Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Critical care patients on mechanical ventilation due to acute respiratory failure and have significant pleural effusion who had drainage plan according to İCU protocols decided by primary physician were enrolled for the study

Who may be able to join

  • Patients on mechanical ventilation due to acute respiratory failure
  • Estimated effusion > 800 ml according to USG
  • Have drainage plan according to ICU protocols decided by primary physician

Who cannot join

  • Have absolute drainage indication (empyema, hemothorax or chylothorax)
  • predicted duration of mechanical ventilation less than 72 hours
  • contraindications to drainage,
  • underlying disease, which prevents lung expansion (chest deformity, central atelectasis)
  • malignant effusions

About this study

Patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) who were receiving mechanical ventilator support, had significant pleural effusion (both transudates and exudates) and drainage plan were evaluated. Decision to drain, timing and duration of drainage were made by primary physician according to the intensive care unit (ICU) protocols.The estimated amount of effusion (mL) was calculated as the maximum pleura-lung distance (mm) x 20 and significant effusion is accepted as ≥ 800 mL according to thoracic ultrasonography (USG) performed by the intensivist. The amount of effusion drained, mechanical ventilator parameters, arterial blood gas results and hemodynamic data were recorded before, at the 1st hour and at the end of drainage up to 30 days after drainage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between estimated and drained effusion volume

    Volume of the effusion estimated and drained was recorded (mL)

    Measured: 1- Estimated effusion volume just before the drainage (by ultrasonography calculated as described in brief summary) 2- Drained effusion volume just after the drainage is terminated up to 30 days after procedure.

  2. Change in Lung mechanics

    Dynamic Compliance (mL/cmH2O)

    Measured: 1- Dynamic Compliance just before the drainage 2- Dynamic Compliance just after the drainage is terminated up to 30 days after procedure

  3. Change in Oxygenation

    PaO2/FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen)

    Measured: 1- PaO2/FiO2 just before the drainage 2- PaO2/FiO2 just after the drainage is terminated up to 30 days after procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiration, Artificial and Pleural Effusion, run by Dokuz Eylul University.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 9 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 between estimated and drained effusion volume (time frame: 1- Estimated effusion volume just before the drainage (by ultrasonography calculated as described in brief summary) 2- Drained effusion volume just after the drainage is terminated up to 30 days after procedure.). The study lists 3 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 9 Jan 2018.
