Trial summary

Lung recruitability is essential for optimal Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection in ARDS patients. It is defined as the potential for the non aerated or poorly aerated lung mass to become aerated due to the increase in airway pressure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Bedside Assessment of PEEP-induced Lung Recruitment by Using Digital Chest-X-ray in ARDS Patients. A Multicenter Prospective Study.

Lung recruitability is essential for optimal Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection in ARDS patients. It is defined as the potential for the non aerated or poorly aerated lung mass to become aerated due to the increase in airway pressure. PEEP contributes to lung recruitment mostly by maintaining some amount of the end-inspiratory recruitment at the end of expiration. PEEP also stabilizes patency of the small airways and minimizes the repeated opening and closing of them during the breathing cycle, which is implicated in a further lung inflammation. The gold-standard method for assessing lung recruitability is lung CT scan. For economic and feasibility this technique cannot be used in routine. Therefore, techniques that can be used at the bedside to measure lung recruitability are very well known. The measurement of recruited lung volume (Vrec) by using pressure-volume curve generated by the ventilator is another reference method to approach lung recruitment. It can be done at the bedside. Chest-X-Ray (CXR) is an interesting option as done in routine in this setting. Furthermore, it allows quantifying aeration thanks numerical image processing and a regional approach. In a preliminary one-center study we found a significant negative correlation between the amount of Vrec and the reduction in lung density measured by digital CXR between 5 and 15 cm H2O PEEP. In present study we would like to extend this previous result on a larger number of patients in a multicenter investigation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PEEP of 5 or 15 cm H2OOther

    PEEP of 5 or 15 cm H2O set at the respirator and applied to the patient for 10 minutes. Then, measurements are made at each PEEP in the following order: arterial blood gas, CXR, pressure-volume curve.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic performance of CXR to detect lung recruitability

    1 CXR and 1 pressure-volume curve wil be performed at each PEEP for a given patient Determination of regions of interest in the posterior intercostal spaces of each lung in which density is measured to assess the total lung density at each PEEP. Measurement of Vrec between each PEEP level. One point per patient. Correlation of Vrec to change in density over all the patients and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve of change in density to detect Vrec greater than 150 ml.

    Measured: At day 1

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. static compliance

    Static compliance will be analysed at each PEEP. End-expiratory and end-inspiratory occlusion during the tidal breath to measure the effective static compliance at each PEEP. Change in static compliance between PEEP levels.

    Measured: At day 1

  2. oxygenation

    Oxygenation will be evaluated at each PEEP. Arterial blood gas measured at the end of each PEEP application for Oxygen Pressure in arterial blood (PaO2) and PaO2/ Inhaled Oxygen Fraction (FIO2) ratio.

    Measured: At day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PEEP of 5 or 15 cm H2O in people with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 9 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2022. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The study stopped because it was difficult to recruit the 130 expected patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Diagnostic performance of CXR to detect lung recruitability (time frame: At day 1). 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 11 Jan 2022.
