Trial summary

Cough Peak Flow (CPF) seems to be an efficient tool to assess cough capacity for the intensive care unit (ICU) ventilated patient. CPF can be used in the ventilator weaning process, as reflecting the upper airways protection capacity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Correlation of Cough Peak Flow Measurement by an Electronic Handheld Spirometer Connected to the Endotracheal Tube and by the Intensive Care Unit Ventilator Flowmeter.

Cough Peak Flow (CPF) seems to be an efficient tool to assess cough capacity for the intensive care unit (ICU) ventilated patient. CPF can be used in the ventilator weaning process, as reflecting the upper airways protection capacity.

CPF requires disconnection of the patient from the ICU ventilator, supplemental material (handheld spirometer, antibacterial filter) and an excellent synchronization between the specialized caregiver and the patient.

We aimed that CPF with the ventilator built-in flow-meter is correlated with CPF using a handheld flowmeter connected to the endotracheal tube.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT03357198
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
cough peak flow measurementAll enrolled patients will undergo measurement of cough peak flow by two methods, i.e. using a handheld electronic spirometer, and using the ventilator flowmeter, in a randomized order.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation coefficient for the two CPF assessment methods, on extubation day

    Correlation coefficient for the two CPF assessment methods, on extubation day

    Measured: Within 1 hour before mechanical ventilation termination (extubation)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Discriminatory power of CPF to predict successful weaning of mechanical ventilation, i.e. no reintubation within 72 hours after extubation, or unsuccessful weaning.

    Thresholds of CPF will be tested as predictors of weaning success

    Measured: During the mechanical ventilation until 72 hours post extubation

  2. Assess the correlation between CPF and length of mechanical ventilation

    Assess the correlation between CPF and length of mechanical ventilation

    Measured: During the mechanical ventilation until 72 hours post extubation

  3. 3. Correlation between the two CPF assessment methods the days before extubation

    1. Correlation between the two CPF assessment methods the days before extubation

    Measured: During the mechanical ventilation until 72 hours post extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Insufficiency and Ventilator Weaning, run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 31 Jan 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 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?

Correlation coefficient for the two CPF assessment methods, on extubation day (time frame: Within 1 hour before mechanical ventilation termination (extubation)). 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 NCT03357198, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 31 Jan 2019.
