About this study

Official title: To Analyze the Effectiveness of Respiratory Physiotherapy Techniques in the Post Operative Mitral Valve

This trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the chest physiotherapy techniques to prevent pulmonary collapse based in an score applied in the patients submitted of the mitral valve surgery, after their ICU discharge.

Patients were allocated in groups according their pulmonary function (FVC: forced vital capacity), the respiratory muscle performance (MIP: maximal inspiratory pressure; MEP: maximal expiratory pressure), the oxygenation level (SpO2), the pulmonary auscultation; respiratory frequency (f); the ability to expectorate and the functional independence.

The group I was allocated those patients which presented decrease of up to 50% of forced vital capacity (FVC) of preoperative period, SpO2>92%, minimal pulmonary auscultation alterations; frequency (f) between 15 and 25 ipm; able to expectorate without assistance; independence to sit; respiratory. In these patients were randomized for two interventions: a) Deep breathing exercises: diaphragmatic exercises; inspiratory sighs; maximal inspiration exercises. Each kind of exercises was repeated 10 times; b) volume-targeted incentive spirometer: used Coach® three sets of 10 repetitions.

Patients allocated in the group II presented FVC> 30% <49% of preoperative period, ≥ 88% SpO2 <92%, necessity of oxygen therapy, abnormal pulmonary auscultation, f> 25 <31ipm; dependence to expectorate and to sit.. They were assisted by: a) Intermittent Positive Pressure Breathing (IPPB) with PEEP - through ventilator (Bird Mark 7™) with exhalation valve spring load set at 10 cmH2O. b) CPAP - 10 cmH2O associated with oxygen support to obtain SpO2≥ 95% with electronic device (Sullivan®) Each session consisted of 20 minutes, twice daily, one in the morning and another in the afternoon.

All of the patients were conducted in effort to mobilize upper and lower limbs. On the first day, the patients walked at least 50 meters, by increasing the distance to at least 150 meters on the fourth day. Outcome measures were recorded at day 5 of the interventions.

Read the detailed description

The study were conducted with individuals of both gender, aged between 18 and 60 years, candidates for mitral valve surgery, up to a maximum 2nd valve replacement. Patients unable to perform the functional tests were excluded and patients with signs of neurological disorders; hemodynamic instability, respiratory disorders and mechanically ventilated for more than 48 hours .

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of atelectasis

    Measured: Patients were followed for five days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. pulmonary function

    Forced vital capacity in liters and percentual (FVC; %FVC )

    Measured: Patients were followed for five days

  2. pulmonary function

    Forced expiratory volume in first second in liters and percentual (FEV1; %FEV1)

    Measured: Patients were followed for five days

  3. pulmonary function

    Ratio of forced expiratory volume in first second and forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC)

    Measured: Patients were followed for five days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing breathing exercises, incentive spirometry and Intermittent positive pressure breathing in people with Mitral Valve Disease, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

incidence of atelectasis (time frame: Patients were followed for five days). 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 NCT02278835, 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 Oct 2014.
