About this study

Official title: Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and Oxygen Concentration on Measurement of Rapid Shallow Breathing Index

To compare the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) values, the incidence of adverse reactions, and the predictive accuracy measured under 5 different ventilator strategies in the same patient group.

Read the detailed description

98 ready for weaning patients were included and divided into success (n=71) and failure (n=27) groups based upon their weaning outcome. Before weaning, the RSBI values were determined under the patients disconnecting from the ventilator (RA-no ventilator) and still connecting to the ventilator with 4 different settings (fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) 21 or 40% combined with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) 0 or 5 cm H2O). The patients were extubated after completing the weaning trials. Successful weaning was defined as patients free from the ventilator for over 48 hours.

What is being measured

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

  1. The patients connecting or disconnecting to the ventilators affected the RSBI values but not their predictive accuracies.

    Measured: Before the patient processing weaning trials

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in FiO2 and CPAP settings have no effect on RSBI values but ventilator methods with FiO2 21% have higher incidence of adverse reactions.

    Measured: Before the patient processing weaning trials

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Failure, run by Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 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 10 Mar 2008. 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 Taiwan. 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 patients connecting or disconnecting to the ventilators affected the RSBI values but not their predictive accuracies. (time frame: Before the patient processing weaning trials). 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 10 Mar 2008.
