An observational study of Critical Illness and ARDS, run by Osaka University at 1 site in Japan.
Trial summary
Novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2: severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2) pneumonia often develop the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

About this study
Official title: Assessment of Lung Recruitablity of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome With SARS-CoV-2 Pneumonia by Electrical Impedance Tomography: a Prospective Observational Study
Novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2: severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2) pneumonia often develop the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lung protective ventilation strategy consisting of low tidal volume and high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is recommended. However, it is not clear whether injured lungs from SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia have the same mechanical properties, especially response to PEEP as common ARDS. Therefore, the investigators propose an observational study to analyze respiratory mechanics and lung recruitablity using EIT (electrical impedance tomography) in patients with ARDS due to SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia.
Read the detailed description
The multi-center prospective observational study will enroll 20 adult ARDS patients under mechanical ventilation from Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in Japan and Peru. Informed consent will be waived due to the nature of observational study. Patients with positive SARS-CoV-2 infection will be included. Prior to initiating the protocol, patients will be sedated deeply with sedatives and/or opioids and paralyzed with a continuous infusion of rocuronium. The distribution of ventilation will be evaluated with EIT.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2021. 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 Japan. 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?
The distribution of ventilation (time frame: Through study completion (up to 24 hours)). 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 1 Jul 2021.
