About this study

Official title: Cardiorespiratory and Acid-basic Imbalance Caused by Use of Face Mask, During Physical Exercices

The study aims to evaluate whether the use of polypropylene and elastane Lupo ® masks can be considered as a significant causal agent in cases of respiratory and acid-base imbalances. For this, gas parameters such as lactate, bicarbonate, Sat02, pH, Sat02, P02 and PC02 of people before and after the practice of aerobic physical exercises will be measured. The control group will perform the exercise without wearing a mask and the study group will perform the exercise using a mask.

Read the detailed description

The experimental phase was carried out at the Armação Atlética academy accredited by the Medical School of Pouso Alegre, following all sanitary recommendations in relation to covid-19.

The aerobic exercise performed by the participants consisted of 15 minutes of running on the treadmill without inclination, interspersing the speeds 10 km/h and 12km/h.

The evaluated clinical parameters of blood pressure, heart rate, pulse , O2 saturation and biochemical analyses of lactate, (partial oxygen pressure) PO2, (partial pressure of CO2 (carbon dioxide) PC02,(hydrogenic potential) pH ,- were collected just before exercise and shortly after that - with maximum interval between measurements of 2 minutes- through physical examination of the cardiovascular apparatus using littmann classic stetoscope iii®,Multilaser® sphygmomanometer and digital oximeter; and arterial blood collection for blood gas analysis.

The blood gas parameters were obtained before and after exercise from blood sample collection by arterial puncture of the Radial Artery performed by the nurses responsible for the blood gas service of the Samuel Libânio Clinic hospital in order to avoid errors regarding the technique. After collection, the samples were kept in a heparinized container and under cooling in an appropriate thermal box and were sent within 20 minutes to the laboratory to be analyzed by blood gas analysis.Such measures avoided the formation of microclots in the samples and the dissipation of blood gases to be analyzed as Co2 and O2 thus bypassing such possible random bias. The blood gas samples obtained were sent to the Hcsl Clinical Analysis laboratory where they underwent gas run in werfen's GEM Premier 3500® apparatus.

To perform the study, we defined a control group and study group based on the use of random sampling software that gave numbers to each participant, distributing them between the two groups. The control group will perform the exercise, without using a mask, while the study group will perform the exercise using Masks Zero Mask Sewing Virus Bac-Off Lupo® for the duration of the exercise.The specific use of this trademark mask made of 98% Polyamide and 2% Elastane ensures that there will be no variations within the study group regarding the composition of the mask, which could result in variable degrees of seals and, therefore, confounding bias to the study.

As an additional safety measure, especially for participants who have to perform the exercise without mask, since they can reinfect themselves, mobile transparent polymer plates for both groups will be temporarily installed around the treadmill. The appliance will be sanitized after each participant used it, with alcohol 70.

After performing the exercise, participants must complete the socio-demographic form sent via Forms in order to characterize such group regarding gender, weight age of participants.

The data acquired through the experiment received static treatments such as a. Classificationtest Signed by Wilcoxon by the statistician of the University of Vale do Sapucaí- Univás).

The record lists 2 sites in Brazil. 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?

variation of lactate (time frame: This variation of blood parameter was obtained through the blood gas analysis to which the participants were submitted just before the beginning of the physical exercise - with a maximum time interval of 2 minutes- and later comparing these). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05270538, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 8 Mar 2022.
