About this study

Official title: KIDNEY - LUNG INTERACTION: the Effect of End-expiratory Pressure on Renal Perfusion. Non-invasive Evaluation.

The present study aims to evaluate, with non-invasive methods, the relationships existing between PEEP and renal perfusion in patients undergoing surgery and requiring ventilatory support and monitoring in intensive care. Renal perfusion will be assessed at baseline (PEEP 0), subsequently ,at the application of progressive increases of PEEP. At the end of the measurements, the implications of the use of PEEP on the renal vascular system will be analyzed.

Read the detailed description

The present physiological, monocentric, observational clinical study evaluates the effect of progressive PEEP increases on renal perfusion in mechanically ventilated patients who underwent surgery with the need of ventilatory support and monitoring in intensive care.

Precisely, will be evaluated:

  • The morphometric parameters (coronal diameter and cortico-medullary thickness) and the renal resistive indices (IR). The inter-lobar arteries will be sampled and the IRs will be measured as the upper and lower level and the mesorenes. Measurements will be performed both in the kidney and in baseline conditions and incremental values of PEEP (0 - 6 - 12).
  • Gas exchanges, FC, systolic BP, diastolic and mean, Pmax, P1 and P2 of the airways, total and ohmic resistances and static respiratory compliance indexed for weight body (RRSmaxI, RRSminI, CrsI will be recorded).

The intra-class correlation coefficient will be measured to estimate the intra-observer reproducibility of the conducted measurement.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03747731
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Resistive Index and Peep TitrationEnrolled patients will receive a sequential, step-wise increase in PEEP from 0 cmH2O to 12 cmH2O. The inter-lobar arterioles will be sampled at each PEEP increment and the IR will be measured as the average of three values recorded at the upper and lower pole and at the mesorenes in each kidney. Gas exchanges, HR, systolic, diastolic and mean PA, Pmax, P1 and P2 airway, total resistance and ohmic resistance and static respiratory compliance indexed for body weight (RRSmaxI, RRSminI, CrsI) will be measured at each Peep Level. The physiologic measurements will be obtained at regular intervals (within 15 minutes at each PEEP level) throughout the PEEP titration period.

What is being measured

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

  1. Association between IR and PEEP

    Resistive index will be measured in both kidney and recorded using multifrequency convex probe.The association between positive end expiratory pressure and resistive index will be analyzed as the primary outcome.

    Measured: Change from baseline to 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Association between PEEP and Hemodynamics Paramenters

    Resistive index will be measured in both kidney and recorded using multifrequency convex. FC, systolic, diastolic and mean PA will be measured at each PEEP level

    Measured: Change from baseline to 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Perfusion; Complications and Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by St. Bortolo Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Silvia De Rosa, MD (+393933098583, derosa.silvia@ymail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Association between IR and PEEP (time frame: Change from baseline to 60 minutes). 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 1 Feb 2019.
