Trial summary

Failure of extubation after mechanical ventilation is a frequent and deleterious issue. Main reasons for failure are hypoxemia, secretions retention, lung collapse and excessive work of breathing. Most of this issues can be partly counterbalanced by a device named "High flow conditioned oxygen therapy (HFCO)". Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prevention of Post-extubation Respiratory Failure in High Risk Patients by High-flow Conditioned Oxygen Therapy Versus Standard Oxygen Therapy

Failure of extubation after mechanical ventilation is a frequent and deleterious issue. Main reasons for failure are hypoxemia, secretions retention, lung collapse and excessive work of breathing. Most of this issues can be partly counterbalanced by a device named "High flow conditioned oxygen therapy (HFCO)". Then, our hypothesis is that HFCO may reduce the incidence of respiratory failure after extubation in patients with high risk for failure.

Being tested
Optiflow (Fisher&Paykel), Nasal cannulae or controlled oxygen concentration mask
Keywords
Post-extubation respiratory failure, Endotracheal intubation, Mechanical ventilation
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Optiflow (Fisher&Paykel)Device

    Also called High Flow Conditioned Oxygen Therapy

    The described method of oxygen supply will be maintained continuously for the first 24 hours after extubation.

  • Nasal cannulae or controlled oxygen concentration maskDevice

    Also called Standard Oxygen Therapy

    The described method of oxygen supply will be maintained continuously for the first 24 hours after extubation.

Study groups in NCT01820507
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High Flow Conditioned Oxygen TherapyExperimentalIntervention: The Optiflow(R) device supplies oxygen in controlled concentrations and at high flow (from 10 to 70 liters/min) through special nasal cannulae. The device also humidifies the gases mixtures up to 100% relative humidity.
Receives: Device: Optiflow (Fisher&Paykel)
Standard Oxygen TherapyActive comparatorThe standard way of oxygen supply after extubation is either by nasal cannulae at flow between 1 and 5 liters/min or by mask with controlled oxygen concentration from 24% to 50%.
Receives: Device: Nasal cannulae or controlled oxygen concentration mask

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory failure after extubation

    Severe hypoxemia (PaO2/Fraction of inspired O2 < 200), hypercapnia (PaCO2 > 50), respiratory acidosis (arterial pH < 7.30), severe tachypnea (>40x')

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Survival

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optiflow (Fisher&Paykel) in people with Respiratory Failure, run by Althaia Xarxa Assistencial Universitària de Manresa at 1 site in Spain.

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 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jan 2015. 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 Spain. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment, interim analysis). 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?

Respiratory failure after extubation (time frame: 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01820507, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Jan 2015.
