About this study

Official title: Correlation of the Driving Pressure With the Survival of Puerperae Under Mechanical Ventilation by Electrical Impedance Tomography

Introduction: Electrical Impedance Tomography (TIE) consists of an equipment that enables the visualization / quantification in real time of the regional distribution of ventilation and pulmonary perfusion, as well as of ventilatory mechanics. Used on the edge of the bed, it is easy to move, non-invasive, allowing a momentary or continuous assessment, guiding the conduct in a safe and precise way through the electrical impedance technology. It is important to note that, in addition to ensuring the efficacy of the patient's behavior, the TIE supports the most diverse types of studies to be performed. These include those based on the effectiveness of the use of the method in the most diverse pulmonary dysfunctions, in the adjustment of the mechanical ventilation and in the average time of hospitalization. Objective: To evaluate the pulmonary function of patients in invasive mechanical ventilation through SIT. Method: This research was carried out in compliance with the National Health Council's Guidelines for Research Involving Human Beings (466/12). The study was a prospective longitudinal clinical-experimental type in which all patients (occasional sampling) used mechanical ventilation and were hospitalized in the Adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia Foundation of Pará, and they developed sepsis with pulmonary repercussions; (DEHG) / HELLP Syndrome and Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated and monitored with TIE to perform ventilatory therapy according to the research objectives. The research was carried out in the city of Belém, in the state of Pará, in the adult ICU of the FSCMP. As inclusion criterion, the patient should be in the FSCMP adult Intensive Care Unit (ICU), under mechanical invasive ventilation, previously authorized by the family through the Informed Consent Form to participate in the study.

Read the detailed description

A prospective longitudinal clinical-experimental study was carried out in which 30 postpartum / postpartum women who developed complications of their clinical condition, needing support by invasive mechanical ventilation, development of sepsis with pulmonary repercussion, Specific Pregnancy Disease ( SDP), HELLP syndrome or ARDS were evaluated and monitored with Electrical Impedance Tomography for conduction of ventilatory therapy. In order to obtain the images and quantification of the regional ventilatory distribution, two tapes with 16 electrodes were connected by means of an adhesive tape, one for each band, around the thorax and aligned in a plane corresponding to a cross section with emission of an electric current imperceptible and harmless to the patient, generating, according to the pulmonary dynamics, a variation of electrical impedance, consequently a gradient of electrical resistivity. A flow sensor positioned between the endotracheal tube and the "Y" of the ventilator circuit, responsible for capturing ventilatory mechanic information, and a reference cable positioned by an electrocardiographic monitoring electrode, in the abdominal region or in the region from the shoulders. The data were sent simultaneously to a system (computer) with specific softwear in order to measure and quantify the regional distribution of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion, as well as its correlation in patients under mechanical ventilation. All experimental values were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The study was of the experimental type, and the descriptive statistic was used to characterize the sample. Statistical analysis was performed with GraphPad Prism 5.0. The P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results were placed in spreadsheets and graphs created with GraphPad Prism 5.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California, USA).

SepsisThe puerperal / postpartum women who evolved with sepsis, needing support by invasive mechanical ventilation, were evaluated and monitored with Electrical Impedance Tomography for ventilatory therapy. In order to obtain the images and quantification of the regional ventilatory distribution, two strips with 16 electrodes were connected around the thorax to capture an imperceptible and harmless electric current to the patient, generating, according to the pulmonary dynamics, an impedance power of variation. A flow sensor was positioned between the endotracheal tube and the "Y" of the ventilator circuit and was responsible for capturing information about ventilatory mechanics. Data were sent simultaneously to a system (computer) with specific softwear in order to measure and quantify the regional distribution of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion, as well as their correlation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of the driving pressure with the survival of puerperae under mechanical ventilation by electrical impedance tomography

    For the delimitation of the information collection of postpartum women submitted to invasive mechanical ventilation for having evolved with HELLP syndrome, sepsis or respiratory distress syndrome, and ventilatory data were collected from the data sheet of the Electrical Impedance Tomography, containing data from the regional distribution of (Cst) of the respiratory system, final expiratory positive pressure (PEEP) and Platelet Pressure (Pplatô), as well as ventilatory parameters data: Ventilatory mode and mode, PEEP, VT, Inspiratory Time (I), Inspired Fraction of Oxygen (FiO2), Sensitivity (Sens.), Of hospitalized patients in the period of collections. After a retrospective survey of the sample, data were collected from patients who were in the Intensive Care Unit, while they were on invasive mechanical ventilation and monitored by Electrical Impedance Tomography.

    Measured: Data will be collected 3 times a day in the morning, evening and evening hours until the conclusion of the study, with a mean of 3 to 5 days of monitoring by electrical impedance tomography

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 2 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 6 Nov 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 of the driving pressure with the survival of puerperae under mechanical ventilation by electrical impedance tomography (time frame: Data will be collected 3 times a day in the morning, evening and evening hours until the conclusion of the study, with a mean of 3 to 5 days of monitoring by electrical impedance tomography). 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 NCT03715647, which also lists 13 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 6 Nov 2018.
