Trial summary

Patients with de novo respiratory failure undergoing non invasive ventilation (NIV) present failure rates of mechanical ventilation ranging from 4 to 50%. Causes for NIV treatment failure are various but the onset of septic shock and subsequent multi-organ failure (MOF) seem play a critical role. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Doppler Ultrasound Renal Arterial Resistive Indices As Predictor Of Multiorgan Failure In Patients With Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure Admitted To Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (Cryptic Shock Index CSI- RICU)

Patients with de novo respiratory failure undergoing non invasive ventilation (NIV) present failure rates of mechanical ventilation ranging from 4 to 50%. Causes for NIV treatment failure are various but the onset of septic shock and subsequent multi-organ failure (MOF) seem play a critical role. Recent data show that the 37% of patients admitted to intensive care unit for de novo respiratory failure without any other organ failure experience multiple organ failure within the first days from admission. Early identification of hypoxic patients at major risk for MOF seems critical. Physiological studies have demonstrated that the underlying mechanisms for organ damage preceding MOF are those involved in the oxygen consumption (VO2)/oxygen delivery (DO2) mismatch. Doppler ultrasound indices of renal arteria resistance are directly correlated tot he VO2/DO2 mismatch. With this study we aim at investigating the correlation between Doppler ultrasound indices of renal arteria resistance in patients with de novo respiratory failure admitted to ICU and the onset of MOF within the first 7 days form admission.

What participants receive

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

  • Doppler ultrasound assessment of renal arteria resistive indexOther

    A high frequency probe will be used together with the use of color or power Doppler to help vessel localization. As resistance to blood flow progressively increases from the hilar arteries toward the more peripheral parenchymal vessels, renal arteria resistive index (RRI) will be done at the level of the arcuate or interlobar arteries, adjacent to medullary pyramids. Measurements will be repeated in different parts of both organs (superior, median, and lower) when at least three reproducible waveforms have been obtained. An RRI will be calculated with the following formula: (peak systolic velocity - end diastolic velocity)/peak systolic velocity, and the mean value of three measurements at each kidney is usually considered. An RRI value 0.60 ± 0.01 (mean ± SD) is usually taken as normal with a value of 0.70 being considered the upper normal threshold

What is being measured

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

  1. Onset of shock

    Shock will be clinically identified by a vasopressor requirement to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65 mm Hg or greater and serum lactate level greater than 2 mmol/L (>18 mg/dL) in the absence of hypovolemia

    Measured: 7 days from Respiratory Intensive Care Unit admission

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Failure and Multi Organ Failure, run by University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alessandro Marchioni, MD (00390594225859, marchioni.alessandro@unimore.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Onset of shock (time frame: 7 days from Respiratory Intensive Care Unit admission). 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 23 Mar 2022.
