About this study

Official title: Effects of PEEP and FiO2 in the Evaluation of Severity of ALI and ARDS

Current American-European Consensus Conference (AECC) definitions for ALI and ARDS are inadequate for inclusion into clinical trials due to the lack of standardization for measuring the oxygenation defect. We questioned whether an early assessment of oxygenation on specific ventilator settings would identify patients with established ARDS (persisting over 24h).

Read the detailed description

We designed this study to determine whether standard ventilator settings applied on the day ARDS is identified (Day 0) or 24 hours (Day 1) later: (1) would have an impact on the reclassification of patients into ALI or ARDS, and (2) would identify groups with different clinical outcomes. Our hypothesis was that the assessment of PaO2/FiO2 on standard ventilator settings 24 hours after patients originally met the AECC definition of ARDS would identify patients with established ARDS (persisting over 24 h) from others with different degrees of lung injury. If this hypothesis is supported, it would suggest that patients with a better outcome could have been preferentially entered into one group of previously conducted clinical trials, resulting in a viable therapy being proved useless or useless therapy proven viable.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Lung Injury, run by Instituto Canario de Investigacion Biomedica at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 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 11 Oct 2018. 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 Spain. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00435110, which also lists 4 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 11 Oct 2018.
