About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Impact of Continuous Monitoring of PtC02 Measurements During Weaning From Invasive Ventilation in Neuro-injured Critical Care Patients

The investigators propose to study the value of non invasive continuous transcutaneous PtC02 monitoring for ventilatory withdrawal guidance in neuro-injured patients and to predict the risk of extubation failure in this category of patients, particularly at risk of re-intubation.

Read the detailed description

Extubation is part of the daily routine in intensive care and intensive care units. If the procedures for weaning from mechanical ventilation are well supervised by the establishment, in particular, of standardized treatment protocols, they nevertheless remain technical procedures at risk and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Extubation, defined by the withdrawal of the intubation probe, is to be distinguished from the period known as ventilatory "weaning" or "ventilation" which is represented by the separation of the patient from the invasive mechanical ventilation device. These 2 successive phases (deventilation then extubation) must be anticipated as best as possible by the intensivist in order to detect the risk factors and complications inherent in one or the other of the stages. A patient can thus be ventilable but not extubable and vice versa.

Extubation failure can be defined as the need for early reintubation within 48-72 hours of scheduled intensive care extubation. This definition takes into account the contribution of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) that can be applied in the direct consequences of extubation.

The risk factors specific to failure of extubation are well identified in the literature and differ from those associated with failure of ventilatory weaning. These risk factors are multiple but are represented in particular by obstruction of the airways, ineffectiveness of cough or bronchial congestion, swallowing disturbances and disturbances of consciousness among others.

Monitoring of transcutaneous pressure in CO2 (PtCO2) has been developed over the past twenty years as a reflection of arterial pressure in CO2 (PaCO2). To date, this type of monitoring has been developed mainly in neonatal care due to its non-invasive nature. This continuous monitoring could be an interesting tool in the evaluation of the gas exchange of the patient under mechanical ventilation, in particular in a medical or surgical resuscitation environment. This tool could thus make it possible to participate in the prediction of extubation failure in medical intensive care or general surgery during ventilatory weaning tests. There is indeed a good correlation between PaC02 and PtC02 in the intensive care patient population for PaC02 values <60 mmHg.

We therefore propose to study the benefit of using transcutaneous PtC02 monitoring for guiding ventilatory weaning in neuro-injured patients and predicting the risk of extubation failure in this category of patients, particularly at risk of re-intubation.

The main objective of the study carried out is therefore to assess the predictive value of the observed variation in PtCO2 during a spontaneous ventilation weaning test in a population of neuro-resuscitation patients at high risk of reintubation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predictive value (PPV and Se, Sp) of the PtCO2 variation for exhumation failure

    extubation failure is defined by :

    1. the need to reintubate the patient in the first 48 hours after extubation
    2. the need of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the first 48 hours after programmed extubation for a respiratory distress manifestation (therapeutic NIV) or in the first 7 days if requiring of prophylactic NIV during the first 48 hours
    3. death in the first 48 hours following extubation

    Measured: 48 hours after programmed extubation of the patient

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Difference and variation between PtC02 and PaC02 (obtained on blood gases) measurements

    gradient PtC02-PaC02

    Measured: during ventilatory weaning test

  2. Presence of a diaphragmatic dysfunction during ventilatory weaning test

    diaphragmatic dysfunction defined by echo assessment with the criteria of Boussuges (Diaphragmatic excursion < 1cm for men or < 0,9 cm for women or a diaphragmatic thickening fraction < 30 %)

    Measured: at the beginning and at the end of the ventilatory weaning test (From the beginning of the ventilatory weaning test at 0 minute to the end 30 minutes later)

  3. presence of respiratory and non respiratory complications during a period from extubation to the hospital discharge

    • lung infection, pleural effusion, ARDS defined by Berlin Criteria, atelectasia, other
    • diaphragmatic dysfunction
    • Cardiac complications (infarctus, ischemia, atrial fibrillation)
    • septic schock or an other aetiology of schock

    Measured: during hospitalization period in intensive care unit from the procedure time to discharge trough study completion (1 year)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TCM5 device (Radiometer) for PtC02 continuous measurement in people with Acute Brain Injury, run by Centre Hospitalier St Anne.

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 8 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 29 Mar 2021. 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?

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?

Predictive value (PPV and Se, Sp) of the PtCO2 variation for exhumation failure (time frame: 48 hours after programmed extubation of the patient). 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 29 Mar 2021.
