Trial summary

The PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio is same for all the Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) ≥ to 5. This P/F ratio misleads the severity of disease without the knowledge of set PEEP. The Oxygenation status is actually worse when the patient is using high PEEP. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PaO2/FiO2*PEEP (P/FP) Ratio and Mortality in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

The PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio is same for all the Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) ≥ to 5. This P/F ratio misleads the severity of disease without the knowledge of set PEEP. The Oxygenation status is actually worse when the patient is using high PEEP.

P/F Ratio doesn't include PEEP in the calculation.The P/F ratio doesn't show the severity of the disease appropriate for the set PEEP.

PaO2/(FiO2 X PEEP) P/FP Ratio is a new Formula which addresses this gap to appropriately calculate the severity of the disease by including PEEP in the formula.

This formula is used to predict mortality for different severities of ARDS.

Read the detailed description

The Main aim of this study is to analyse whether this formula can early diagnose the severity of the disease appropriate for the set PEEP, so the Rescue measure can be started early which can eventually decreases the mortality.

Increasing the PEEP Value with the same Fio2 gives a different PaO2 and SpO2. The oxygenation improves substantially by increasing only the PEEP. So including the PEEP in calculating the severity of Oxygenation is better than the current practice.

The current Definition of ARDS for Oxygenation is P/F Ratio of 300 to 200 is Mild, 200 to 100 is Moderate and less than 100 is Severe ARDS with PEEP ≥ 5.

The New P/FP Ratio of 300 to 200 is mild, 200 to 100 is moderate and less than 100 is severe Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) for all the different levels of PEEP values.

What is being measured

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

  1. To predict mortality of ARDS patients using P/F and P/FP Ratio

    To predict mortality of different seventies of ARDS between P/F and P/FP Ratio. Day 1 ABG is taken and calulate the P/F and P/FP Ratio and analyze whether the new formula can predict the mortality on Day 1 after intubation.

    Measured: Baseline ABG done at (approximately 4 hour after intubation) to ABG done approximately 1 hour before Rescue therapy like Neuro Muscular blockage, Proning, ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenator, and High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by National University Health System, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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 7 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 26 Mar 2020. 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 Singapore. 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?

To predict mortality of ARDS patients using P/F and P/FP Ratio (time frame: Baseline ABG done at (approximately 4 hour after intubation) to ABG done approximately 1 hour before Rescue therapy like Neuro Muscular blockage, Proning, ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenator, and High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation.). 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 NCT03946150, 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 26 Mar 2020.
