About this study

Prospective analysis included patients, 18 years or older, scheduled for 60 daily HBOT sessions between 2016-2018. Each session was 90 min of 100% oxygen at 2 ATA with 5 minutes air breaks every 20 min, five days per week. Pulmonary functions,measured at baseline and after HBOT,included forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF).

Read the detailed description

After signing an informed consent form, the participants underwent a pulmonary function baseline evaluation. Participants were treated in a multiplace chamber (HAUX-Life-Support GmbH) for 60 daily sessions, 5 days a week. Each session consisted of 90 minutes of exposure to 100% oxygen at 2 ATA with 5 minute air breaks every 20 minutes. Participants repeated their pulmonary function evaluation after the last HBOT session.

Pulmonary function Measurements of pulmonary functions were performed using the MiniSpir testing apparatus (MIR- Medical International Research, USA). The equipment was calibrated using a 3-liter syringe before performing measurements according to the manufacturer's instructions. Measurements were performed by a trained technician. The forced expiratory maneuvers were performed as recommended by the guidelines[13].

The forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) were taken as the highest readings obtained from at least three satisfactory forced expiratory maneuvers. Mean forced mid-expiratory flow rate (FEF25-75%) and forced expiratory flow rates at 25, 50 and 75% of FVC expired (FEF25%, FEF50% and FEF75%) were taken as the best values from flow-volume loops not differing by >5% from the highest FVC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oxygen Toxicity and Hyperoxia, run by Assaf-Harofeh Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 10 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 27 Nov 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 Israel. 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?

forced vital capacity (FVC) (time frame: change within 3 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03754985, 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 27 Nov 2018.
