About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Trans Alveolar Pressure Measurement as an Index for Lung Recruitment in Post Cardiac Surgery Hypoxic Patients.

the study is conducted on hypoxic adult patients underwent open heart surgery after arrival to the intensive care unit and stabilization of patients' hemodynamics to assess the efficacy of transalveolar pressure measurement as an index for lung recruitment.

Read the detailed description

After one hour from the patient's ICU admission and after stabilization of the patient's haemodynamics, alveolar recruitment will be done for hypoxic patients with hypoxic index less than 250.

The recruitment will be started in the adaptive ventilation mode (AVM mode) using modified stepwise staircase recruitment maneuver in which every 2 minutes positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is increased in increments of 2 cmH2O and the driving pressure will be regulated by AVM mode.

The increase in PEEP will be guided by improvement of dynamic compliance, oxygen saturation and transalveolar pressure (PTA) till near overdistention.

Overdistension will be detected if there are decrease in the mean arterial pressure 25% from the base line value reported after stabilization of the patient's haemodynamics, or decreased oxygen saturation or sudden decrease in dynamic compliance, or inspiratory PTA more than15 cm H2O.

Then PEEP is decreased 2 cm H2O every 3 minutes till a decrease expiratory PTA less than 1 cm H2O, or a decrease in dynamic compliance or a decrease in oxygen saturation ≥ 1% from maximum oxygen saturation is observed (the derecruitment point) then return to a PEEP level 2 cm H2O above the derecruitment point (the optimal PEEP).

Alveolar recruitment will be done once.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lung recruitment protocol in people with Hypoxia, run by University of Alexandria at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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 7 Jan 2021. 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 Egypt. 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?

transalveolar pressure (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jan 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
