Trial summary

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in patients in intensive care often requires the mechanical ventilation (MV). Management and weaning from MV are given by specificity of this type of pulmonary inflammation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Nosocomial Pneumonia as a Factor Influencing Parameters of Mechanical Ventilation: Results of a Retrospective, Observational Study

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in patients in intensive care often requires the mechanical ventilation (MV). Management and weaning from MV are given by specificity of this type of pulmonary inflammation. Enrolled in the retrospective, observational study were all patients older than 18 years staying at the ICU of University Hospital in Olomouc, between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2016. The determination of the parameters of the MV, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay and mortality in HAP group were compared with the control group of patients without HAP.

Read the detailed description

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) development influences the parameters of mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, hospital length of stay, need of tracheostomy, bronchoscopy, reconnection to MV and mortality. We respect HAP definition: acute inflammation of the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar structures and pulmonary interstitium. Clinically it is defined as the presence of newly developed or progressive infiltrates on chest radiographs plus at least two other signs of respiratory tract infection: temperature >38 °C, chest pain, purulent sputum, leukocytosis or leukopenia, signs of inflammation on auscultation, cough and/or respiratory insufficiency. HAP is defined as pneumonia that occurs 48 hours or more after admission, which was not incubating at the time of admission. A retrospective, observational study processing data on all consecutive intensive care patients older than 18 years of age between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2015. The aim was to determine the incidence of potential risk factors and their impact on the development of HAP. The primary outcome was investigation of the relationship between mechanical ventilation parameters and the presence of early- and late-onset HAP. Enrolled in the study were patients staying at the ICU of the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University Olomouc and University Hospital Olomouc, between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2016. The participants were all patients older than 18 years of age consecutively admitted to the ICU.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mechanical Ventilation Pressure High, run by University Hospital Olomouc.

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 3 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 26 Oct 2017. 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?

length of mechanical ventilation (time frame: during MV). 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 26 Oct 2017.
