Trial summary

Esophageal pressure measurements are used in to determine chest wall elastance and calculate lung elastance and transpulmonary pressure in mechanically ventilated patients. A dedicated esophageal balloon catheter is then placed in the esophagus to measure tidal variations in esophageal pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

Esophageal pressure measurements are used in to determine chest wall elastance and calculate lung elastance and transpulmonary pressure in mechanically ventilated patients. A dedicated esophageal balloon catheter is then placed in the esophagus to measure tidal variations in esophageal pressure.

In this study high resolution solid-state manometry technique was used to provide detailed and continuous measurements of esophageal pressures in the different parts of the esophagus. Measurements were performed during ongoing mechanical ventilation at different levels of endexpiratory pressure.

Esophageal pressure measurements are used in to determine chest wall elastance and calculate lung elastance and transpulmonary pressure in mechanically ventilated patients. A dedicated esophageal balloon catheter is then placed in the esophagus to measure tidal variations in esophageal pressure.

In this study high resolution solid-state manometry technique was instead used to provide detailed and continuous measurements of esophageal pressures in the different parts of the esophagus. The manometry catheter has 36 circumferential sensors at 1 cm intervals. Each sensor has 12 pressure-sensitive segments that add to the signal at that location. Measurements were performed during ongoing mechanical ventilation at different levels of endexpiratory pressure. Possible differences in tidal variations in esophageal pressure in different parts of the esophagus were assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Sahlgrenska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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 11 Oct 2018. 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 Sweden. 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?

Esophageal pressure measurements in mechanically ventilated patients (time frame: Within one hour). 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 NCT02901158, 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 11 Oct 2018.
