Trial summary

There is no recommendation for the management of the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during setting of a central venous catheter (CVC) in a ventilated patient. Several non-randomized studies have investigated the cross-sectional area (AST) ultrasound minor axis for different pressure levels by evaluating a… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of PEEP and Trendelenburg on Ultrasound Size of Internal Jugular and Subclavian Veins: A Cross-over Randomized Controlled Study

There is no recommendation for the management of the positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) during setting of a central venous catheter (CVC) in a ventilated patient. Several non-randomized studies have investigated the cross-sectional area (AST) ultrasound minor axis for different pressure levels by evaluating a single vessel every time or by not displaying the right or left side in the evaluation. Another study showed that there could be unpredictable size differences between the 2 subclavian veins.

In ventilated patient, the PEEP, which is intrathoracic, will result in a decrease of venous return and thus possibly a superior vena cava dilation, located outside the pleura, depending on their capacitance. Different pressure levels showed an increase of AST with the increase of intra-thoracic pressure on certain veins, in a heterogeneous and not randomized manner.

The primary purpose of the study is to measure the effect of PEEP (0, 5, 10 or 15 cm H2O) and the patient's position (supine or Trendelenburg strict -15-20 °) on the cross-sectional area of the jugular and subclavian veins.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Patient's position in people with Ventilated Patient in Intensive Care and Management of the Expiratory End-expiratory Pressure (PEEP) and Body Position, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 4 inclusion and 9 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 5 Dec 2016. 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 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?

The cross-sectional area of the jugular veins ( in cm2) (time frame: at baseline). 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 5 Dec 2016.
