About this study

Official title: Bronchoalveolar Lavages in the Intensive Care Unit : Indications, Adverse Respiratory Effects, Contribution to Diagnosis and Therapy. A Multicenter, Prospective, Observational Study

Little is known about bronchoalveolar lavages performed for cytological assessment during bronchial fibroscopy in critically ill patients. Frequency of use, indications, actual contribution to diagnosis and therapeutic decision, and complications have not been extensively assessed.

The primary objective of this multi center, prospective, observational study is to describe the frequency of use of bronchoalveolar lavages for cytological assessement in critically ill patients, identify their indications, assess their contribution to diagnosis and therapeutic decisions, and estimate the frequency of induced respiratory events.

Read the detailed description

Secondary objectives will be to

  • assess the frequency of poor quality bronchoalveolar lavages (as defined by either more than 5% bronchial epithelial cell count to less than 50,000 alveolar cells per mL)
  • assess the contribution of a given bronchoalveolar lavage to the diagnostic work up
  • assess the contribution of a given bronchoalveolar lavage results to therapeutic decision
  • assess the induced short term respiratory side effects
  • identify risk factors for poor respiratory tolerance

What participants receive

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

  • bronchoalveolar lavageProcedure or surgery

    bronchoalveolar lavages performed for cytological assessment in critically ill patients with lung diseases, intubated or not

What is being measured

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

  1. quality of performed bronchoalveolar lavage

    pathologists examining bronchoalveolar lavage specimen will classify bronchoalveolar lavage as "of poor quality" or of "good quality" based upon cytologic assessment: bronchial cell count (not more than 5%) and alveolar cell count (above 50,000/mL).

    Measured: 72 hours

  2. contribution to diagnosis and/or therapeutic decision

    Investigators will be ask to answer the following question: Did the bronchoalveolar lavage results contribute to diagnosis and/or therapeutic decision: Yes or No

    Measured: 72 hours

  3. frequency of use

    the frequency of use of bronchoalveolar lavage will be describe and expressed as the proportion of patients who underwent bronchoalveoalr lavage upon the total number of patients admitted in the recruiting intensive care units during the study period

    Measured: 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evolution of respiratory rate

    respiratory rate will be assessed before the bronchoalveolar lavage and 8 times during the 24 hours following the bronchoalveolar lavage

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Evolution of oxygen needs

    Oxygen needs, in L/min in patients under conventional nasal or facial oxygen therapy, or expressed in FiO2 in patients under nasal high flow oxygen or under invasive or noninvasive ventilation, will be recorded before bronchoalveolar lavage and 8 times during the following 24 hours.

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Need of tracheal intubation

    Percentage of patients not intubated while undergoing bronchoalveolar lavage that will need intubation within 24 hours

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Diseases and Intensive Care, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans at 16 sites 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 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 23 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites 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?

quality of performed bronchoalveolar lavage (time frame: 72 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 May 2019.
