About this study

The primary objective of the study is to determine the correlation between mean pleural pressure and oesophageal pressure in the immediate aftermath of bi-pulmonary transplantation.

In this research, oesophageal pressure will be measured by a nasogastric tube with an esophageal balloon (also suitable for feeding the patient) usually installed at the time of transplantation, pleural pressure will be measured by several Pleurocath-type catheters (Prodimed Inc, France) which the thoracic surgeon will have positioned at the end of the surgery without additional skin intrusion.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary transplantation is a model of acute lung injury due to ischemia-reperfusion phenomena responsible in 1 in 4 patients for the occurrence of primary graft dysfunction (DPG), which penalizes graft prognosis in the short to medium term. The survival of transplant patients. Furthermore, the post-operative period is a complex period in which multiple hemorrhagic, immunological, infectious, and neuromuscular complications may arise that may require prolonged mechanical ventilation. At present, there are no data on the measurement of pressure in pleural space after pulmonary transplantation. Achieving this measurement would make it possible to adapt the settings of the ventilator to both the acute phase in the case of DPG and to a later phase in case of mechanical weaning. In the case of bi-pulmonary transplantation, before the thorax is closed, each patient benefits from the systematic placement of bilateral anterior and posterior thoracic drains to prevent the formation of fluid effusions (hemothorax, pleurisy) and / or gases (pneumothorax ) Which would impede ventilation and compromise gas exchange. These drains are gradually withdrawn during resuscitation usually after weaning mechanical ventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Oesophageal pressure

    The oesophageal pressure will be measured with a nasogastric tube with an esophageal balloon (also enabling the patient to be fed)(6 measurements at the end of inspiration and 6 at the end of expiration).

    Measured: 5 days

  2. Pleural pressure

    The pleural pressure will be measured using several pleurocath-type catheters (Prodimed Inc, France)(4 inspiratory measures and 4 expiratory measures)

    Measured: 5 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlations between the mean pleural pressure and esophageal pressure during the 5 days following a double lung transplant.

    Measured: 5 days

  2. Comparison between the pleural pressure and esophageal pressure depending on the lung injury, the ventilation mode and the body position (supine and prone position)

    Measured: 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Measurement of oesophageal pressure and pleural pressure in people with Respiratory Disease, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 1 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 16 Nov 2022. 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?

Oesophageal pressure (time frame: 5 days). 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?
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 16 Nov 2022.
