About this study
Official title: The Effect of Positive End Expiratory Pressure on Intracranial Pressure: The Brain and Lung Interaction (BALI) Study
The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between intracranial pressure and airway pressures during mechanical ventilation. This study is a single-center, prospective cohort study to be conducted at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The investigators will recruit patients with severe brain injury (GCS 8 or less) who receive intracranial pressure monitoring and mechanical ventilation as part of their routine medical care. The primary endpoint is the change in intracranial pressure as a function of positive end-expiratory pressure. There is only one study encounter with safety monitoring for up to 24 hours after. No additional follow up is required.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PEEP Titrated Mechanical VentilationOther
Subjects will receive a sequential, step-wise increase in positive end-expired pressure from 5 cmH2O to 15 cmH2O and back down to 5 cmH20. Pleural pressure and intracranial pressure will be measured at each increment. PEEP will be increased by increments of 5 cmH2O. The physiologic measurements will be obtained at regular intervals (within 5 minutes at each PEEP level) throughout the PEEP titration period. The mode of mechanical ventilation (pressure or volume control), inspiratory time and fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) will be determined by the critical care team caring for the patient. In the event that PEEP is set > 5 cmH2O, measurements will be obtained from that starting point and increased to a maximum of 15 cmH2O. At the completion of the study patients will be returned to the PEEP level they were on prior to titration of the ventilator.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing PEEP Titrated Mechanical Ventilation in people with Intracranial Pressure and Mechanical Ventilation, run by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
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 12 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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 intracranial pressure (time frame: Change from baseline to 20 minutes). 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 NCT04288076, which also lists 10 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 27 Jan 2021.
