About this study

Official title: National Approach to Standardize and Improve Mechanical Ventilation Care for Critically Ill Patients in Saudi Arabia

This is a pre-post implementation cohort study. This is a data driven quality improvement project which aims to improve the care of mechanically ventilated patients through the implementation of a bundle of evidence based practices, with a goal of reducing ventilator associated events and mortality.

Read the detailed description

NASAM is a national collaborative quality improvement project in Saudi Arabia which aims to:

  1. Reduce the rate of ventilator-associated events
  2. Improve the compliance with NASAM bundle elements
  3. Reduce the mortality of mechanically ventilated patients

The plan of this quality improvement project is to extend the implementation to a total of 100 ICUs in collaboration with multiple health systems across the country. A significant component of this project includes measuring the safety culture of ICUs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by King Abdullah International Medical Research Center at 2 sites in Saudi Arabia.

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 14 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Saudi Arabia. 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?

Ventilator-associated events (time frame: 18 months). 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 NCT03790150, 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 14 Mar 2023.
