Trial summary

In this study gas-exchange and respiratory mechanics variations to PEEP change will be correlated to CT lung morphological modifications assessed at different airway pressures (5, 15, 30 and 45 cmH2O). Read more about this study

What is being measured

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

  1. Computer Tomography (CT) scan lung recruitment and CT lung weight

    Aim of the study is to determine the relationship between the opening pressures (recruitment) and closing pressures (PEEP) in order to prevent the opening and closing of the lung parenchyma

    Measured: Study day (day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ARDS: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by Policlinico Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 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 19 Mar 2015. 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 Italy. 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?

Computer Tomography (CT) scan lung recruitment and CT lung weight (time frame: Study day (day 1)). 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 NCT01670747, which also lists 3 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 19 Mar 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
