About this study

This study aims to Analyze and compere the hemodynamic and respiratory variables before, during and after the applying of technic as well as evaluate respiratory pressures generated during applying of this same technic and correlate them with the effort noticed by device user.

Read the detailed description

The breath stacking technic (BS) is an inspiratory maneuver used for recruitment of collapsed alveoli and, consequently, improves oxygenation and, therefore, used by respiratory physiotherapy aiming promoting lung re-expansion being. The BS was described by Marini as an attempt of optimizing vital capacity in little co-operative individuals and hemodynamics has been considered a way of incentive spirometry that provides high lung volume, in situations, in which, inspiratory maneuver duration can be as important as the volume reached, composing an alternative incentive of inspiration technic4. The system used is composed by an interface (facial mask) connected to the patient, an inspiratory unidirectional valve and the respiratory branch which is kept occluded during the carrying out of maneuvers.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Breath stackingOther

    During initial rest period, the volunteer remained seated for 10' in spontaneous breathing. Right after, the measurement of arterial pressure, of SpO2 (%), of heart rate, of respiratory frequency and applied to a modified effort perception Borg. During carrying out of the breath stacking technic, the volunteer remained seated, being requested to hold the mask on his/her face not allowing air scape, The volunteer was oriented to inhale normally and exhale all the air during expiration for 20 seconds, and the variables were assessement again the same variables of control. In the final rest period, right after technic end, the volunteers remained seated for 10 minutes in spontaneous breathing and again the same variables of control at the 10th minute were assessed.

Breath stackingDuring initial rest period, the volunteer remained seated for 10' in spontaneous breathing. During carrying out of the breath stacking technic, the volunteer remained seated, being requested to hold the mask on his/her face not allowing air scape, The volunteer was oriented to inhale normally and exhale all the air during expiration for 20 seconds. During the 20 seconds of applying of technic, in the three series the maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures reached during the carrying out of technic. In the final rest period, right after technic end, the volunteers remained seated for 10 minutes in spontaneous breathing and again the same variables of control at the 10th minute were assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures

    connected to a manometer from brand Commercial Medica (Brazil) used to measure maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures generated during carrying out of technic. The volunteer was oriented to inhale normally and exhale all the air during expiration for 20 seconds.

    Measured: During the intervention. They will be used to verify the average pressures generated during the execution of the technique. Time of the technique equal to 20 seconds.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. modified effort perception Borg scale

    applied to a modified effort perception Borg scale with a score from 0 to 10, considering 0 the smallest effort noticed and 10 the biggest effort reported

    Measured: Before, during and after the intervention. They will be used to compare the variation before, during and after the technique. Valuation time was 1 minute.

  2. heart rate

    by palpation method of radial artery, of respiratory frequency by direct counting of thoracic movement

    Measured: Before, during and after the intervention. They will be used to compare the variation before, during and after the technique. Valuation time was 1 minute.

  3. peripheral oxygen saturation

    through a pulse oximeter

    Measured: Before, during and after the intervention. They will be used to compare the variation before, during and after the technique. Valuation time was 1 minute.

  4. systolic arterial pressure

    the measurement of systolic arterial pressure were assessed using an aneroid-type sphygmomanometer

    Measured: Before, during and after the intervention. They will be used to compare the variation before, during and after the technique. Valuation time was 1 minute.

  5. diastolic arterial pressure

    the measurement of systolic arterial pressure were assessed using an aneroid-type sphygmomanometer from the brand Lamedial Commercial

    Measured: Before, during and after the intervention. They will be used to compare the variation before, during and after the technique. Valuation time was 1 minute.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hemodynamic Instability, run by Federal University of Uberlandia.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 3 Feb 2017. 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?

maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures (time frame: During the intervention. They will be used to verify the average pressures generated during the execution of the technique. Time of the technique equal to 20 seconds.). 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 3 Feb 2017.
