About this study

Official title: Effects of Extravascular Lung Water on Prone Position Efficacy in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The study will investigate the influence that extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) could have on the efficacy and persistance of efficacy of prone position in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Prone position will increase blood oxygenation in 75% of the cases and will be persistant in half of the cases. Unfortunately, no clinical criteria has been found correlated with efficacy. The quantity of lung edema, with increased lung weight, could be a determinant factor of efficacy and the persistance of the efficacy. EVLWi, assessed with the PiCCO2 device, reflects the quantity of fluid accumulated in interstitial and alveolar spaces.

The hypothesis is that patients with higher EVLWi will have less efficacy of prone position in oxygenation and also that the beneficial effects of prone position will last shorter compared to patients with lower EVLWi.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Prone position in patients with ARDSOther

    Transpulmonary thermodilution, arterial blood gas and recruitment/inflation calculation will be made every 8 hours: at baseline (just before prone position), after eight hours of prone position, after 16 hours of prone position (end of prone position), after 24 hours ( 8 hours after the end of prone position).

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) just before prone position (baseline) and the time course of the partial arterial pressure in oxygen over inspired fraction of oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) ratio during prone position.

    EVLWi is the amount of water contained in the lungs outside the pulmonary vasculature. It can be measured using the transpulmonary thermodilution technique with the PiCCO2 device (Pulsion Medical Systems, Feldkirchen, Germany)

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation between extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) just before prone position (baseline) and the time course of the recruitment/inflation ratio during prone position.

    recruitment/inflation ratio is a validated method to characterize the lung recruitability with high positive expiratory pressure, at the bedside of patients with ARDS

    Measured: up to 24 hours

  2. Correlation between extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) at the end of prone position and the time course of the partial arterial pressure in oxygen over inspired fraction of oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) ratio in the next eight hours after prone position

    EVLWi is the amount of water contained in the lungs outside the pulmonary vasculature. It can be measured using the transpulmonary thermodilution technique with the PiCCO2 device (Pulsion Medical Systems, Feldkirchen, Germany)

    Measured: up to 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Adult or Child, run by Bicetre Hospital.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xavier Monnet, MD, PhD (+33-(0)6660862669, xavier.monnet@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between extravascular lung water index (EVLWi) just before prone position (baseline) and the time course of the partial arterial pressure in oxygen over inspired fraction of oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) ratio during prone position. (time frame: 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 19 Nov 2020.
