Trial summary

Mechanical ventilation is an important support strategy for critically ill patients. It could improve gas exchange, reduce the work of breathing, and improve patient comfort. However, patient-ventilator asynchrony, which defined as a mismatch between the patient and ventilator may obfuscate these goals. Read more about this study

About this study

Mechanical ventilation is an important support strategy for critically ill patients. It could improve gas exchange, reduce the work of breathing, and improve patient comfort. However, patient-ventilator asynchrony, which defined as a mismatch between the patient and ventilator may obfuscate these goals. Studies have shown that a high incidence of asynchrony (asynchrony index > 10%) is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay and high mortality. So far, there have been only a few studies on the epidemiology of asynchrony in brain-injured patients. Investigators conduct a prospective observational study among brain-injured patients to determine the prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of patient-ventilator asynchrony. Esophageal pressure monitoring, a surrogate for pleural pressure, combined with airway pressure and flow waveforms is used to detect patient-ventilator asynchrony.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Injuries and Mechanical Ventilation, run by Jian-Xin Zhou at 1 site in China.

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 29 May 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 China. 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?

The incidence of patient-ventilator asynchrony in brain-injured patients (time frame: Three 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 NCT03212482, 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 29 May 2020.
