Trial summary

Mechanical ventilation in ARDS requires protective ventilation and PEEP. Airway closer has to be overcome to reduce lung heterogeneity, AOP is measured globally with a ventilator PV curve without PEEP. EIT derived PV curve is another method that could determine heterogeneity of AOP between both lung. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Measurement of Airway Opening Pressure (AOP) in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom With Pressure Volume Curve on the Ventilator and With Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) Derived Method in Comparison of the Curves in Patients With or Without Covid 19 Pneumoniae.

Mechanical ventilation in ARDS requires protective ventilation and PEEP. Airway closer has to be overcome to reduce lung heterogeneity, AOP is measured globally with a ventilator PV curve without PEEP. EIT derived PV curve is another method that could determine heterogeneity of AOP between both lung.

This study aims to determine whether AOP measured with EIT derived PV curve is similar to AOP on the ventilator PV curve and see if AOP is different between lungs.

If airway closer is higher on one lung, global AOP on the ventilator PV curve probably estimates the other lung.

Read the detailed description

Scientific justification:

In one third of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), tidal inflation starts when an airway opening pressure (AOP) is overcome 1. This phenomenon of airway closure has been underestimated and misinterpreted. Recent research demonstrates that airway closure is a matter of concern as it participates to the heterogeneity of tidal ventilation distribution and it can amplify Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI). The detection of airway closure and the measurement of AOP need a pressure volume curve at low flow and no positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). However, this will measure a global AOP whereas ventilation is heterogeneous between the two lungs in ARDS. EIT is an interesting monitoring tool that could allow EIT derived PV curve construction with measurement of regional AOP2, right vs left lung. The investigor wants to compare global AOP on ventilator PV curve with left and right lung EIT derived AOP measurements. Recent Covid 19 pneumoniae is responsible for numerous acute respiratory distress with severe hypoxemia. Phenotypes are discussed with differences in terms of respiratory mechanics. It is therefore important to describe specifically Covid 19 patients with ARDS.

Strategy description:

Patients with moderate to severe ARDS equipped with EIT will be included. PEEP will be titrated with PEEP-EIT method. A classical low flow PV curve from without PEEP will be done, the acquisition of EIT data during PV curve will be analysed secondary with a dedicated software. PV curve on the ventilator will be analysed to determine if there is an airway closer phenomenon. Reconstruction of EIT derived PV curve will determine, first: if there is a left and/or right lung airway closer phenomenon, and second: the value of each lung AOP.

Follow up description:

  • Measurement of ventilator pressures, flow and volume before/during/after the PV curve.
  • Last chest X Ray and arterial blood gases,
  • Haemodynamic data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

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 8 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 29 Aug 2022. 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 France. 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?

Comparison of the PV curves (time frame: At inclusion day). 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 29 Aug 2022.
