About this study

Official title: Comparison of Pressure-, Flow- and NAVA-triggering in Pediatric and Neonatal Ventilatory Care

The purpose of this study is to study whether neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) provides advantages over current methods in detecting patients own breathing efforts in pediatric and neonatal ventilatory care.

Our study hypothesis is that NAVA-technology is more accurate than currently used methods in detecting and assisting spontaneous breathing in children, and thus the patient-ventilator synchrony will improve.

Read the detailed description

Asynchrony means that the timing of support given by the ventilator is different from patients own breathing pattern. Asynchrony during ventilatory care may increase the risk for complications, make the weaning more difficult and may affect the survival rates.

In this study we will compare two currently used methods pressure- and flow-triggering with a neurally adjusted ventilatory assist in synchronization of the ventilator support with patients own efforts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Triggering mode of the ventilator and Triggering method of the ventilator in people with Respiration, run by University of Oulu at 1 site in Finland.

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 20 Jan 2010. 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 Finland. 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 time in ventilator-patient synchrony in each of the assist modes. (time frame: 30 min). 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 20 Jan 2010.
