About this study

Current study aimed to explore the effect of high PEEP during noninvasive ventilation among hypoxemic patients with acute respiratory failure.

Read the detailed description

This was a 1:1 randomized control trial to explore the effect of high versus low PEEP in noninvasive ventilation hypoxemic patients with acute respiratory failure. Several ICUs in China performed this study. In the high PEEP group, the PEEP maintained at 10-15 cmH2O, the inspiratory pressure maintained at 15-20 cmH2O. In the low PEEP group, the PEEP maintained at 5 cmH2O, the inspiratory pressure maintained at 10-20 cmH2O. The primary outcome was incidence of noninvasive ventilation failrue.

Being tested
Different level of PEEP

What participants receive

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

  • Different level of PEEPProcedure or surgery

    Different level of PEEP (low versus high) was applied in noninvasive ventilation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of noninvasive ventilation failure

    Noninvasive ventilation failure was defined as intubation, death or withdrawal of therapy during noninvasive ventilation.

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days of study

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. 28-day mortality

    Died within 28 days of study

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days of study

  2. Duration of noninvasive ventilation

    The days spent on noninvasive ventilation

    Measured: From beginning to 28 days of study

  3. Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation

    The days spent on invasive ventilation

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days of study

  4. Length of stay in ICU

    The days spent in ICU

    Measured: From beginning to 28 days of study

  5. Length of stay in hospital

    The days spent in hospital

    Measured: From beginning to 28 days of study

  6. The changes of PaO2/FiO2

    Oxygenation was calculated as PaO2/FiO2.

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days of study

  7. Side effect

    Side effect included the incidence of pressure ulcer, pneumothorax, vomitting, aspiration and dryness

    Measured: From randomization to 28 days of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Different level of PEEP in people with Noninvasive Ventilation, run by Chongqing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 24 Jan 2025. 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 China. 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?

Rate of noninvasive ventilation failure (time frame: From randomization to 28 days of study). 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 NCT05193786, 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 24 Jan 2025.
