About this study

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and mechanical ventilation can lead to right ventricular dysfunction and ultimately right ventricular failure by increasing pulmonary vascular resistances and pressure load. This can be prevented by modifying ventilator settings, using vasopressors or inotropes or even by prone positionning.But to do so, right ventricular dysfonction has to be detected. Echocardiography has emerged as a first line tool to diagnose right heart failure. Recently, strain analysis showed promising results to detect early right ventricle abnormalities in other settings such as pulmonary hypertension or scleroderma. We therefore decided to determine whether 2D strain could help detect early right ventricular dysfunction in ARDS.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01757522
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ARDS groupPatients under mechanical ventilation since less than 24 hours at inclusion and presenting acute respiratory distress syndrome criteria.
ALI groupPatients under mechanical ventilation and presenting acute lung injury criteria.
Control GroupPatients under mechanical ventilation for a non-respiratory cause

What is being measured

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

  1. Right ventricle 2D strain

    We will assess whether 2D strain can detect a right ventricular dysfunction as compared to standard echocardiographic parameters

    Measured: Duration of mechanical ventilation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mean right ventricle strain under ventilated patients

    We measure right ventricle strain (RV strain) in patients under mechanical ventilation for a non-respiratory cause. This allows us to determine the mean value of RV strain under ventilation when there is no respiratory failure.

    Measured: at inclusion

  2. Reproducibility between transthoracic and transesophageal strain measures

    In ARDS patients, we record a transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. We compare RV strain values obtained from transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.

    Measured: Time of mechanical ventilation

  3. NT pro BNP and pre pro endothelin plasma level

    These assays are made based on the hypothesis they could help discriminate between patients who will develop a right ventricular dysfunction from those who will not. A blood sample is withdrawn at the same time as echocardiography only in the ARDS group.

    Measured: At inclusion in ARDS patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Right Ventricular Dysfunction, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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 Nov 2022. 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 France. 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?

Right ventricle 2D strain (time frame: Duration of mechanical ventilation). 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 Nov 2022.
