About this study

Official title: Physiological Behavior of Respiratory Maneuvers Through Electrical Impedance Tomography and Optoelectronic Plethymography

Introduction: new methods of evaluation of respiratory function, such as electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP), have been used to measure regional pulmonary ventilation and the variation of tricompartmental volumes of the thoracic cavity, respectively. Analysis of these instruments during maximal respiratory maneuvers with monitoring of esophageal pressure may probably provide additional information on the physiological behavior of the cardiorespiratory system during EIT and OEP maneuvers. Objectives: To describe the physiological behavior of maximal respiratory maneuvers through the electrical impedance tomography and optoelectronic plethysmography in healthy men.

METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study involving 10 healthy male volunteers. The development of the method will take place in 3 stages. The first step corresponds to the characterization of the inspiratory and expiratory curves in the respiratory cycle generated by the impedance variation (ΔZ), the mobility of the chest wall and the pulmonary volume curve during maximal respiratory maneuvers. 2nd stage: verification of the correlation between the variables Step 3: Estimate the dislocated blood volume of the lung through previous analyzes.

Read the detailed description

The physiological repercussions resulting from the maximal respiratory maneuvers together with the synchronized analysis of the chest cavity mobility, pulmonary volume , pulmonary impedance and measurement of Oesophageal pressure is not known. Therefore, this study aims to describe the physiological behavior of maximal respiratory maneuvers through the synchronization between electrical impedance tomography and optoelectronic plethysmography in healthy men.

What is being measured

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

  1. Displacement of blood volume of the lung

    Volume displacement per unit time measured by electrical impedance tomography through the impedance variation in Ohm (Ω).

    Measured: 09/03/2018

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Variation of pulmonary electrical impedance

    Variation between the final and initial impedance measured by electrical impedance tomography through the impedance variation in Ohm (Ω).

    Measured: 09/03/2018

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy Volunteers, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

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 6 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 4 May 2018. 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 Brazil. 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?

Displacement of blood volume of the lung (time frame: 09/03/2018). 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 4 May 2018.
