Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 11 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: Pediatric patients that visit the hospital for any kind of surgery, therefore requireing mechanical ventilation. Monitoring of Regional Distribution of Ventilation and Lung Volume are of clinical interest in these patients.

Who may be able to join

  • Pediatric male or female patients excluding preterm infants
  • Patients with a chest circumference between 36 and 72 cm
  • Patients ≤ 12 years.
  • Patients with a tidal volume > 20 ml, i.e., children with a body weight of more than 3.3 kg (assuming a targeted tidal volume of 6 mL/kg body weight)
  • Patients for whom mechanical ventilation is intended
  • Patients whose regional distribution of ventilation and of lung volume are of clinical interest
  • Patients who are (should be) ventilated via an artificial airway access, whereby the ventilator used is compatible with PulmoVista 500
  • Patients and / or their legal guardians or legal representatives who have given written informed consent to participate in the study

Who cannot join

  • Patients who are supplied with a permanent or temporary pacemaker, an implantable defibrillator or other medical devices that emit electrical energy (e.g. cochlea amplifier implant)
  • Patients with a tidal volume ≤ 20 ml
  • Patients in whom the application of the electrode belt could be impaired by wound care or infections in the chest area
  • Female patients for whom pregnancy cannot be excluded; a pregnancy test should be performed at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Patients with an alleged allergic reaction to the materials of the electrode belt
  • Patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) > 40
  • Evidence that suggests that the patient or their legal representative will not comply with the protocol requirements
  • Patients with a proven infectious disease (e.g. SARS-COV-19, MRSA) that requires isolation of the patient

About this study

Official title: Prospective, Open, Non-interventional Study to Assess the Ability of an Electrical Impedance Tomograph (PlumoVista 500) to Monitor Changes in Lung Ventilation Over Time in Mechanically Ventilated Children.

This observational PMCF study will be conducted to generate and gather clinical data from the intended target population of pediatric patients.

The intention for Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) is to confirm the performance and safety of a device throughout the device's lifecycle.

PulmoVista 500 is a lung function monitor for clinical use which continuously generates cross-sectional images of the lung function by applying the technique of electrical impedance tomography (EIT).

What is being measured

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

  1. assess the capability of PulmoVista 500 for continuous monitoring of ventilation

    To assess the capability of PulmoVista 500 for continuous monitoring of ventilation, the cross-correlation function (CCF) between the global impedance waveform of EIT and global tidal volume waveforms of a ventilator across multiple respiratory cycles in patients under controlled mechanical ventilation, will be evaluated.

    Measured: Duration per participant: 2 - 3 days (screening, procedure with PulmoVista 500, safety follow-up). Measurements with PulmoVista 500 per patient during mechanical ventilation is anticipated for a maximum of 10 minutes in total.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Monitoring of Regional Distribution of Ventilation and Monitoring of Lung Volume, run by Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA at 1 site in Germany.

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 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 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 Germany. 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?

assess the capability of PulmoVista 500 for continuous monitoring of ventilation (time frame: Duration per participant: 2 - 3 days (screening, procedure with PulmoVista 500, safety follow-up). Measurements with PulmoVista 500 per patient during mechanical ventilation is anticipated for a maximum of 10 minutes in total.). 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 NCT04873999, 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 29 Mar 2022.
