About this study

Official title: Single Breath Counting Test for Acute Respiratory Failure in Emergency Department: Multicenter Observational Prospective Trial (STARED-TRIAL)

The purpose of the study is to determine whether SBCT is a useful tool for diagnosing the main form of failure respiratory acute and to define the SBCT limit associated with insufficiency respiratory in this population, the requirement for NIV or invasive ventilation.

Furthermore, the correlation with the most common scores and indices used in the emergency room will be studied, such as: HACOR, MEW, REMS SCORE, ROS, CURB-65, qSOFA, SEVERITY INDEX OF PNEUMONIA, GWTG HF, LUNG ULTRASOUND SCORE, SINGLE BREATH COUNT

Read the detailed description

Single breath counting test (SBCT) is the measurement of how far an individual can count in a normal speaking voice after a maximal effort inspiration. Previous work has demonstrated that SBCT has good correlation with the gold standard measures of pulmonary function test, peak expiratory flow rate and forced expiratory volume in the first second.

The easy of the SBCT makes this test appealing for rapid assessment of respiratory status overall in patients admitted for acute respiratory failure and we hypothesized that it will be valuable, replicable and fast tools for bedside assessment of respiratory function in Emergency Department.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether SBCT is a useful tool for diagnosis of the major form of acute respiratory failure and to define the cut-off limit of SBCT associated to respiratory failure in this population, requirement of NIV or invasive ventilation. Moreover, it will be studied the correlation with the most common scores and indexes used in emergency department like: HACOR, MEW, REMS SCORE, ROS, CURB-65, qSOFA, PNEUMONIA SEVERITY INDEX, GWTG-HF, LUNG ULTRASOUND SCORE, SINGLE BREATH COUNTING TEST

What participants receive

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

  • Oxygen TherapyProcedure or surgery

    Patients who have SpO2 < 92% on room air will undergo oxygen therapy (nasal cannula or Venturi-mask).

  • Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)Procedure or surgery

    Patients with P/F < 250 or Ph < 7,35 with PCO2 > 50 mmHg will undergo Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) (high flow nasal cannula or CPAP).

  • Invasive VentilationProcedure or surgery

    Patients with P/F < 150 associated to dyspnea at rest (moderate to severe, shortness of breath and/ or tachypnea (>24 breaths/min) despite NIV for at least 2 hours or patients with Ph < 7,2 with PCO2 > 60 mmHg despite NIV for at least 2 hours will undergo invasive ventilation (intubation).

What is being measured

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

  1. Single Breath Counting Test (SBCT)

    Determine if SBCT is a useful, fast and reproducible tool for assessing respiratory failure and its severity in the Emergency Department.

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. SBCT as predictor NIRS

    Define if Single Breath Counting Test (SBCT) could be a predictor of Non-Invasive Respiratory Strategies (NIRS)

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

  2. Correlation with the main critical illness scores

    Define the correlation of SBCT with the main critical illness scores

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

  3. Correlation with the main serum markers

    Define the correlation of SBCT with the main serum markers corresponding to the underlying respiratory failure disorder

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

  4. Correlation with imaging

    Define the correlation of SBCT with radiographic (infiltrated) and ultrasound imaging

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

  5. Cut-off limit of SBCT

    Define the cut-off limit, the sensitivity and the specificity of SBCT associated with respiratory failure

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

  6. Cut-off limit to initiate appropriate respiratory support

    Define the cut-off limit to initiate appropriate respiratory support

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

  7. Correlation with Emergency Room Mortality

    Define the correlation of SBCT with Emergency Room Mortality

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

  8. Correlation between pulmonary and extrapulmonary causes

    Correlation between pulmonary and extrapulmonary causes

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Azienda Ospedaliera SS. Antonio e Biagio e Cesare Arrigo di Alessandria at 1 site in Italy.

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 11 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 14 Feb 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 Italy. 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 Clinical Trial Center (0131206893 ext. +39, clinicaltrialcenter@ospedale.al.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Single Breath Counting Test (SBCT) (time frame: Change from Baseline at 3 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 14 Feb 2024.
