About this study

The decision to extubate a patient after acute respiratory failure is based on clinical observation and measurement of pulmonary mechanics. Current extubation criteria(tidal volume, respiratory frequency...) lack of specificity. The best way to evaluate and predict patients breathing abilities after extubation is to challenge him to a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) with endotracheal tube in place immediately before extubation to predict the patient's ability to breathe spontaneously after extubation. The intention is to approximate, while the patient is still intubated, the work of breathing that will be required of the patient after extubation. Different approaches of ventilatory settings are currently used for the preextubation SBT, whether pressure support ventilation (PSV), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or spontaneous ventilation through an endotracheal tube (T piece), all supported by literature with different benefits. To the investigators knowledge, few studies define which mode of ventilation most closely approximates the work of breathing during spontaneous respiration after extubation, and none have studied a specific population of obese patient in respiratory weaning. The main objective of the investigators study is to determine, between five different SBT, which one is the best to approximate the work of breathing of obese patient after extubation.

Read the detailed description

Patients : 20 obese patients (defined by BMI over 30 kg/m2) ongoing for spontaneous breathing trial and clinically ready for immediate extubation will be enrolled after obtaining their consents. Material : An oeso-gastric double balloon catheter will be inserted in order to record oesophageal and gastric pressure and to calculate Work of Breathing and Pressure Time Product. Pulmonary Volumes will be recorded by a pneumotachograph. Functional Residual Capacity will be recorded thanks to the azote double dilution technique used by the Engström respiratory care station.Study Protocol : When physicians in charge of the patient decided that the patient is ready to be weaned and to have a SBT before extubation, the patient will be included in the study. Before extubation, patients will be placed under 5 different spontaneous breathing trials conditions in the same order : 7 cm H2O continuous positive airway pressure, T piece,7 cmH2O of pressure support, 0 cmH20 of pressure support and 7 cm H2O pressure support ventilation with 7 cmH20 of end expiratory pressure. Each trial will be performed fo 20 min. Between 2 spontaneous breathing trials, and before extubation, patient will receive a 10 minutes period of recovery to their respiratory baseline, defined by the respiratory settings before the spontaneous breathing trials.The last step, after extubation, will consist in recording the data after 15 minutes, when patient's breathing pattern appears calm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Work of breathing

    Based upon the Campbell diagram, WOB will be calculated by integrating oesophageal pressure to tidal volume in time.

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Functional Residual Capacity

    Lung recruitement will be evaluated by a bed side technique of FRC mesurement.

    Measured: Duration of hospital stay: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spontaneous breathing trial in people with Obesity and Respiratory Failure, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 2 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 31 May 2013. 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?

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?

Work of breathing (time frame: Duration of hospital stay: one day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01616901, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 May 2013.
