About this study

Official title: Patient Ventilator Asynchrony as a Predictor of Weaning Failure in Mechanically Ventilated COPD Patients

Patient ventilator asynchrony is a common problem in mechanically ventilated patients .It is associated with adverse effects including increased work of breathing, patient discomfort, increased need for sedation, prolonged mechanical ventilation , weaning difficulties and weaning failure. 100 mechanically ventilated COPD patients were enrolled in this prospective study .Detection of patient ventilator asynchrony was done on 30-minute sessions at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours following intubation by visual assessment of pressure, flow and volume graphs on ventilator .

Read the detailed description

Patient-ventilator asynchrony is defined as a lack of organization between the patient and ventilator timing of both inspiration and expiration . It is a commonly reported problem during mechanical ventilation. Thille et al. found that 24% of patients developed asynchrony in at least ten percent of their breaths, moreover they stated that the most frequent asynchronies was each of ineffective triggering and double triggering . Eighty percent of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients experienced ineffective triggering, where it is considered the most frequent asynchrony in this group of patients. Asynchrony between Patient and ventilator also leads to prolonged duration of invasive ventilation, and increase possibility of weaning failure.

Both spread and intensity of asynchrony during the early phase of weaning in COPD patients has never satisfactorily described. The aim of the current study was to describe the patient-ventilator asynchrony and its impact on weaning outcome in mechanically ventilated COPD patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. To study effect of different types of ventilator asynchrony on weaning in mechanically ventilated COPD patients

    Detection of patient ventilator asynchrony was done on 30-minute sessions following intubation by visual assessment of pressure, flow

    and volume graphs on ventilator .Repeated measures are done from the begining of mechanical ventilation and type of asynchronies including ineffective trigger double trigger, auto trigger , delayed cycle, early cycle and flow asynchrony. were recorded.

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease(COPD), run by Reham Mohammed Elmorshedy at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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 10 Feb 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 Egypt. 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?

To study effect of different types of ventilator asynchrony on weaning in mechanically ventilated COPD patients (time frame: One year). 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 10 Feb 2021.
