Trial summary

Ventilator-induced lung injury is a common complication. The latest and most noticeable theory of its pathogenesis is called 'ergotrauma' by Gattinoni in 2016. The theory uses ventilator-imposed 'energy' or 'power' to encompass several known forms of injury-inducing factors such as pressure,volume, flow, rate, etc. Read more about this study

About this study

Ventilator-induced lung injury is a common complication. The latest and most noticeable theory of its pathogenesis is called 'ergotrauma' by Gattinoni in 2016. The theory uses ventilator-imposed 'energy' or 'power' to encompass several known forms of injury-inducing factors such as pressure,volume, flow, rate, etc. However, to quantify power imposed by ventilator is no easy task in clinical practice. So, Gattinoni proposed a mathematical formula for easy power calculation. However, Gattinoni did not compare the difference between various etiologies of acute lung injury. We will enroll 100 patients (50 with acute respiratory distress syndrome and 50 with normal lung). The ventilator-imposed power at various tidal volume (6, 8, 10 ml/Kg) and positive end-expiratory pressure (5, 10 cmH2O) will be calculated by the formula. The area enclosed by hysteresis of pressure-volume curve, and hence the work it implies, will be measured as a standard. Our study will aim to compare the formula in different patient groups and in Taiwanese people.

What is being measured

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

  1. correlation of calculated and measured work of breath

    The ventilator-imposed power at various tidal volume (6, 8, 10 ml/Kg) and positive end-expiratory pressure (5, 10 cmH 2 O) will be calculated by the formula.

    Measured: The measurement and calculation will be performed only once when the ventilator was in use. The estimated time frame of measurement is less than one hour.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Mechanical Ventilation, Respiratory Mechanics, Ventilator-induced Lung Injury, run by Changhua Christian 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?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 8 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?

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shin Hwar Wu (8867238595 ext. 3971, 126366@cch.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

correlation of calculated and measured work of breath (time frame: The measurement and calculation will be performed only once when the ventilator was in use. The estimated time frame of measurement is less than one 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 NCT04046380, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 23 Jan 2020.
