Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 month to 16 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: all pediatric patients aged 29 days to 16 years who were admitted to the PICU and underwent IMV for at least 24 hours between January 2021 and December 2023. Our analysis included data gathered from the follow-up medical records maintained by the PICU team and other healthcare providers.

Who may be able to join

  • all pediatric patients aged 29 days to 16 years who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit and underwent invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours between January 2021 and December 2023.

Who cannot join

  • newborns (<29 days old),
  • pediatric patients received invasive mechanical ventilation less than 24 hours
  • children with chronic respiratory failure or unable to be discharged due to socioeconomic constraints and requiring long-term mechanical ventilation therapy and pediatric patients with incomplete data or transferred to another hospital.

About this study

Official title: Mechanical Ventilation-Associated Complications and Co-Morbidities in Children Admitted in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Study

The goal of this study was to identify the prevalence of mechanical ventilation-associated complications and co-morbidities in pediatric patients admitted to the PICU of Benha University Hospital, uncover how often these problems occur, their types, factors linked to them and to compare the epidemiology of MV-associated complications.

Read the detailed description

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is used frequently for critically ill children in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). While respiratory disease is a major indication for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), there are also numerous non-respiratory indications for mechanical ventilation, including neurological and neuromuscular pathology, congenital heart disease, hemodynamic shock, and postoperative care and pain management and septic shock.

Although lung-protective ventilation strategies are extensively implemented in the pediatric population, frequent adverse events (AEs) of mechanical ventilation are detected, such as accidental extubation, atelectasis, trauma by aspiration, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), perioral tissue damage, secretion-mediated obstruction of the endotracheal tube (ETT), mucus plugging, air leak syndromes, neuromyopathy, post-extubation stridor, and PICU delirium. Some of these events require the direct intervention of the physician, nurse, or physiotherapist in order to be identified; thus, they are associated with the quality of care.The incidence of these complications among pediatric patients in the PICU is noteworthy, with rates ranging from 27 to 97 adverse events per thousand patients per day. This is mainly associated with hazardous invasive procedures that can lead to unfortunate poor outcome.Few studies focus on the complications of using ventilators in infants and adolescents, especially regarding VAP cases.

The goal of this study was to identify the prevalence of mechanical ventilation-associated complications and co-morbidities in pediatric patients admitted to the PICU of Benha University Hospital, uncover how often these problems occur, their types, factors linked to them and to compare the epidemiology of MV-associated complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by Benha 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 1 inclusion and 3 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 16 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 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?

Adverse events associated with mechanical ventilation (time frame: 4 weeks after following usage of invasive mechanical ventilation). 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 16 Apr 2024.
