Trial summary

The great majority of cardiac surgery patients develop a degree of post-operatory respiratory failure. This is due to several factors. The predominant element in the onset of this respiratory impairment is the constitution of foci of pulmonary atelectasis, caused by peroperative hypoventilation (in the presence or… Read more about this study

About this study

The great majority of cardiac surgery patients develop a degree of post-operatory respiratory failure. This is due to several factors. The predominant element in the onset of this respiratory impairment is the constitution of foci of pulmonary atelectasis, caused by peroperative hypoventilation (in the presence or absence of ECC). The incidence has been evaluated at between 54% and 92%, depending on the study. The use of NIV (non-invasive ventilation) might (through the application of continuous positive expiratory pressure) help to counter the development of these atelectasic foci.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Surgery, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens 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 6 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2018. 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 was stopped early (reason given: internal recruitment difficulties and reorganization of the Intensive Care Units). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Quantitative evaluation by thoracic CT scan (time frame: 3 hours). 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 1 Oct 2018.
