About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Efficiency of Chest Physiotherapy Applied in a Different Order in Pediatric Intensive Care Patients

This study intends to compare the impact of chest physiotherapy applied with two different methods on physiologic parameters in children hospitalized in the intensive care unit. In the intensive care unit where the study was conducted, the patients who have a respiratory disorder and receive supplemental oxygen therapy with non-invasive mechanical ventilation or an oxygen mask are first administered an inhaler drug therapy placed in the physician's order. It is followed by chest physiotherapy and then oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal aspiration. However, in practice rendered by the researcher, it is suggested that when chest physiotherapy and aspiration are administered in the first place and then followed by an inhaler drug therapy, it might have a more positive impact on the patient's physiologic parameters. For this reason, it is intended to compare the efficiency of chest physiotherapy applied in a different order.

Read the detailed description

42 children who complied with the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. The mother or father of the children hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit of the hospital where the study is conducted will be given information about the study and asked to sign the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form". After the family's approval, they will be asked to fill out the "Parent Introductory Information Form".

The randomization method will be used to create the control group and the study group. Children to be included in the study will be placed in the groups with the randomized controlled method with 21 children in each group. The randomization of the study will be made with the online program available at the URL address https://www.randomizer.org/. Before entering the sample size in the program, lots will be drawn, and the 1st set will be assigned to the control group, and the 2nd set will be assigned to the study group. In order to determine in which group the children involved in the study will be placed, numbers from 1 to 42 will be entered into the program without repetition. Children that will constitute the study group through the program will be randomly distributed into 2 groups.

The control group (n=21) will be administered the inhaler drug routinely administered in the intensive care unit where the study is conducted and then receive chest physiotherapy (tapotement or vibration), then nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal aspiration. The study group (n=21) will first receive chest physiotherapy (tapotement or vibration) and aspiration, followed by inhaler drug therapy.

The "Patient Data Collection Forms" of both groups will be filled out. Chest physiotherapy will follow the "Tapotement and Vibration Application Procedure," and aspiration will follow the "Nasopharyngeal and Oropharyngeal Aspiration Application Procedure". The "Patient Physiologic Parameter Assessment Form" information will be recorded before the application and 30 minutes after the application. It is known that the stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine half-life is 1-3 minutes, and it is believed that after a stressful invasive intervention, the release of stress hormones increases but turns back to their normal levels in 15-20 minutes (Puntillo et al. 2001). Based on this information, vital findings will be recorded in the "Patient Physiologic Parameter Assessment Form" after 30 minutes.

Obtained data will be evaluated using necessary statistical tests in the computer environment. Evaluation methods will be selected considering if data is distributed homogenously. If it has a homogenous distribution, parametric tests will be used. If it does not have a homogenous distribution, non-parametric methods will be used.

What is being measured

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

  1. Physiological Parameter Assessment Form Showing The Change In Heart Rate

    Chest physiotherapy applied in a different order in pediatric intensive care patients causes a difference in the patient's physiologic parameters.This form prepared by the researcher includes recording pulse rate/min in the clinic. The researcher will be assessed the pulse/min at least four times before and after the chest physiotherapy in a day. The "Patient Physiologic Parameter Assessment Form" information will be recorded before the application and 20 minutes after the application. It is known that the stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine half-life is 1-3 minutes, and it is believed that after a stressful invasive intervention, the release of stress hormones increases but turns back to their normal levels in 15-20 minutes. Based on this information, the pulse will be recorded in the "Patient Physiologic Parameter Assessment Form" after 20 minutes.

    Measured: This procedure will be applied to each patient for 30 minutes 4 times a day. It will be applied for at least 2 days and until the patient is discharged.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physiological Parameter Assessment Form Showing The Change In SPO2%

    Chest physiotherapy applied in a different order in pediatric intensive care patients causes a difference in the patient's physiologic parameters.This form prepared by the researcher includes recording SPO2% in the clinic. The researcher will be assessed the SPO2% at least four times before and after the chest physiotherapy in a day. The "Patient Physiologic Parameter Assessment Form" information will be recorded before the application and 30 minutes after the application. It is known that the stress hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine half-life is 1-3 minutes, and it is believed that after a stressful invasive intervention, the release of stress hormones increases but turns back to their normal levels in 15-20 minutes. Based on this information, the SPO2% will be recorded in the "Patient Physiologic Parameter Assessment Form" after 30 minutes.

    Measured: This procedure will be applied to each patient for 30 minutes 4 times a day. It will be applied for at least 2 days and until the patient is discharged.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Physiological Parameter Assessment Form Showing The Change In Heart Rate (time frame: This procedure will be applied to each patient for 30 minutes 4 times a day. It will be applied for at least 2 days and until the patient is discharged.). 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 1 Dec 2022.
