Trial summary

Difficult weaning from ventilation and extubation failure are major issues in intensive care, concerning 30% and 12% of patients respectively. These can be partly explained by the lack of accuracy of spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) failure criteria to predict extubation failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Is Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide Pressure (tcPCO2) Monitoring During Spontaneous Breathing Trials Useful to Predict Extubation Failure in Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the ICU?

Difficult weaning from ventilation and extubation failure are major issues in intensive care, concerning 30% and 12% of patients respectively. These can be partly explained by the lack of accuracy of spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) failure criteria to predict extubation failure. The investigators performed a pilot study to evaluate transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (tcPCO2) monitoring during SBTs. The results showed that the difference between maximum and initial tcPCO2 (or ΔtcPCO2) was significantly higher in the group of patients who failed SBTs according to the usual criteria. Moreover, the results suggested that ΔtcPCO2 could be an accurate and early criterion for SBT failure. The size of the study could not examine ΔtcPCO2 regarding extubation failure. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to determine if Δ tcPCO2 during SBTs is associated with extubation failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference between maximum and initial tcPCO2 (ΔtcPCO2) during SBTs in patients who fail extubation compared to patients who have been successfully extubated.

    Extubation failure: need for reintubation, rescue non invasive ventilation or death within 7 days following extubation

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Association between ΔtcPCO2 and extubation failure after adjustment on post extubation ventilation protocols (preventive non invasive ventilation or preventive Optiflow)

    Different post-extubation ventilation protocols may include preventive non invasive ventilation or Optiflow.

    Measured: 7 days

  2. Association between extubation decisions and ΔtcPCO2.

    Measured: 1 week

  3. Adverse Events associated with tcPCO2 monitoring.

    Measured: 1 week

  4. Optimal ΔtcPCO2 threshold to predict extubation failure by a ROC curve.

    Measured: 7 days

  5. Compare ROC curves obtained by different extubation failure predictors

    ROC curves obtained with:

    • usual SBT failure criteria
    • deltatcPCO2 alone
    • usual criteria and ΔtcPCO2 combined
    • shallow breathing index
    • shallow breathing index and ΔtcPCO2 combined
    • ΔtcPCO2, shallow breathing index and usual SBT failure criteria combined

    Measured: 7 days

  6. Determine if ΔtcPCO2 is an early predictor of extubation failure (happening before other criteria of failed SBT)

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing tcPCO2 measurement in people with Ventilator Weaning, run by Versailles Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 17 Oct 2023. 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?

Difference between maximum and initial tcPCO2 (ΔtcPCO2) during SBTs in patients who fail extubation compared to patients who have been successfully extubated. (time frame: 7 days). 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 17 Oct 2023.
