Trial summary

Prospective observational cohort study of patients admitted to hospital with suspected hypercapnic respiratory failure and requiring treatment with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) as part of standard, routine management.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study to Investigate the Physiological Agreement Between Arterial Sampling (the Reference Method) and Mathematically Arterialised Venous Blood

Prospective observational cohort study of patients admitted to hospital with suspected hypercapnic respiratory failure and requiring treatment with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) as part of standard, routine management. Contemporaneous blood gas samples will be obtained via arterial, capillary, and venous methods. The venous samples will undergo mathematical arterialisation via the v-TAC system. In line with standard medical care, arterial samples will be obtained before starting NIV and at two set points afterwards (day 1 post-NIV, and pre-discharge). Pre-existing clinical thresholds will be used to assess the reliability of v-TAC against ABG, the existing gold standard and will conduct a retrospective model of decision-making once the blood sampling component of the study is concluded.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in blood carbon dioxide level (PaCO2)

    Change in PaCO2 between the pre-NIV (non-invasive ventilation) and day 1 NIV samples for ABG (arterial blood gas) versus v-TAC (arterialised venous blood gas)

    Measured: Between day 0 and day 1

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in PaCO2 between ABG versus v-TAC versus Capillary Blood Gas (CBG) versus Venous Blood Gas (VBG)

    Change in PaCO2 between ABG versus v-TAC versus Capillary Blood Gas (CBG) versus Venous Blood Gas (VBG) between the pre-NIV and day 1 samples

    Measured: Between day 0 and day 1

  2. Change in PaCO2 between ABG versus v-TAC versus Capillary Blood Gas (CBG) versus Venous Blood Gas (VBG)

    Change in PaCO2 between ABG versus v-TAC versus Capillary Blood Gas (CBG) versus Venous Blood Gas (VBG) between the pre-NIV and pre-discharge samples

    Measured: Between day 0 and through to study completion, up to 3 days

  3. Relative difficult in sampling

    Frequency of sampling error rate for ABG versus CBG versus VBG versus V-TAC

    Measured: Between day 0 and through to study completion, up to 3 days

  4. Patient experience

    Using Numeric Pain Scale where 0 is no pain, 5 is moderate pain and 10 is worst pain possible

    Measured: Between day 0 and through to study completion, up to 3 days

  5. Patient preference

    Patient preference for method of blood gas sampling will be recorded in medical records

    Measured: Between day 0 and through to study completion, up to 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure, run by Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 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 28 Sep 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Change in blood carbon dioxide level (PaCO2) (time frame: Between day 0 and day 1). 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 NCT04072848, 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 28 Sep 2022.
