About this study

Official title: Use of a New Isokinetic Device Oriented by Software for Inspiratory Muscle Training in Prolonged Weaning

Introduction:

It is well established that physical fitness improves muscle performance either in sedentary people or in athletes. In this regard, specific exercises for respiratory muscles can result in better functional performance in hospitalized individuals, especially in critically ill patients in prolonged weaning.

Objectives:

To compare the following variables between intervention and control patients: success in weaning, free time off ventilator on ICU after weaning, and gain of muscle strength with the use of the inspiratory muscle training (IMT).

Patients and methods:

Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. Only individuals on prolonged weaning will be enrolled. They will undergo IMT or will be managed in a conventional manner. The primary endpoint will be successful weaning. In addition, other variables such as free time off ventilator on ICU after weaning and muscle strength will be measured. In addition, mortality in the ICU, inside the hospital and after discharge will be followed for one year after study entrance.

Expected results:

According to the working hypothesis, it is expected that the performance of patients undergoing IMT will be superior to the conventional treatment. Also, their time to mortality is expected to be longer.

Read the detailed description

The control group only performed inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with the use of the T-piece. From the first day of prolonged weaning, patients would remain in spontaneous breathing progressing their stay time each day, respecting the criteria already mentioned for interruption and return to mechanical ventilation in support pressure mode.

The intervention group, in addition to the protocol described above, would undergo inspiratory muscle training with the POWER breathe K-5 (UK) device. POWER breathe K-5 will be employed once a day, with an initial loading of 40% of maximal inspiratory strength in a schedule of 30 repetitions. This number of repetitions could be reached in one to 6 sessions depending on the respiratory muscle force of the patient. Most of the times more than one session were required. Typically, subjects performed two to six sessions of 5 to 15 breaths per day, with two minutes rest in ventilation pressure support mode. When the patient was unable to comply with the schedule, the training session was interrupted at a total of 3 minutes. The load was planned to be adjusted weekly with a 5 to 10% increase until 60% of the maximal inspiratory strength was reached with a total time of 10 minutes or 100 breaths. After training with POWER breathe K-5 (UK), the patient would return to mechanical ventilation in support pressure mode for 30-60 minutes, and then follow the conventional T-piece protocol. The IMT was conducted normally between 08h and 10h, Monday through Friday.

All study subjects would be under continuous surveillance through the multi-parameter DX 2010 monitor (Dixtal, São Paulo, SP, Brazil), which records the electrocardiogram, heart rate, peripheral oxygen saturation and systemic arterial pressure. At any sign of instability, the IMT was interrupted and the patient returned to the ventilatory support and/or supplemental oxygen therapy for recovery.

The trial was stopped if at least one of the following intolerance criteria was present: SaO2<90% or PaO2 <60 mm Hg with FIO2 >0.4; PaCO2 > 50 mm Hg or increased by > 8 mm Hg; arterial pH < 7.33 or decreased by 0.07 or more; breathing frequency > 35 breaths/min or increased by 50% for 5 min or longer; heart rate > 140 beats/min or a sustained increase or decrease of > 20%; mean blood pressure > 130 or < 70 mm Hg; or presence of agitation, diaphoresis, disorientation, or depressed mental status.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful weaning

    defined by 48 hours on spontaneous ventilation after ventilator withdrawal

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in maximal inspiratory strength in cm H2O as measured by the digital manovacuometer MVD300 for 60 seconds

    Assessment of inspiratory strength by the maximal inspiratory pressure and the timed inspiratory effort index

    Measured: one year

  2. Change in the timed inspiratory effort index in cm H2O/sec as calculated by the ratio of the maximal inspiratory pressure and time demanded to reach it as measured by the digital manovacuometer MVD300 for 60 seconds

    Assessment of inspiratory strength by the maximal inspiratory pressure and the timed inspiratory effort index

    Measured: one year

  3. Time off the ventilator in the ICU in days.

    Assessment of the time the patients are kept in the ICU after the successful weaning,

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Inspiratory muscle training in people with Respiration, Artificial, run by Universidade Federal Fluminense at 1 site 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2021. 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 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.

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?

Successful weaning (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02932189, 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 5 Aug 2021.
