About this study

Official title: Can High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation Accelerate the Discharged of Intubated Intensive Care Patients?

Effects of the high frequent chest wall oscillation technique applied on the patients who were intubated in intensive care unit were investigated.

A total of 30 patients who were intubated and under the mechanical ventilator supplied, were included in the study. While the control group (n=15) received routine pulmonary rehabilitation technique, the study group (n=15) was administered high frequency chest wall oscillation for 72 hours as 4 times of 15-minute intervals, in addition to the pulmonary rehabilitation technique. Patients 'APACHE-II scores, dry sputum weight, Lung Collapse Index and blood gas values were measured at the hours 24th, 48th and 72nd, and endotracheal aspirate culture was studied at initial and 72nd. In addition, patient outcomes were evaluated at the end of the first week.

What participants receive

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

  • routine pulmonary rehabilitationDevice

    received routine pulmonary rehabilitation consisted of position giving technique (left lateral, supine, right lateral), chest wall percussion, postural drainage and airway aspiration at every 3 hours.

  • chest wall vibration techniqueDevice

    administered chest wall vibration technique in addition to the routine pulmonary rehabilitation method for 72 hours. Chest vibration method was applied with 7-10 hz frequency given by a ped wrapped around the thorax and pulmonary rehabilitation with 3 mmHg pressure four times a day with 15-minute periods (TheVest® Model 205).

What is being measured

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

  1. change from baseline of Lung Collapse Index (LCI) values were recorded by listening both the lungs and scoring between 0 and 4 (0: normal expansion, 1: single lobe collapse, 2: 2 lobe collapse, 3: multiple lobe collapse) at six month

    Measured: six month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. weight of the dry sputum after six month

    Measured: six month

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 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 5 Jan 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 of Lung Collapse Index (LCI) values were recorded by listening both the lungs and scoring between 0 and 4 (0: normal expansion, 1: single lobe collapse, 2: 2 lobe collapse, 3: multiple lobe collapse) at six month (time frame: six month). 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 NCT02645695, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 5 Jan 2016.
