Trial summary

More than 300,00 people in the United States experience acute respiratory failure and require mechanical ventilation every year. Of those that recover and are extubated, the most common reason for reintubation is recurrent respiratory failure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preventing Failed Extubations Cohort Study

More than 300,00 people in the United States experience acute respiratory failure and require mechanical ventilation every year. Of those that recover and are extubated, the most common reason for reintubation is recurrent respiratory failure. Our study proposes a novel methodology for identifying those patients most at risk for recurrent respiratory failure.

Read the detailed description

Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) with pressure-support ventilation are commonly used to determine if mechanically ventilated patients are ready for extubation. However, 10-25% of all patients who pass a spontaneous breathing trial and are extubated will require re-intubation . Extubation failure is associated with an up to 50% increased risk of death independent of other risk factors and patient characteristics . Currently proposed methods for identifying patients who pass an SBT but are at high risk of reintubation perform poorly when applied in a real-world setting . Thus, there is a critical need to develop new methodologies for identifying patients at high risk for extubation failure.

Respiratory system mechanics, such as compliance, driving pressure, and plateau pressure, can identify patients at risk of poor outcomes, including prolonged mechanical ventilation and death. However, respiratory system mechanics are not commonly measured during spontaneous breathing trials, and the relationship between respiratory mechanics during an SBT and extubation failure is not known. This is due in part to long-standing concerns that accurate measurements of plateau pressures, and thus driving pressures and compliance, cannot be made in spontaneously breathing patients.

The objective of this study is to determine if respiratory compliance measured during a spontaneous breathing trial is a feasible method for identifying patients at increased risk of extubation failure.

What participants receive

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

  • Plateau PressureDiagnostic test

    Plateau pressure will be measured on all patients in the participating intensive care units prior to extubation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients who had a plateau pressure measured prior to extubation as a measure of feasibility

    Feasibility is defined as 95% of patients having had a plateau pressure measured prior to extubation.

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of patients who were reintubated prior to hospital discharge

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mechanical Ventilation Complication and Weaning Failure, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 21 Nov 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Percentage of patients who had a plateau pressure measured prior to extubation as a measure of feasibility (time frame: Day 0). 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 21 Nov 2024.
