About this study

Official title: Distribution of Pulmonary Ventilation in Lateral Decubitus of Healthy Adults Under Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Supply

The aim was to investigate via impedance tomography apparatus the distribution of pulmonary ventilation at a lateral position at different Continuous Positive Airway Pressure levels (0, 5, 10 cm Η2Ο) in healthy subjects.

Read the detailed description

In lateral decubitus, the largest percentage of pulmonary ventilation of non-sedated subjects is distributed mainly in the dependent lung. The aim It was to investigate via impedance tomography apparatus the distribution of pulmonary ventilation at a lateral position at different Continuous Positive Airway Pressure levels (0, 5, 10 cm Η2Ο) in healthy subjects. The volunteers were noninvasively ventilated in both lateral positions and supine positions at the beginning and end of the process. It is concluded that implementing Non-Invasive Ventilation in the lateral body position resulted in increased ventilation of the dependent lung. In contrast, the respective ventilation of the non-dependent lung was further decreased.

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage change in pulmonary ventilation

    The percentage change in pulmonary ventilation was measured at each position, without applying external positive end-expiratory pressure and under positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 and 10 cmH2O

    Measured: Up to 3 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Positive End Expiratory Pressure 5 H2O and Positive End Expiratory Pressure 10 H2O in people with Noninvasive Ventilation and Patient Positioning, run by Attikon Hospital at 2 sites in Greece.

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 9 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Greece. 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?

The percentage change in pulmonary ventilation (time frame: Up to 3 minutes). 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 NCT06489509, which also lists 6 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 9 Jul 2024.
