About this study

Official title: A New Method for Estimating Dynamic Positive End-expiratory Pressure. Description and Validation With PEEPi Dyn Measured With Transdiaphragmatic Pressure

Dinamic intrinsic PEEP is

Read the detailed description

Dynamic intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEPi dyn) play an important pathophysiology role in many acute respiratory pathologies.

The most accurate method to quantify PEEPi dyn is to measure the rise in transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) at end expiration at the point of the contraction of the inspiratory muscles until inspiratory flow starts.

Such method, however, is invasive, poor comfortable and require patient active collaboration.

The purpose of this study is describe a new non-invasive method for estimate PEEPi dyn and validate this method with gold-standard-one.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation and agreement between AutoPEEP recorded with the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) vs ecography measurements.

    Measured: 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation and agreement between neural inspiratory time and ecographic inspiratory time

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. Inter-rater agreement to assest method reliability

    Measured: 10 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PEEP, Intrinsic and PEEP, Occult, run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna 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 12 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 29 Dec 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?

Correlation and agreement between AutoPEEP recorded with the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) vs ecography measurements. (time frame: 20 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 NCT02388282, 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 29 Dec 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 27 Oct 2026.
