About this study

This study evaluates the comparison of two of re-expansion pulmonary physiotherapy in patients with chest tube. The study group received intermittent positive pressure intervention and the control group received incentive spirometry intervention associated with manual operation.

Read the detailed description

All the re-expansion methods increase lung volume increasing gradient of transpulmonary pressure (PL) representing the difference alveolar pressure and pleural pressure. Spontaneous deep breath increases the PL by reducing pleural pressure (active breathing exercises, breathing supporters and manual operation).

Muller resuscitator consists of a pneumatic valve feature designed to operate with medical oxygen. It is used intermittently or continuously for pulmonary re-expansion, with lower load imposed work, and increase the efficiency of gas exchange by improving volumes, lung capacity and breathing pattern, and reverse atelectasis.

However, studies show the paucity of data in the literature regarding the Muller Resuscitator in different forms and respiratory rehabilitation protocols. In addition, studies show lack of standardization of methods and resources used in respiratory therapy in patients with chest tube.

What participants receive

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

  • Reanimator groupDevice

    Resuscitator of Muller Group (intermittent positive pressure): Patients allocated to this group received intermittent positive pressure breathing (resuscitator Muller, Engemed, Brazil), adjusting the positive pressure around 1.5 kgf / cm2, which corresponds to 15 20 cm / H2O, positive pressure was applied through a face mask (Respironics®).

  • ControlDevice

    Control Group: In position Fowler 45, patients assigned to this group was administered as treatment lung expansion exercises using the incentive inspiratory flow (Respiron, NCS, Mexico) and concomitantly blocking contralateral to the drain maneuvers were performed, compression / decompression associated with the incentive spirometry (Respiron) consisting of 4 sets of 10 active patient breaths with an interval of two minutes between sets. Since the load of the respiratory stimulator will be zero throughout treatment. Guidelines to the active, progressive and early mobilization.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change Respiratory function

    Ventilometry was evaluated in two stages: 1) before the intervention, 2) on the day of drain removal or discharge. The spirometer application is according to implement stable and acceptable criteria. TOBIN The measures of lung volumes forão performed with the spirometer (FERRARIS MK8 Wright ®) coupled to a nozzle. The patient was instructed to breathe quietly in the apparatus for a minute to read the minute volume (VM). During this period, it is checked the number of breaths, i.e., respiratory rate (RR) for calculating the tidal volume (VT) given by VC = VM / FR (ml).

    Measured: before the intervention (pre) and after drain removal the tube (pos) for 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Saturation Oxygen

    Oxygen saturation was assessed in two stages: 1) before the first intervention of the day 2) after daily intervention protocol until hospital discharge or removal of the chest tube. Patients were evaluated with breathing in ambient air (without supplemental oxygen) after 10 minutes of the procedure. The researcher used a pulse oximeter portable.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Reanimator group in people with Mechanical Ventilation Complication, run by University of Campinas, Brazil at 2 sites in Brazil.

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 3 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Brazil. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ana Paula R Dos Anjos, mestranda (35 92015986, pauladosanjos@yahoo.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change Respiratory function (time frame: before the intervention (pre) and after drain removal the tube (pos) for 30 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 NCT02472041, which also lists 12 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 15 Jun 2015.
