Trial summary

This study aims to assess whether the electrical signal of the diaphragm (diaphragm electromyogram) and the ratio of that to tidal volume (amount of air breathed in and out of the lungs) can predict which infants will be successfully extubated (have the breathing tube removed without needing it replaced.)

What is being measured

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

  1. Magnitude of diaphragm EMG

    Magnitude of diaphragm EMG

    Measured: One hour

  2. Ratio of diaphragm EMG to tidal volume

    Ratio of diaphragm EMG to tidal volume

    Measured: One hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Extubation success

    Extubation success is define as remaining free of invasive mechanical ventilation. Whether the above measures of diaphragm EMG can predict such success will be investigated

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infant, Newborn, Disease, run by King's College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 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 2 Nov 2020. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Magnitude of diaphragm EMG (time frame: One hour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02878993, 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 2 Nov 2020.
