About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Evaluation of the Diaphragmatic Musculature in Mechanically Ventilated Patients in Intensive Care Unit

Muscle weakness and dysfunction are common problems in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit. Respiratory muscle weakness during mechanical ventilation was recognized a state of muscular fatigue. The terminology 'ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction' (VIDD) originally was introduced to describe these effects of mechanical ventilation and respiratory muscle unloading on the diaphragm.

Ultrasonography is becoming increasingly popular management of ICU patients. It is a simple, non-invasive and safe imaging technique that can be used for the assessment of distinctive diaphragmatic characteristics.

Parameters such as amplitude and velocity of contraction, which can be assessed using M-mode ultrasound. In addition, static and dynamic (thickening fraction during inspiration) diaphragmatic thickness can also be measured by ultrasonography.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different modes of mechanical ventilation on diaphragmatic thickness using ultrasonography and the relation between time of mechanical ventilation and the percentage of change of diaphragmatic thickness in head trauma patients subjected for mechanical ventilation (>2 days) intensive care unit.

Modes of ventilation will be used in the study are:

  • Pressure controlled mandatory ventilation mode (P-CMV).
  • Pressure synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation mode (P-SIMV).
  • Pressure support (PS) mode.
Being tested
Pressure controlled mandatory ventilation mode (P-CMV), Pressure synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, Pressure support mode (PS)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pressure synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation and Pressure support mode (PS) in people with Mechanical Ventilation, run by Mansoura University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 28 Mar 2019. 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 Egypt. 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?

Diaphragmatic thickness (time frame: for 3 weeks after initiation of mechanical ventilation). 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 28 Mar 2019.
