Trial summary

Respiratory failure occurs when the lung fails to perform one or both of its roles in gas exchange; oxygenation and/or ventilation. Presentations of respiratory failure can be mild requiring supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula to more severe requiring invasive mechanical ventilation as see in acute respiratory… Read more about this study

About this study

Respiratory failure occurs when the lung fails to perform one or both of its roles in gas exchange; oxygenation and/or ventilation. Presentations of respiratory failure can be mild requiring supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula to more severe requiring invasive mechanical ventilation as see in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).It is important to provide supportive care through noninvasive respiratory support devices but also to minimize risk associated with those supportive devices such as ventilator induced lung injury (VILI) and/or patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI). Central to risk minimization is decreasing mechanical stress and strain and optimizing transpulmonary pressure or the distending pressure across the lung, minimizing overdistention and collapse. Patient positioning impacts ventilation/perfusion and transpulmonary pressure. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging technology that offers a noninvasive, real-time, radiation free method to assess distribution of ventilation at the bedside. The investigators plan to obtain observational data regarding distribution of ventilation during routine standard of care in the ICU, with special emphasis on postural changes and effects of neuromuscular blockade, to provide insight into ventilation/perfusion matching, lung mechanics in respiratory failure, other pulmonary pathological processes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Electrical Impedance tomographyDevice

    Patients will be monitored with electrical impedance tomography during routine care with special attention to effects of neuromuscular blockade and postural changes.

  • Lung mechanics and gas exchangeOther

    Patient lung mechanics and gas exchange will be monitored during routine clinical care, with specific attention to postural changes and use of neuromuscular blockade.

What is being measured

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

  1. Distribution of ventilation

    Regional ventilation distribution differences measured through electrical impedance tomography (EIT)

    Measured: change from baseline at 15 minutes and 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Lung mechanics

    Lung compliance

    Measured: Baseline, then at 15 minutes and 1 hour

  2. Oxygenation

    Oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry (SpO2) and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) as well as arterial blood gas partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2). Results will be reported as either PaO2/FiO2 ratio or SpO2/FiO2 ratio (depending on availability of arterial blood gas measurements)

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  3. Blood Gas Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide (PaCO2) (mmHg)

    Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) (mmHg)

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

  4. Blood Gas pH

    Blood Gas pH

    Measured: Up to 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Failure and Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult, run by University of California, San Diego at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 Dec 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Distribution of ventilation (time frame: change from baseline at 15 minutes and 1 hour). 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 Dec 2024.
