maneuver BS or TVC the child received an increase of 20% fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) from what was received previously in MV and after data collection FiO2 returned to baseline values.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effects of Bag Squeezing and vibrocompression chest in hemodynamic, resistance and respiratory system compliance

    All variables were assessed prior to the proposed technique (pre-maneuver), immediately after the execution of the technique randomly chosen (post-maneuver), 30, 60 and 120 after the end of the technique randomly chosen. The mean of three readings was used as the representative value for each variable. All children were ventilated with the same mechanical Dixtal® DX3020 Brazil ventilator

    Measured: one hundred twenty minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. comparing all variables between the two groups

    Measured: one hundred twenty minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bag Squeezing and Thoracic vibrocompression in people with Respiratory Insufficiency and Children, run by Federal University of Uberlandia.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Terminated). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Effects of Bag Squeezing and vibrocompression chest in hemodynamic, resistance and respiratory system compliance (time frame: one hundred twenty minutes). 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 21 Dec 2012.
