About this study

Randomized clinical trial, conducted in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre from october 2011 until november 2015 .

Read the detailed description

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of techniques: vibrocompression (G1), hyperinflation with mechanical ventilation (G2) vibrocompression + hyperinflation with mechanical ventilation (G3) in the amount of aspirated secretions, mechanical ventilator time, incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia , reintubation tracheal and mortality in mechanical ventilator. Primary outcome: weight in grams of the aspirated secretions. Secondary outcome: hemodynamic and pulmonary parameters: heart rate, respiratory rate, mean arterial pressure, peripheral arterial oxygen saturation; peak inspiratory pressure, tidal volume; dynamic compliance ; mechanical ventilator time; reintubation tracheal; Incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia and mortality in mechanical ventilator.

Being tested
Vibrocompression (VB), Hyperinflation (HMV), HMV+VB

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vibrocompression (VB), Hyperinflation (HMV) and HMV+VB in people with Mucociliary Clearance Defect and Physical Disability, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre.

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 7 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 13 Nov 2015. 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?

Weight in grams of the pulmonary secretions (time frame: up to 24 weeks.). 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 NCT02604082, 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 13 Nov 2015.
