Trial summary

High flow nasal cannula administration in critically ill patients is frequently used to improve acute respiratory failure or to prevent respiratory failure after extubation. It acts generating a mild positive pressure in the airways and by reducing respiratory effort of patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Invasive Measurement of Positive Tracheal Pressure Generated by High Flow Nasal Oxygen Administration in Critically Ill Patients After Extubation: a Physiologic Study.

High flow nasal cannula administration in critically ill patients is frequently used to improve acute respiratory failure or to prevent respiratory failure after extubation.

It acts generating a mild positive pressure in the airways and by reducing respiratory effort of patients.

However to the best of our knowledge, no study to date has directly measured the amount of positive pressure generated in the trachea of patients.

The primary aim, therefore, of this study measures this positive pressure after extubation in critically ill patients.

Being tested
HIGH FLOW NASAL OXYGEN

What participants receive

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

  • HIGH FLOW NASAL OXYGENDevice

    Also called AIRVO2, FISHER&PAYKEL

    BEFORE EXTUBATION, AN AIRWAY EXCHANGE CATHETER (AEC) WILL BE PUT INTO THE PATIENTS' TRACHEA AND IT WILL REMAIN IN SITE AFTER EXTUBATION. THROUGH AN AEC CONNECTED TO A PRESSURE MONITOR, IT WILL BE RECORDED TRACHEAL PRESSURE DURING SPONTANEOUSLY BREATHING PATIENT AT DIFFERENT FLOW RATES OF HFNC THAT WILL BE APPLIED JUST AFTER EXTUBATION.

    MEANWHILE, VITAL PARAMETERS RECORDED WITH A MULTIPARAMETRIC MONITOR WILL BE RECORDED.

    FINALLY, MONITORING OF ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF DIAPHRAGM WILL BE RECORDED THROUGH A DEDICATED NASOGASTRIC TUBE TO EVALUATE IT AT DIFFERENT FLOW RATES.

What is being measured

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

  1. HFNC-PEEP

    THE LEVEL OF POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE GENERATED BY DIFFERENT FLOW RATES OX OXYGEN WILL BE RECORDED.

    FLOW RATE STARTS AT 10 L/MIN AND IT WILL BE INCREASED A 10 L/MIN STEP EVERY 30 MINUTES UNTIL 60 L/MIN.

    Measured: 3 HOURS

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. HFNC-EADI

    ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF THE DIAPHRAGM WILL BE RECORDED THROUGH A DEDICATED NASOGASTRIC TUBE DURING ALL THE PROCESS.

    FLOW RATE STARTS AT 10 L/MIN AND IT WILL BE INCREASED A 10 L/MIN STEP EVERY 30 MINUTES UNTIL 60 L/MIN.

    Measured: 3 HOURS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Failure and High Flow Nasal Cannula, run by Azienda Sanitaria-Universitaria Integrata di Udine at 1 site in Italy.

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 0 inclusion and 7 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 31 Jan 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Cristian Deana, MD (+390432552410, cristian.deana@asufc.sanita.fvg.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

HFNC-PEEP (time frame: 3 HOURS). 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 31 Jan 2023.
