About this study

Official title: Frequencies, Risk Factors and Outcome of Ventilation-Associated Lung Complications At Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)

This study aims to determine the incidence, risk factors and outcome of ventilation associated common complication in the PICUs at Assiut University Children Hospital in Egypt.

Read the detailed description

A constellation of adverse effects and complications may be associated with mechanical ventilation,The following are the Commonest Complications of Mechanical Ventilation

  1. Ventilator-associated pneumonia.
  2. Ventilator-induced lung injury.
  3. Ventilation induce Hemodynamic compromise leads to ARDS. Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) It refers to nosocomial pneumonia occurring 48 hours or more after initiation of mechanical ventilation (MV)

It is the second most common HAI after blood stream infection in the paediatric age group, accounting for about 20% of all HAIs in the paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and has a rate of 2.9- 21.6 per 1000 ventilator days.The risk factors responsible for VAP occurrence can be classified into:

A-Host related factors: include associated co-morbidities B-Device-related factors: include the endotracheal tube, the ventilation circuit, and the presence of a nasogastric or an orogastric tube.

C-Personnel related factors: include improper hand hygiene and inadequate use of personal protective equipment.

VAP is associated with increased hospital morbidity; mortality; duration of hospitalization by an average of 7-9 days per patient; and health care costs . The incidence rates of VAP are higher in developing countries with limited resources.

Ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI) It is the lung damage by application positive or negative pressure to the lung by mechanical ventilation.

The prevalence of VALI in children admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) may approximate 10%.

Types of VALI:

  • Voltrauma (This is damage caused by over-distension)
  • Barotrauma (destructive entry of pressurised airway gases into the parenchyma, or into blood vessels.)
  • Biotrauma (is known to upregulate pulmonary cytokine production)
  • Oxygen toxicity (This is the damage caused by a high concentration of inspired oxygen)
  • Recruitment /de-recruitment injury (atelectotrauma)
  • Shearing injury Risk factors for VALI: blood product transfusion, acidaemia, and history of restrictive lung disease. larger tidal volume. investigators observed lower mortality among children ventilated with Vt ~8 mL/kg actual bodyweight compared with ~10 mL/kg in a before-after retrospective study .

Ventilation induce Hemodynamic compromise leads to ARDS:

Definition: Decrease in mean arterial pressure of 60 mm Hg or an absolute decrease to a systolic blood pressure < 80 mm Hg in the first 2 hours after intubation, required treatment for LTH with vasopressors.

primary factor influencing mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) Incidence: 28.6% of patients intubated in the emergency department developed post-intubation hypotension, tatistically significant association between LTH and hyper carbic (PCO2 > 50 mm) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

What participants receive

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

  • Mechanical ventilationDevice

    type of therapy that helps you breathe or breathes for you when you can't breathe on your own

What is being measured

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

  1. assess right sided heart failure post ventilator acquired pneumonia

    use modified ross score for evaluation of heart failure post mechanical ventilation

    Measured: one year from april 2022 to april 2023

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Asess the risk factors associated with barotrauma on mechanical ventilation

    previous chronic lung disease .previous NICU or PICU admission

    Measured: one year from april 2022 to april 2023

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP), run by Assiut University 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 1 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 31 Mar 2023. 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?

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?

assess right sided heart failure post ventilator acquired pneumonia (time frame: one year from april 2022 to april 2023). 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 NCT05792501, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 Mar 2023.
