About this study

Official title: Effects of Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure in Postoperative Cardiac Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) on variables clinics, cardiorespiratory and physical functional in patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the University Hospital of Santa Maria.

Read the detailed description

This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effects of Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) in patients undergoing heart surgery of valve replacement and coronary artery bypass graft on the variables clinics, cardiorespiratory and physical functional.These individuals were randomized to compose the control group (GC) and the BiPAP group (GBiPAP). The routine physical therapy was performed in both groups and in the BiPAPG two daily sessions of 20 minutes were applied with positive expiratory pressure of 10cmH2O and inspiratory of 15cmH2O. To verify the effect of this intervention, before and after the protocol patients underwent the following evaluations: the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), the heart rate variability, the manovacuometry, and cirtometry in the axillary line, umbilical line and the xiphoid appendix.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure in people with Cardiopathy and Surgery, run by Prof. Dr. Antônio Marcos Vargas da Silva 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 1 inclusion and 11 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 6 Jan 2022. 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?

Peripheral Oxygen Saturation by pulse oximetry (time frame: up to 36 weeks). 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 6 Jan 2022.
