Trial summary

Introduction: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been used to minimize such impairment and increasing ventilator reserve in individuals with heart failure. Aim: To analyze thoracoabdominal kinematics (TK) in individuals with HF associated to cardiomegaly after using NIV. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Noninvasive Ventilation in Thoracic-abdominal Kinematics of Individuals With Heart Failure Associated With Cardiomegaly: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Introduction: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been used to minimize such impairment and increasing ventilator reserve in individuals with heart failure. Aim: To analyze thoracoabdominal kinematics (TK) in individuals with HF associated to cardiomegaly after using NIV. Methods: A randomized crossover clinical trial with allocation consisted of two experimental phases: NIV and control, 7 days apart of each other. During NIV phase, 30 minutes of bi-level ventilation was performed. Any type of ventilator support was offered during control phase. Optoeletronic plethismography was performed to asses TK.

What participants receive

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

  • Noninvasive ventilationOther

    In the experimental phase with NIV ventilatory support with bilevel positive pressure was used for 30 minutes with the subject comfortably seated. The NIV (Vivo 40 Bi-Level, General Electric Company) was fitted to the face of volunteer through a face mask, was initially adopted an inspiratory pressure (IPAP) of 15 cm H2O and an expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O, resulting in a variation in pressure of 10 cm H2O, where the IPAP would be increased, subject to the comfort of the patient until the patient reached a tidal volume of 6-8 ml / kg, not exceeding the maximum of 20 cmH2O for IPAP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Thoraco-abdominal kinematics

    The thoraco-abdominal kinematics was performed by optoelectronic plethysmography which were evaluated as primary outcomes: volume change of rib cage (Δv CT), variables related to volume change of rib cage by hemithorax (ΔV ht CT): tidal volume of cash left thoracic (CT VC sx) and tidal volume right ribcage (VC CT dx); variables with distribution volume in different compartments: tidal volume on pulmonary rib cage (VC CTP), tidal volume in abdominal rib cage (VC CTA ) and tidal volume in the abdomen (AB VC).

    Measured: Seven days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Other ventilatory responses

    The other ventilatory responses were also assessed by optoelectronic plethysmography which were assessed as secondary outcomes: minute ventilation (MV); Inhalant rate (RR), duty cycle (Ti / Ttot), expiratory time (TE), end of rib cage (VEF CT) expiratory volume.

    Measured: Seven days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Noninvasive ventilation in people with Heart Failure, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 27 Feb 2014. 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 Brazil. 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?

Thoraco-abdominal kinematics (time frame: Seven days). 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 NCT02073253, 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 27 Feb 2014.
