Trial summary

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous syndrome with similar clinicopathological feathers caused by different etiologies. Respiratory supportive strategies is the main ARDS management, and the guidelines recommend low tidal volume to improve clinical outcomes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Physiological Effect of Prone Position in Patients With Ultra-low Tidal Volume Ventilation

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a heterogeneous syndrome with similar clinicopathological feathers caused by different etiologies. Respiratory supportive strategies is the main ARDS management, and the guidelines recommend low tidal volume to improve clinical outcomes. To be note, overdistension can still occur even if using a tidal volume as low as 6 ml/kg, given the heterogeneous nature of the syndrome. Therefore, adjusting tidal volume level to less than 6ml/kg may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and thus improve outcomes, especially in patients with severe lung injury. Prone position is also an important management in severe ARDS. Prone position can improve ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) matching and reduce the risk of VILI by recruiting dorsal collapsed alveoli. Meanwhile, prone position has also been shown to improve hemodynamics. Recent studies have showed that prone position did not reduce duration of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) and 90-day mortality in patients with ARDS who receive VV-ECMO with ultra-low tidal volume ventilation. Therefore, the effect of PP on ventilation and lung blood flow in ARDS patients treated with VV-ECMO wiht ultra-low tidal volume ventilation remains unclear.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Prone Position, run by Southeast University, China 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 1 inclusion and 8 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 30 Apr 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact liu ling, phD (025-83262550, liulingdoctor@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ventilation-perfusion mathching (time frame: up to 24 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 30 Apr 2024.
