Trial summary

Altitude tolerance correlates with the level of oxygenation achieved. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether increased expiratory pressure within the thorax is able to improve oxygenation during hypoxic hypoxia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Arterial Oxygenation During Hypoxia : Effects of an Added Expiratory Resistance

Altitude tolerance correlates with the level of oxygenation achieved. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether increased expiratory pressure within the thorax is able to improve oxygenation during hypoxic hypoxia.

Read the detailed description

Two types of procedures will be tested in a random order, interspaced by resting periods : threshold PEEP set at 5,10 and 15 cm of water and pursed leap breathing.

Subjects will be tested at rest, and during light exercise (30% of sea level predicted VO2max).

FiO2 will be set at 12.5% (4000 m). fc, VE, PETCO2, TA, ECG, cardiac output, and tissular oxygenation will be monitored.

What is being measured

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

  1. SpO2

    after three minutes of PEEP vs spontaneous breathing

    Measured: mean over 1 minute

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. peripheral HbO2/DeoxyHb

    after three minutes of PEEP / PLB vs. spontaneous breathing

    Measured: 1 min

  2. cardiac output

    after three min of PEEP vs. spontaneous breathing

    Measured: mean over 1 min

  3. pattern of breathing (fR, VT, PETCO2)

    after three min of PEEP vs. spontaneous breathing

    Measured: 1 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoxia, run by AGIR à Dom at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2012. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Bernard Wuyam, MD, PhD (33 (0)4 76 76 93 03, BWuyam@chu-grenoble.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

SpO2 (time frame: mean over 1 minute). 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 28 Feb 2012.
