Respiratory Insufficiency in ChildrenCALO-NIVNCT03824249
Validation of Indirect Calorimetry in Children Undergoing Non-invasive Ventilation
A study testing Indirect Calorimetry in people with Respiratory Insufficiency in Children and Noninvasive Ventilation, run by Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda, Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico at 1 site in Italy.
Trial summary
Nutritional status in critically ill pediatric patients is considered a fundamental prognostic factor in terms of mortality, morbidity, complications and outcome. Many studies report how predictive equations most commonly applied are inaccurate, therefore under or over estimating the body energy requirements. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Validation of Energy Expenditure Measurement With Indirect Calorimetry in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Non-invasive Ventilation Through a Single-limb Circuit With Intentional Leak: a Single Center, Cross-over, Non Pharmacological Study
Nutritional status in critically ill pediatric patients is considered a fundamental prognostic factor in terms of mortality, morbidity, complications and outcome. Many studies report how predictive equations most commonly applied are inaccurate, therefore under or over estimating the body energy requirements. For this reason, actual measurement of resting energy expenditure (REE) through indirect calorimetry (IC) is considered to be a better approach.
Currently, IC is not validated during the use of non-invasive ventilation.
Aim of the present study is to validate the measurement of REE with IC in pediatric patients undergoing non-invasive ventilation through a single-limb circuit with intentional leak.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2022. 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?
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?
Resting energy expenditure (REE) (time frame: 1 day). 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 4 Mar 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
