About this study
Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Opioid Analgesics as a Preventive Treatment of Procedural Pain Associated With Turning Among Critically Ill Patients Under Mechanical Ventilation. A Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Placebo and Fentanyl
Background: Few studies have addressed the situation of procedural pain and the use of preemptive analgesia for turning in patients under mechanical ventilation.
Aim: Evaluation effect of preemptive fentanyl on the incidence of pain during turning maneuvers in critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation.
Read more
Design: Single-center clinical trial, national, randomized, double-blind, with a parallel group, and two arms of treatment: saline placebo and fentanyl.
Primary Endpoint: Incidence of pain during the turning procedures that are carried out by nurses measured by means of the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS).
Study Population: Critically ill patients, age > 18 years, admitted to ICU and expected to require mechanical ventilation for at least 24 h.
Sample Size: 80 patients divided into the two groups (40 patients each). Statistical Analysis: A preliminary descriptive analysis will be carried. Later, results of primary end point will be comparing after the eventual corrections of corresponding variables using a multivariable approach. The AUC variable will be analyzed by a t-test for unpaired data. A second analysis using a multivariate approach will be carried out for those factors considered as clinically relevant in relation to pain and therefore a logistic regression will be used.
Ethical Considerations: The study will be strictly conducted following the Declaration of Helsinki and the protocol and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure compliance with the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards. It is the responsibility of the researcher to obtain the valid informed consent from the guardian / legal representative, as the patient's condition will not allow to consent. Before obtaining the consent the investigator will explain to each guardian / legal representative the nature of the study, its purpose, the procedures, the estimated duration, the potential risks and benefits associated with the participation, as well as any inconvenience that this may involve.
Duration of Treatment: The treatment has a maximum duration of 60 min for each patient. The follow-up includes visits and has duration of 6 consecutive days.
Safety Assessment: Potential side effects of treatments will be recorded. Frequent adverse effects of fentanyl administration include respiratory depression, apnea, muscle rigidity, bradycardia and transient hypotension.

What participants receive

FentanylDrug
PlaceboOther
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Placebo Treatment: A sterile sodium chloride injection 0.9% 10 ml Receives: Other: Placebo |
| Fentanest | Experimental | For this study Fentanest doses were adjusted based on published guidelines from the values recommended media to a whole number and differentiating two groups of patients (multiple trauma / surgical or medical) The maximum dose is 100 mcg Fentanest. The multiple trauma patients / surgical 1.5 mcg / kg and in medical patients 1.0 mcg / kg were given a single bolus Fentanest / Placebo by type of patient (surgical / multiple trauma or physician) 5 'before turning mobilization with personal hygiene.
The bolus is given slowly (30'') intravenously, to be preferred by a peripheral without vasoactive drugs (only with fluid therapy).
Pharmaceutical form:
Sterile solution for injection. Each mL of injectable solution contains the equivalent of 0.05 mg of Fentanest; Excipients: sodium chloride and water for injection. Receives: Drug: Fentanyl |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in the incidence of pain at the beginning and end of rotation
Participants will be evaluated at the beginning and the end of rotation, an expected average of 5 minutes. The evaluation of the change in the incidence of pain will be done calculating the mean between the beginning and the end of rotation.
Measured: Expected average of 5 minutes
Secondary outcomes (1)
Area under the curve (AUC) of incidence of pain (BPS) during mobilizations with spin
Measured: Since the end of the turn until 30 minutes after

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Fentanyl in people with Critical Illness and Pain, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.
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 6 inclusion and 10 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 30 Sep 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 Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Change in the incidence of pain at the beginning and end of rotation (time frame: Expected average of 5 minutes). 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 NCT01950000, which also lists 2 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 30 Sep 2013.
