About this study

A study of two ventilatory strategies for low tidal volume ventilation compared to a control group to elucidate if low tidal volumes of 3ml/kg or 4ml/kg were feasible for one lung ventilation.

Read the detailed description

This study investigated the feasibility of low tidal volume ventilation for one lung ventilation.

45 patients were recruited - 15 patients in each of three groups, 3ml/kg, 4ml/kg or usual care.

Outcomes studied were length of stay, 30 day mortality, unplanned ICU admission, evidence of respiratory failure or requirement for non-invasive ventilation, chest x-ray infiltrates and requirement for antibiotics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiological evidence of injury to the ventilated lung

    evidence of infiltrates in the non operative lung

    Measured: post operatively up to 6 weeks post operatively

  2. unplanned ICU admission

    unplanned admission to the icu with respiratory issues

    Measured: up to 6 weeks post operatively

  3. Requirement for non-invasive ventilation

    whether a patient in the trial requires niv for respiratory failure

    Measured: up to 6 weeks post operatively

  4. Hospital acquired pneumonia

    pneumonia acquired in hospital

    Measured: up to discharge at 6 weeks post operatively

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. length of hospital stay

    number of days in hospital

    Measured: until patient discharge at 6 weeks post operatively

  2. length of icu stay

    number of days in ICU

    Measured: until patient discharge at 6 weeks post operatively

  3. 30 day mortality

    number of patients who died within 30 days of their procedure

    Measured: 30 days post operatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tidal volume ventilation in people with Low Tidal Volume Ventilation, run by University of Dublin, Trinity College at 1 site in Ireland.

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 16 Mar 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 Ireland. 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?

Radiological evidence of injury to the ventilated lung (time frame: post operatively up to 6 weeks post operatively). The study lists 4 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 16 Mar 2018.
