About this study

Official title: POStoperative INTELLiVENT-adaptive Support VEntilation in Cardiac Surgery Patients II (POSITiVE II) - a Randomized Clinical Trial

'POStoperative INTELLiVENT-adaptive support VEntilation in cardiac surgery patients II (POSITiVE II) is an investigator-initiated, international, multicenter, parallel, randomized clinical trial in patients after cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

To compare INTELLiVENT-ASV with conventional ventilation with respect to (i.) quality of ventilation; and (ii.) ICU nursing staff workload in an international cohort of participants receiving postoperative ventilation after cardiac surgery. This study will also determine the effects of INTELLiVENT-ASV on clinical outcomes, including (iii.) duration of postoperative ventilation and (iv.) length of stay in ICU.

What participants receive

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

  • INTELLiVENT-ASV.Device

    INTELLiVENT-ASV® is a closed-loop ventilation mode that automatically adjusts respiratory rate and tidal volume according to the oxygen and ventilatory patient needs

Study groups in NCT06178510
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
INTELLiVENT-ASVOtherThe ventilator set parameters such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, and positive end-expiratory pressure to ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation. The investigators monitor it and define clinical target.
Receives: Device: INTELLiVENT-ASV.
conventional ventilationNo interventionThe investigators set and monitor parameters such as tidal volume, respiratory rate, and positive end-expiratory pressure to ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quality of ventilation

    The primary outcome is quality of ventilation, which is the proportion of time spent in three predefined and previously used zones of ventilation in the first 2 hours of postoperative ventilation.

    • An optimal zone = Tidal volume (TV) = 4-8 ml/kg of the predicted body weight (PBW) with an EtCO2 = 30-45mmHg, a plateau pressure = <31cmH2O and SpO2 = 93-98%.
    • An acceptable zone = TV = 8-12 ml/kg of PBW with an EtCO2 = 25-30 or 45-50mmHg, a plateau pressure = 31-35 cmH2O and SpO2 = 85-93% or >98%.
    • An unacceptable zone = TV >12 ml/kg of PBW or an EtCO2 = <25 or >50mmHg, plateau pressure >35 cmH2O or SpO2 = <85%.

    Measured: During the first 2 hours, since admission on the ICU with the start of the intervention ventilation mode.

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. ICU nursing staff workload

    ICU nursing staff workload, which is captured by the ventilator software collecting data on alarms (number of alarms, types of alarm, duration of alarm, responses to alarm, alarm settings and adjustments, breath-by-breath alarm data, and any manual intervention at the ventilator) during postoperative care in the ICU

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Duration of postoperative ventilation

    The time from admission on the ICU until extubation.

    Measured: 8 hours or until extubation

  3. Patient-ventilator asynchrony

    patient-ventilator asynchrony requiring deepening of sedation and/or administration of muscle relaxants

    Measured: Up to 6 hours of mechanical ventilation time

  4. Proportion of breath spent in zones of ventilation

    Proportion of breaths spent in predefined and previously used zones of ventilation in the first 6 hours of postoperative ventilation.

    • An optimal zone = Tidal volume (TV) = 4-8 ml/kg of the predicted body weight (PBW) with an EtCO2 = 30-45mmHg, a plateau pressure = <31cmH2O and SpO2 = 93-98%.
    • An acceptable zone = TV = 8-12 ml/kg of PBW with an EtCO2 = 25-30 or 45-50mmHg, a plateau pressure = 31-35 cmH2O and SpO2 = 85-93% or >98%.
    • An unacceptable zone = TV >12 ml/kg of PBW or an EtCO2 = <25 or >50mmHg, plateau pressure >35 cmH2O or SpO2 = <85%.

    Measured: Up to 6 hours of mechanical ventilation time

  5. ICU length of stay

    Length of stay in the ICU

    Measured: From date of ICU admission until the date of ICU discharge, assessed up to 30 days

  6. Hospital length of stay

    Length of stay in hospital

    Measured: From date of hospital admission until the date of hospital discharge, assessed up to 30 days

  7. Mortality

    Mortality in ICU or hospital

    Measured: 28-day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing INTELLiVENT-ASV. in people with Ventilator Lung, run by Medical University of Vienna at 1 site in Austria.

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 3 inclusion and 17 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2024. 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 Austria. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Edda Tschernko, MD (00 43 1 40400 41090, edda.tschernko@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of ventilation (time frame: During the first 2 hours, since admission on the ICU with the start of the intervention ventilation mode.). 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 NCT06178510, 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 4 Nov 2024.
