About this study

Official title: Comparing Mechanical Power Values Using Geometric Methods at Different Inspiratory Rise and Pause Times: A Validation Study

We aimed to compare mechanical power and energy values using geometric methods at varying inspiratory rise times.

Read the detailed description

In this study, the researchers aim to compare the mechanical power and energy values calculated using the geometric method in Volume-Controlled Ventilation (VCV) and Pressure-Controlled Ventilation (PCV) modes at different inspiratory rise times.

Being tested
Mechanical ventilator adjustment for PCV, Mechanical ventilator adjustment for VCV
Medical subject headings
Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury, Respiratory Distress Syndrome

What participants receive

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

  • Mechanical ventilator adjustment for PCVProcedure or surgery

    In pressure control ventilation (PCV) mode, patients will be ventilated for 5 minutes at a Tslope of 5% and another 5 minutes at 15% for both 1:1 and 1:2 I:E ratios. After each adjustment, screenshots of the mechanical ventilator (P-V loop screenshots) will be obtained . A total of 20 P-V loop screenshots will be captured over a 20-minute period (10 for the 1:2 ratio and 10 for the 1:1 ratio), which will be stored in the ventilators memory. The stored data will then be transferred from the ventilators memory to a computer via a flash drive.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Başakşehir Çam & Sakura City Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 inclusion and 7 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 28 Jul 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

MPgeo (time frame: 40 minute). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06413472, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 28 Jul 2025.
