About this study

Official title: Prognostic Value of Dominant Hand Held Dynamometry in Mechanical Ventilation Weaning: a Prospective, Multicenter Study

The purpose of this study is to test the association between ICU acquired weakness as evaluated by dominant handheld dynamometry (handgrip) and the mechanical ventilation weaning outcome

Read the detailed description

Previous studies have evidenced that Intensive Care Unit acquired peripheral muscle weakness may lead to delayed mechanical ventilation weaning (i.e difficult or prolonged weaning according to guidelines). Nevertheless, no study has ever tested the association between handgrip strength and extubation outcome. The investigators have generated the hypothesis that ICU acquired weakness, as tested by handgrip strength might be associated with extubation outcome. The investigators have planned to include 240 patients. Handgrip strength will be monitored, along with a full muscular assessment through Medical Research Council score by the attending physiotherapist. Physicians in charge of the patients will be blinded to these values and the weaning protocol will continue according to guidelines.

Being tested
Handheld dynamometry (handgrip strength)

What participants receive

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

  • Handheld dynamometry (handgrip strength)Procedure or surgery

    Patients will perform handgrip strength dynamometry through holding the device in their dominant hand with the maximum strength, with standardized arm and body positions, as well as incentives

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Handheld dynamometry (handgrip strength)ExperimentalAll included patients will have a blinded evaluation of handgrip strength before weaning process.
Receives: Procedure: Handheld dynamometry (handgrip strength)

What is being measured

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

  1. extubation outcome according to handgrip strength value

    Each mechanical ventilation weaning trial

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Association between handgrip strength and difficulty of weaning according to guidelines

    Each mechanical ventilation weaning trial

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Association between handgrip strength and cough strength as assessed through peak expiratory flow evaluated with a portable spirometer

    Each mechanical ventilation weaning trial

    Measured: 7 days

  3. Association between handgrip strength and maximal inspiratory strength during a brief inspiratory valve occlusion on the ventilator

    Each mechanical ventilation weaning trial

    Measured: 7 days

  4. Association between handgrip strength and peripheral muscular strength evaluated by the Medical Research Council score

    Each mechanical ventilation weaning trial

    Measured: 7 days

  5. Association between handgrip strength and the peripheral muscular strength evaluated by the Medical Research Council score. (Global score and its components)

    Each mechanical ventilation weaning trial

    Measured: 7 days

  6. Association between handgrip strength defined Intensive Care Unit acquired weakness and Intensive Care Unit and hospital length of stay

    Measured: 18 months

  7. Association between handgrip strength defined Intensive Care Unit acquired weakness and Intensive Care Unit and hospital survival

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Handheld dynamometry (handgrip strength) in people with Ventilator Weaning and Hand Strength, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 Jul 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 France. 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?

extubation outcome according to handgrip strength value (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT02946502, 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 Jul 2020.
