About this study

Official title: The Prospective Observational Study of ARDS Related Acute CorPulmonale and the Randomized Controlled Study of ARDS Aimed Circulation Protection China (ACPC)

The investigators established a national cohort of Chinese ARDS with Acute CorPulmonale to enable prospective observational studies. The goals are the following.

First, morbidity and mortality rate of ARDS with ACP in the ICU across Chinese mainland.

Second, forming the diagnostic ultrasound strategy of ARDS-ACP, namely TRIP procedures. And predictive value of diagnostic strategy for ACP or prognosis of ACP were calculated.

Third, comparison of ventilator parameters for ACP and non-ACP or survivor and non-survisors, which reaveald that of inappropriate mechanical ventilation on circulation and prognosis. Screening for risk factors of ARDS with ACP.

Read the detailed description

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute and critical illness characterized by progressive dyspnea and refractory hypoxemia caused by intrapulmonary or extrapulmonary factors. The mortality rate of ARDS is extremely high. ACP caused by pulmonary circulatory disorder is its main clinical feature, which is related to the severity of lung injury in ARDS patients. It has been recognized that the ACP is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of patients with ARDS. Positive pressure mechanical ventilation is an important ARDS treatment strategy for ARDS. Especially the lung protective ventilation strategy with "small tidal volume and increased PEEP" as the core content, which achieved a milestone of lower the mortality of ARDS. However, improper use of positive pressure mechanical ventilation can increase right ventricular load and increase mortality in ARDS patients. Therefore, understanding the effect of positive pressure mechanical ventilation on right heart function in patients with ARDS is important for prevention and treatment for the ACP of ARDS and reduction of ARDS mortality.

The alveolar edema, alveolar collapse, and hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction loss caused by increased pulmonary vascular permeability and release of inflammatory mediators resulted in loss of ventilation/blood flow, severe hypoxemia, pulmonary vasospasm, pulmonary microthrombus formation, which increased pulmonary arterial pressure and even APC. Positive pressure mechanical ventilation maintains alveolar ventilation through positive airway pressure, prevents premature alveolar collapse by positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), changes intrathoracic pressure and lung volume, and affects the right ventricle load. Different studies have found that the incidence of ACP in patients with ARDS is from 22% to 60%. Jardin, et al found that patients with ARDS had a significant increase in ACP and mortality when the airway pressure was greater than 26 cmH2O, which revealed that the difference in positive pressure mechanical ventilation settings has a significant difference in the right heart function of ARDS patients. Mekontso, et al propose a simple clinical risk score for early identification of ACP included pneumonia as cause of ARDS, driving pressure ≥18cmH2O, PaO2/FiO2 ratio<150 mmHg, and PaCO2≥48mmHg. However, for the morbidity and mortality of ACP in ARDS, the related risk factors and criteria are different due to the influence of the different etiology of ARDS and the different study time. For these reasons, the investigators established a national cohort of Chinese ARDS with Acute CorPulmonale to enable prospective observational studies.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ARDS WITH ACP1. Diagnostic criteria for ARDS ARDS defined as within 1 week of a known clinical insult or new or worsening respiratory symptoms. ARDS was classified as mild (200 mmHg < PaO2/FIO2≤300 mmHg), moderate (100 mmHg < PaO2/FIO2≤200 mmHg) and severe (PaO2/FIO2≤100 mmHg) according to the value of PaO2/FiO2 ratio. Importantly, the PaO2/FiO2 ratio value is considered only with a CPAP or PEEP value of at least 5 cmH2O. 2. Ultrasound diagnostic criteria for ACP The specific diagnostic parameters are as follows: TR>2.8m/s; RVEDA/LVEDA>0.6 or Right ventricle/left ventricle basal diameter ratio>1.0 or systolic D sign; IVC >2cm with decreased inspiratory collapse; Pulmonary Regurgitation Velocity >2.2m/s.
Receives: Device: TTE
ARDS WITHOUT ACPDiagnosis as ARDS but no ultrasound evidence of ACP.
Receives: Device: TTE

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) and Acute Cor Pulmonale, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 5 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 China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

28 days SURVIVAL (time frame: 28 days after ICU admission). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03827863, 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?
