Trial summary

Patients with respiratory failure often need oxygen and/or ventilatory support. Patients who need only oxygen support, usually received low flow oxygen (< 15 Liters / min), as well as in respiratory weaning. Now new devices can be used. They provide high flow oxygen with different benefits. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Which Place for High Flow Oxygen in Intensive Care Unit ?

Patients with respiratory failure often need oxygen and/or ventilatory support. Patients who need only oxygen support, usually received low flow oxygen (< 15 Liters / min), as well as in respiratory weaning. Now new devices can be used. They provide high flow oxygen with different benefits. This high flow devices provide exact fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), allows a positive end expiratory pressure and supplies a wash out flow. The hypothesis of this study is that the high flow oxygen enable more efficient oxygen administration than conventional oxygen. In addition, it would improve the effectiveness of the ventilation of the patient, through flushing the dead space.

Read the detailed description

The investigators hypothesized that when using high flow oxygen therapy, respiratory failure is relieved, as well as ventilation failure, so accessories are less stressed muscles, and this can be demonstrated by the electromyography (EMG) of sterno-mastoid..

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in Oxygenation criteria

    Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PO2), oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry (SpO2), arterial PO2/FiO2, positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)

    Measured: 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from baseline in Ventilation criteria

    respiratory rate (RR), arterial partial CO2 pressure (PCO2), pH, sterno-mastoid EMG

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Optiflow in people with Hypoxemia, run by Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 1 Feb 2016. 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 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?

Change from baseline in Oxygenation criteria (time frame: 20 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 1 Feb 2016.
