About this study

Official title: Deformation of the Diaphragm Zone of Apposition During the Loading of the Respiratory System in the Healthy Volunteer. Evaluation of a New Index Measured by Speckle Tracking

The assessment of the work of the respiratory muscles is a fundamental clinical data in intensive care, especially to guide the management of patients requiring ventilatory support. This data is difficult to access in current practice. The reference technique to estimate the work of breathing (transdiaphragmatic pressure) is not feasible in clinical routine and evaluates only the respiratory work of the diaphragm, not that of the accessory muscles. The ultrasound technique of speckle tracking allows a fine and multidimensional analysis of the deformation of the respiratory muscles during the respiratory cycle.

The investigators hypothesize that the analysis of the multidimensional deformation of the diaphragm at the level of the apposition zone can produce a robust and reproducible index, which is correlated with the work of breathing. The performance of this index will be compared to that of the thickening fraction of the diaphragm. On the other hand, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility of measuring the thickening of the accessory respiratory muscles (scalene and intercostal).

Read the detailed description

Fifteen healthy subjects will be equipped with a double-balloon esophagogastric tube and subjected to increasing and gradual loading of the respiratory system by a negative-pressure inspiration device. The respiratory work will be recorded continuously by measuring the transdiaphragmatic pressure (reference technique).

The recording of the deformation of the diaphragmatic apposition zone by speckle tracking technique will make it possible to define a multi-dimensional deformation index of this muscular portion.

The reproducibility and the repeatability of this index will be evaluated then this index will be compared to the reference technique, as well as to the fraction of thickening. The deformation of the accessory muscles will also be evaluated in a second step.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Physiology, run by Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 9 Jun 2020. 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 France. 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?

Coefficient of reproducibility (time frame: 1 hour). 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 9 Jun 2020.
