Trial summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the function of lung and diaphragm ultrasound during weaning from mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 patients. The aim of this study was that the lung ultrasound score and diaphragm muscle mobility could be a potential predictive factor of weaning success. Read more about this study

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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: admission to a COVID-19 ICU with hypoxemic respiratory failure; start of weaning from mechanical ventilation

Who may be able to join

  • age > 18 years,
  • critically ill patients with COVID-19 (defined as those requiring mechanical ventilation due to respiratory failure), and eligible for their first SBT according to the attending physician's judgement that the underlying disease which led to intubation had sufficiently resolved.

Who cannot join

  • patients with previous cardiothoracic surgery or pleurodesis and patients who presented with stridor (due to upper airway involvement) as a cause of extubation failure
  • neuromuscular disease

Official title: Lung and Diaphragm Ultrasound Evaluation During Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation in COVID-19 Patients:A Prospective, Observational Study

The aim of this study was that the lung ultrasound score and diaphragm muscle mobility could be a potential predictive factor of weaning success.

What participants receive

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

  • Point-of-Care UltrasoundOther

    Ultrasonographic scans of the lung and right hemidiaphragm were acquired after 30 min from the beginning of the SBT, or immediately before reconnecting the patient to the ventilator in the case of SBT failure occurring before

ultrasoundPulmonary and diaphragm ultrasound was evaluated within one hour before withdrawal
Receives: Other: Point-of-Care Ultrasound

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary end-point was to verify the lung and diaphragm ultrasound evaluation if the predicts weaning success/failure from mechanical ventilation

    Weaning failure was defined as failure to pass the spontaneous-breathing trial or the need for re-intubation within 48 h following extubation

    Measured: spontaneous-breathing trial started until 48 hours following extubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The secondary outcome was to verify the predictive value of the traditional weaning parameters

    Weaning failure was defined as failure to pass the spontaneous-breathing trial or the need for re-intubation within 48 h following extubation

    Measured: spontaneous-breathing trial started until 48 hours following extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Weaning and COVID-19, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 27 Apr 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 China. 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?

The primary end-point was to verify the lung and diaphragm ultrasound evaluation if the predicts weaning success/failure from mechanical ventilation (time frame: spontaneous-breathing trial started until 48 hours following extubation). 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 NCT05706441, 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 27 Apr 2023.
