About this study

Research question: Are the ventilatory variables related to mechanical power associated with the outcome of subjects who received mechanical ventilation (MV) for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) secondary to pneumonia (NMN) due to COVID-19?

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the association between the ventilatory variables of mechanical power and the outcome of the subjects in terms of mortality, days on MV and days free of MV at 28 days (both in survivors).

Secondary Objectives:

  • Evaluate the association of demographic and gas exchange variables with the outcome of the subjects.

METHODOLOGY

Study design: retrospective and observational, analytical.

Operational definition of variables

Ventilatory variables:

  • Global mechanical power: 0.098 × Tidal Volume × Respiratory Rate × (Peak Pressure - ½ Distension Pressure)
  • Dynamic elastic mechanical power: 0.098 × Tidal Volume × Respiratory Rate × 0.5 × Distension Pressure
  • Static elastic mechanical power: 0.098 × Tidal Volume × Respiratory Rate × PEEP
  • Resistive mechanical power: 0.098 × Tidal Volume × Respiratory Rate × (Peak Pressure - Plateau Pressure)
  • Cyclic Strain: DP x 4 + Respiratory Rate.
  • Driving Pressure adjusted to predicted body weight: Driving Pressure / Tidal Volume (in ml / kg of predicted weight).

Demographic Variables:

  • Age: in years.
  • Sex: female / male.
  • ARDS Classification:
  • Mild (PaO2 / FIO2 ≤ 300 mm Hg and > 200 mm Hg)
  • Moderate (PaO2 / FIO2 ≤ 200 mm Hg and > 100 mm Hg)
  • Severe (PaO2 / FIO2 ≤ 100 mm Hg)
  • Body mass index: weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.

Gas Exchange Variables:

  • Ventilatory quotient: (Respiratory Rate x Tidal Volume x PCO2) / (Predicted Weight x 100 ml x 37.5)
  • Pa/FiO2: Arterial oxygen pressure/ Fraction of inspired oxygen Outcome Variables
  • Mortality
  • MV-free days at 28 days
  • MV days Population and scope of study: Subjects registered in the ICU 2 database of the Francisco Santojanni Donation Hospital of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, who have received MV for ARDS with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia by polymerase chain reaction.

Study period: Data from subjects admitted from April 2020 to August 2021 will be analyzed.

Results analysis plan: A descriptive analysis of the clinical variables will be performed using the mean and standard deviation (SD), if the distribution is normal, or the median and interquartile range (IQR) otherwise.

Categorical variables will be presented as absolute number of presentation and percentage.

A value of p<0.05 will be considered as statistically significant.

SPSS software will be used for data analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Mechanics and Respiration, Artificial, run by Hospital Donación Francisco Santojanni at 1 site in Argentina.

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 1 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 14 Jul 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 Argentina. 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?

global mechanical power (time frame: april 2020 to august 2021). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jul 2023.
