Trial summary

ARDS is a frequent reason for hospitalization in intensive care. In order to improve its management, doctors seek to limit the mechanical ventilation-induced injuries (VILI) that can occur. PEEP is a parameter that plays a role in the appearance of VILI, and its adjustment can be optimized by EIT. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Belt Position on the Results of PEEP Titration by Electrical Impedance Tomography During Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

ARDS is a frequent reason for hospitalization in intensive care. In order to improve its management, doctors seek to limit the mechanical ventilation-induced injuries (VILI) that can occur. PEEP is a parameter that plays a role in the appearance of VILI, and its adjustment can be optimized by EIT. The EIT is a non-invasive, non-irradiating, real-time monitoring device, today widely used for the optimization of ventilation in patients intubated for ARDS. The positioning of the EIT belt at different chest heights could influence the result of the PEEP titration.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the position (2nd intercostal space or 5th intercostal space) of the EIT (Electrical Impedance Tomography) belt significantly influences the result of PEEP (Positive Expiratory Pressure) titration.

What participants receive

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

  • EITDevice

    Two PEEP titrations monitored by EIT will be performed, each with the electrode belt positioned at a different chest height (2nd intercostal space or 5th intercostal space). The order will be drawn at random.

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of the position of the electrode belt on the results of PEEP titration by EIT.

    Optimal PEEP determined by PEEP titration using the crossing point method.

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Impact of the existence of intra-tidal recruitment on the discordance between PEPEIT and PEPCRS

    Variability of the impedance variation during insufflation of the tidal volume ("tidal impedance variation) during titration measured by the relative interquartile coefficient (Q3-Q1)/median

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Factors associated with a discordance between PEPEIT and PEPCRS

    Variability of the impedance variation during insufflation of the tidal volume ("tidal impedance variation) during titration measured by the relative interquartile coefficient (Q3-Q1)/median

    Measured: Day 0

  3. Discrepancy between compliance measured according to impedance and compliance measured according to exhaled volume

    Regional ventilation delay (RVD)

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing EIT in people with ARDS, run by Centre Hospitalier Saint Joseph Saint Luc de Lyon.

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 4 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Samuel Tuffet, MD (+33(0)478618209, stuffet@saintjosephsaintluc.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Impact of the position of the electrode belt on the results of PEEP titration by EIT. (time frame: Day 0). 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 21 Nov 2024.
