About this study

Official title: Tidal Volume in Patients With "de Novo" Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Receiving Non-invasive Respiratory Supports: a Pilot Study

Protective ventilation can be difficult to achieve during noninvasive ventilation for "de novo"acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (i.e., not due to exacerbation of chronic lung disease or cardiac failure).Recent data suggest patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI) as a possible mechanism aggravating lung damage in these patients.

The aim of this study is evaluate the tidal volume, measured by respiratory inductance plethysmography, in patients receiving different non invasive respiratory support.

Being tested
Ventimask, High Flow Nasal cannula (HFNC), Helmet CPAP, Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

What participants receive

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

  • VentimaskDevice

    The patients will be asked to breathe spontaneously using their actual low oxygen flow

  • High Flow Nasal cannula (HFNC)Device

    The patients will be asked to breathe using high flow nasal cannula (HFNC). Air flow will set up to 60 l/m, temperature according to patient's comfort and FiO2 in order to obtain SpO2 values >/= 92%

  • Helmet CPAPDevice

    The patients will be asked to breathe with Helmet. CPAP will set at 10 cmH2O and FiO2 in order to obtain SpO2 values >/= 92%

  • Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV)Device

    the patients will be asked to breathe with the support of a ventilator via a oro-nasal interface

What is being measured

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

  1. respiratory pattern

    the way the patient is breathing recorded by respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP)

    Measured: 30 minutes

  2. respiratory mechanics

    the inspiratory effort of the patient recorded by esophageal pressure

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. changes in Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs)

    Arterial Blood Gases, namely arterial oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxyde (PaCO2) tension will be analyzed from a sample taken from the arterial artery

    Measured: immediately after intervention

  2. Dyspnea score

    Dyspnea will be recorded using the Borg scale that is a numeric scale where 0 is no dyspnea and 10 the maximal dyspnea that a patient can imagine

    Measured: immediately after intervention

  3. Comfort score

    this will be assessed using a dedicated visual analog scale (VAS with a length of 20 cm)

    Measured: immediately after intervention

  4. Blood pressure (BP) and Heart rate (HR) measurements

    blood pressure and heart rate will be assessed

    Measured: 30 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ventimask, High Flow Nasal cannula (HFNC) and Helmet CPAP in people with Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure, run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 13 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 9 Nov 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 Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

respiratory pattern (time frame: 30 minutes). 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 9 Nov 2021.
