About this study

Official title: The Value of Combined Critical Care Ultrasound and PAC Monitor Oriented Therapy Protocol (CUP Protocol) to Prevention and Treatment of Patients of ARDS(Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) With ACP(Acute Cor Pulmonate)

We hypothesize that combined critical care ultrasound and PAC monitoring-oriented therapy protocol (CUP protocol), would improve prognosis of patients of ARDS with right ventricular dysfunction.

Therefore, the overall goal of the study is: 1) To build the combined critical care ultrasound and PAC monitoring-oriented therapy protocol (CUP Protocol)in detail for patients of ARDS with RV dysfunction. Advantage of CUP protocol is that it directly aims at key parameters that we need for the prevention and treatment of such patients; we could improve the mechanical ventilation protocol, unequal pulmonary lesions, hemodynamics management and reduce pulmonary artery pressure according to these parameters, so that to improve the prognosis of the patients.2) To verify the value of CUP Protocol in ARDS with ACP.

Read the detailed description

ARDS is a hot topic due to its high morbidity and mortality. Severe ACP is independent predictor of mortality of ARDS and mortality of patients of ARDS with ACP is up to 48% to 60%. Therefore, prevention and treatment of ACP is key of improvement of mortality of ARDS patients. The occurrence of ACP is closely related to elevated RV afterload, which is due to pulmonary vascular spasm (caused by hypoxia and hypercapnia) and effect of cardiopulmonary interaction (due to inadequate mechanical ventilation), as well as the factors such as inadequate fluid treatment and other inadequate treatments. Therefore, ARDS with right ventricular dysfunction is hard to treat and easy to aggravate.

Critical care ultrasound could show pathophysiologic changes of lung and ventricular interaction and direct etiological treatment and pulmonary artery catheter could perform continuous and accurate monitoring. Therefore, Critical care ultrasound and PAC have their own advantages respectively and is complementary to each other theoretically. Experts opinions recommend echocardiography is mandatory and PAC could be considered in ventilated ARDS patients. However, there is no acknowledged therapeutic protocol, and no one know how to combine these two monitor tools, including specific application protocol, integration of parameters and the decision tree.

We had demonstrated the feasibility of combined monitoring protocol oriented delicate fluid management and mechanical ventilation, and the value of kidney protection under systemic treatment of optimized monitoring through the kidney contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. At the same time, we preliminary built the systemic diagnostic and treatment decision tree and provided the way and entry point of our study.

We hypothesize that combined critical care ultrasound and PAC monitoring-oriented therapy protocol (CUP protocol), would improve prognosis of patients of ARDS with right ventricular dysfunction.

Therefore, the overall goal of the study is: 1) To build the combined critical care ultrasound and PAC monitoring-oriented therapy protocol (CUP Protocol)in detail for patients of ARDS with RV dysfunction. Advantage of CUP protocol is that it directly aims at key parameters that we need for the prevention and treatment of such patients; we could improve the mechanical ventilation protocol, unequal pulmonary lesions, hemodynamics management and reduce pulmonary artery pressure according to these parameters, so that to improve the prognosis of the patients.2) To verify the value of CUP Protocol in ARDS with ACP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PAC catheter and critical care ultrasound examination in people with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult and Ventricular Dysfunction, Right, run by Kang Yan.

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 4 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 3 Jun 2019. 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?

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?

28-day mortality (time frame: 28 days after enrollment). 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 Jun 2019.
