About this study

Official title: Short-term Effects of Prone Positioning on Tissue Oxygen Saturation, Measured by Near-infrared Spectroscopy, in COVID-19 Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The purpose of this study is to monitor short-term changes in tissue oxygen saturation and local blood flow as results of changing from supine to prone position in ARDS COVID-19 patients

Read the detailed description

After obtaining consent to participate in the study, the subjects included in the study will undergo a baseline 15-minute measurement of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) measured non-invasively on the forearm by means of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Once a baseline stable StO2 value is obtained, a provocative test, consisting of a transient vascular occlusion, will be performed. The test will allow the obtention of a local metabolic rate, and a StO2 recovery rate after the ischemic stimulus.

Tissue oxygenation measurements will be performed in supine position, immediately before changing to prone positioning, and repeated after 20 minutes of stabilization, once in prone position.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in tissue oxygenation (StO2)

    Tissue oxygenation is measured as percent of oxyhemoglobin over total hemoglobin content in the sensed area (skeletal muscle)

    Measured: 20 minutes

  2. Change in local hemoglobin content (THC)

    THC is measured as microMols

    Measured: 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Compare changes in tissue oxygenation (StO2) and arterial oxygenation (SaO2)

    Arterial oxygenation (SaO2) is obtained from blood gas analysis, from an arterial blood sample, while StO2 is derived from the sensed tissue, by means of NIRS/DCS technology

    Measured: 20 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Covid19 and ARDS, Human, run by Corporacion Parc Tauli at 6 sites in 3 countries.

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 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 28 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Spain, Brazil, Mexico. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jaume Mesquida, MD, PhD (+34 937231010 ext. 21155, jmesquida@tauli.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in tissue oxygenation (StO2) (time frame: 20 minutes). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Jul 2022.
