About this study

Official title: Problems of Measurement and Evaluation of Breathing Effort in Spontaneously Breathing Subjects

The aim of the research project is to evaluate the breathing effort using the Work of Breathing (WoB) and Pressure-Time Product (PTP) parameters, depending on the increasing flow resistance. The research project is concerned with assessing the increased (imposed) breathing effort using the Work of Breathing (iWoB) and the Pressure-Time Product (iPTP).

The main hypothesis tested is the differential effect of flow resistance on iWoB and iPTP parameters in spontaneous breathing of healthy probands.

Read the detailed description

Due to the different calculation of iWoB and iWoB, these parameters may be affected at higher flow resistance values. The proposed experiment will be used to compare iWoB and iPTP obtained during spontaneous breathing to healthy subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • Breathing through a system with adjustable flow resistanceDevice

    The proband will breathe through the adjustable flow resistance within the experiment, to which a standard D-lite Flow sensor will be connected, and the airway pressure, flow, minute consumption, oxygen and carbon dioxide, tidal volume, oxygen saturation of peripheral blood and oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in both inspired and expired air will be recorded using the Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Patient Monitor vital signs monitor.

    The proband will breathe through the flow resistors in a randomized order, and pre-defined three-minute pauses will be maintained between measurements with different flow resistance values. Each measurement will take approximately two minutes and will be measured on ten different flow resistances.

What is being measured

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

  1. iWoB

    imposed work of breathing in J/s/L

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. iPTP

    imposed pressure time product in Pa.s/L

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Model description
In the experiment, the proband will breathe through the D-Lite measuring screen of the Datex-Ohmeda S/5 Patient Monitor patient monitor (GE, USA). Unlike clinical practice, an adjustable flow resistance will be connected to the system. The flow resistance is set by adjustable by a removable diaphragm with different hole diameters according to the intended flow resistance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Breathing through a system with adjustable flow resistance in people with Healthy, run by Czech Technical University in Prague at 1 site in Czechia.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 26 Feb 2021. 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 Czechia. 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 Karel Roubík, Prof. (+420603479901, roubik@fbmi.cvut.cz), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

iWoB (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 2 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 NCT04051645, which also lists 5 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 26 Feb 2021.
