Mechanical Ventilation in Brain-injured Patients
An observational study of Brain-injury and Stroke, run by Nantes University Hospital at 22 sites in France.
Trial summary
Protective ventilation (association of a tidal volume < 8 ml/kg with a positive end expiratory pressure) is poorly used in severe brain-injured patients. Moreover, a systematic approach to extubation may decrease the rate of extubation failure and enhance outcomes of brain-injured patients. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Duration of Mechanical Ventilation and Mortality Among Brain-injured Patients - a Before-after Evaluation of a Quality Improvement Project
Protective ventilation (association of a tidal volume < 8 ml/kg with a positive end expiratory pressure) is poorly used in severe brain-injured patients. Moreover, a systematic approach to extubation may decrease the rate of extubation failure and enhance outcomes of brain-injured patients.
We hypothesized that medical education and implementation of an evidence-base care bundle associating protective ventilation and systemic approach to extubation can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation in brain-injured patients.
Read the detailed description
A before/after study design will be used. The before period (control phase) will consisted of all consecutive patients with severe brain-injury who were admitted to the participating ICUs.
During the interphase, all physicians, residents, physiotherapists and nurses will receive a formal training for the processes and procedures related to the 2 point bundle: protective ventilation and systematic approach to extubation (according to recommendation for the use of tidal volume < 7 ml/kg and of a positive expiratory pressure = 6 to 8 cmH20 (centimeter of water) and extubation as soon as ventilatory weaning is associated with a glasgow coma scale equal or above 10 and cought).
The after period consisted of all consecutive severe brain-injured patients admitted to the participating ICUs after the formal training.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 22 sites 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?
Mechanical ventilatory free days (time frame: Day-90). 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 NCT01885507, 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 23 Feb 2015.
