About this study

Official title: Exploratory Trial to Improve Postextubation Management for Patients at Risk for Extubation Failure

At the time of weaning from mechanical ventilation, patients with heart and/or lung conditions will be given oxygen support with alternating bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP; oxygen via face mask) and heated high flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC; oxygen via nasal cannula) to see if this method reduces the likelihood of re-intubation.

Read the detailed description

It is clinically challenging to predict when patients can be successfully removed from mechanical ventilation (MV). Liberating high-risk patients such as the elderly and those with complex, chronic cardiac or pulmonary diseases from MV is particularly challenging.

Evidence from randomized trials and meta-analyses suggests that the type of postextubation supportive care provided, such as oxygen delivery via nose or mouth, may affect the risk of reintubation. However, it is unclear which of many possible postextubation management protocols results in the best patient outcomes, particularly for this subset of high-risk patients.

The purpose of this study is therefore to assess a standardized combined protocol of postextubation oxygen delivery consisting of early, alternating BiPAP with HFNC over 24 hours following extubation. BiPAP and HFNC are both currently provided to patients as standard of care, based on clinician judgement; however, the timing and nature of the methods are variable.

What is being measured

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

  1. Re-intubation Within 72 Hours

    The number of patients who require re-intubation

    Measured: 72 hours following extubation

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Re-intubation Within 1 Week

    The number of patients who require re-intubation

    Measured: 1 week following extubation

  2. Length of Stay

    Hospital length of stay

    Measured: Through hospital discharge, an average of 10.9 ± 1.91 days

  3. Ventilator Time

    The total duration of time patients spend on a ventilator

    Measured: Through hospital discharge, an average of 10.9 ± 1.91 days

  4. Mortality

    The proportion of patients who expire during the hospital stay

    Measured: Through hospital discharge, an average of 10.9 ± 1.91 days

  5. Adverse Event Rate

    The proportion of patients experiencing an adverse event

    Measured: Through 1 week following extubation

  6. 30-day Readmission

    The proportion of patients who require re-admission within 30 days of discharge

    Measured: 30 days following discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BiPAP and HFNC in people with Ventilatory Failure, run by OhioHealth at 1 site in United States.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 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 States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Jan 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Re-intubation Within 72 Hours (time frame: 72 hours following extubation). 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 13 Jan 2022.
