Read the detailed description

Subjects:

The study targets the children from both sexes.diagnosed with pneumonia in intensive care unit. Sample size estimation will be carried out to determine the recruited number of children, selected randomly from Cairo University pediatric specialized hospital, Cairo to participate in the study.

Study design:

Randomized controlled clinical trial. Children will receive intervention type randomly,25 child will receive traditional chest physical therapy (postural drainage, percussion and vibration, end expiratory pressure) and bed mobility exercise.and the other 25 child will receive cough assist device in addition to traditional chest physical therapy (postural drainage, percussion and vibration, end expiratory pressure) and bed mobility exercise.

Children will be assessed by measuring heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure which reflect the physiological status, oxygen saturation,expired Tidal Volume and dynamic lung compliance which reflect clinical improvement of chest condition before and after receiving intervention

Being tested
Cough assist device

What participants receive

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

  • Cough assist deviceDevice

    Also called Designed chest physical therapy

    Cough assist device Cough Assist clears secretions from the lungs by gradually applying positive air pressure to the airway and then rapidly shifting to negative air pressure . The resulting high expiratory flow simulates a deep, natural cough.

    Designed chest physical therapy Percussion, vibration, end expiratory pressure and bed mobility exercise.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of oxygen saturation

    Pulse oximeter attached to the child and recorded oxygen saturation before and after intervention.

    Measured: 14 days for each participant or time of weaning

  2. Assessment of expired Tidal Volume

    Expired Tidal volume recorded from mechanical ventilation attached to the child before and after intervention

    Measured: 14 days for each participant or time of weaning

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cough assist device in people with Pneumonia Childhood and Intensive Care Unit, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 4 Dec 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 Egypt. 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?

Assessment of oxygen saturation (time frame: 14 days for each participant or time of weaning). The study lists 2 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 4 Dec 2023.
