About this study

Official title: To Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of Vacuum Bottle Plus Catheter for Drainage of Pneumothorax

The use of vacuum bottle in drainage of pneumothorax was seldom reported. This study aims to investigate the safety of vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter for drainage of iatrogenic pneumothorax.

Read the detailed description

For aspiration or drainage of pneumothorax, a 16-gauge or 18-gauge over-the-needle non-tunneled catheter, a pigtail, or chest tube are frequently used to penetrate the pleural space. A 50-ml or 60-ml syringe may be connected to the over-the-needle catheter or a pigtail for simple aspiration, while underwater-sealed bottle or suction drainage connected to chest tube for drainage of pneumothorax. Vacuum bottle for removing pleural effusion are frequently reported in literature and common in daily practice. However, the use of vacuum bottle in drainage of pneumothorax was seldom reported. This study aims to investigate the safety of vacuum bottle plus non-tunneled catheter for drainage of iatrogenic pneumothorax.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intrapleural pressure during vacuum bottle air drainage

    The investigator will measure the intrapleural pressure during air drainage at 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 25 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes and until finished (the remaining with 5 minutes interval). It is proposed in previous studies that it is safe if the intrapleural pressure is less than 20 cmH2O during the procedure.

    Measured: Within 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rate of reexpansion pulmonary edema

    By calculating the rate of reexpansion pulmonary edema among vacuum bottle assisted drainage can investigator determine whether it is a safe procedure

    Measured: within 1day after the procedure

  2. The resolution rate of pneumothorax

    Chest X ray will be taken after the procedure and compared with that taken before the procedure. By using Rhea method, the investigator can compare the percentage of remaining pneumothorax compared with that before the procedure.

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vacuum bottle in people with Iatrogenic Pneumothorax and Vacuum Bottle Assisted Needle Aspiration, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 12 Jan 2021. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Intrapleural pressure during vacuum bottle air drainage (time frame: Within 1 hour). 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 NCT03724721, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jan 2021.
