About this study

Official title: Can 10 Seconds Inspiratory Hold Open Atelectasis in Mechanically Ventilated Patients? A Pilot Study.

This study evaluates whether sustaining inspiratory pressure for 10 seconds at a time can open collapsed lung areas in non-dependant regions of the lung in mechanically ventilated patients.

Read the detailed description

Collapse of lung volume, atelectasis, is a common complication in sedated and mechanically ventilated patients. In adults the atelectasis occur mainly in the dependant areas of the lung. In this study the investigators examine whether these atelectasis can be opened by repeatedly sustaining the inspiratory pressure for 10 seconds when the patient has been positioned so that the atelectasis is located in a non-dependant position. Furthermore, the investigators examine how many times the inspiratory pressure needs to be sustained before the atelectasis is opened and at what pressure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory hold in people with Atelectasis, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 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 Norway. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sarah LB Wilberg, Bachelor (+47 95 80 82 90, sara-wi@online.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ventilation in previously non-ventilated lung tissue (time frame: During intervention and for 30 minutes after ended intervention). 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 24 Nov 2014.
