About this study

Official title: Effectness of Treatment With Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation in Surgical Critically Ill Patients With Impaired Cough Function

Patients defined with impaired cough function as maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) < 60cmH2O. Collected the patients in our surgical ICU who are able to reach 6-8CC/IBW under pressure support mode for 24 hours and MEP < 60cmH2O. Then the patients will be allocated to 3 groups to receive (1) conventional CPT (control group) (2) MI-E (study group A) (3) MI-E plus CPT (study group B) until 48 hours after extubation. Reintubation rates, ICU mortality and post-extubation ICU length of stay will be analyzed to evaluate its effects.

Read the detailed description

Endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation are always used to treat acute respiratory failure in critically ill patients. Successful weaning from ventilator and extubation are crucial to determine the prognosis when patient's underlying disease getting improvement. The reasons for extubation failure include lack of improvement of on the work of breathing, hypoxemia, respiratory acidosis, conscious disturbance and retained respiratory secretions, etc. In our clinical practice, the factor of retained respiratory secretions plays an important role in successful extubation.

Traditional chest physiotherapy (CPT) is commonly used to help the critically patients in the effective expulsion of airway secretions. In recent years, new advanced techniques mechanical insufflations-exsufflation (MI-E) and high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO)have been developed to get more effective to remove secretions for patients suffered from acute respiratory failure. The above devices have been described as an effective techniques for patients with chronic neuromuscular weakness, cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. By the knowledge, only one study mentioned about MI-E could reduce the reintubation rate and shorten the ICU length of stay. But its limitations include less of case number and not focusing on impaired cough function patients.

In this study, patients defined with impaired cough function as maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) < 60cmH2O. Collected the patients in our surgical ICU who are able to reach 6-8CC/IBW under pressure support mode for 24 hours and MEP < 60cmH2O. Then the patients will be allocated to 3 groups to receive (1) conventional CPT (control group) (2) MI-E (study group A) (3) MI-E plus CPT (study group B) until 48 hours after extubation. Reintubation rates, ICU mortality and post-extubation ICU length of stay will be analyzed to evaluate its effects.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MIE in people with Mortality, run by Chimei Medical Center 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 8 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?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

mortality rate (time frame: 1 year). 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 Nov 2019.
