About this study

Official title: Evaluation and Follow up of Diaphragm Function in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Patients With Veino-venous Extracorporeal Oxygenation Membrane

Use of veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation membrane is a therapeutic option for the management of the most severe patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Given the prolonged duration of this strategy, the question of its impact on the occurrence on diaphragm dysfunction has been raised. The present study endeavors to evaluate and follow up the prevalence, risk factors and prognosis of diaphragm dysfunction in patients with VV-ECMO.

Read the detailed description

Use of veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation membrane is a therapeutic option for the management of the most severe patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It allows to provide a protective lung ventilation by reducing the level of airway pressures generated by the ventilator. The objective is to minimize the harmful effects of mechanical ventilation in the lungs and to provide adequate gases exchanges. This strategy requires a deep sedation to allow a perfect synchrony between the patient and the ventilator. Such a synchrony puts the respiratory muscles - in particular the diaphragm - completely at rest.

Given the prolonged duration of this strategy, the question of its impact on the occurrence on diaphragm dysfunction has been raised. Such a dysfunction has been associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and poor outcomes but its effect in patients with veno-venous extracorporeal oxygenation membrane has never been evaluated so far.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diaphragm function

    as defined by the pressure generating capacity of the diaphragm < 11 cmH2O

    Measured: until day 28

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Duration of ECMO

    from inclusion until ECMO removal

    Measured: until day 60

  2. Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation

    from inclusion until extubation

    Measured: until day 60

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing diaphragmatic function measurements and diaphragmatic ultrasound in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 5 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 15 Jun 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: No more Covid patients in the service and number of patients included sufficient for stastistical analysis.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Diaphragm function (time frame: until day 28). 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 NCT04613752, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Jun 2022.
