Trial summary

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute respiratory failure. The therapeutic management is currently based on the treatment of the cause of ARDS, and on mechanical ventilation with positive expiratory pressure (PEEP). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) for the Setting of High-pressure in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) on Time Controlled Adaptive Ventilation (TCAV).

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute respiratory failure. The therapeutic management is currently based on the treatment of the cause of ARDS, and on mechanical ventilation with positive expiratory pressure (PEEP). Another strategy that could be used is Time Controlled Adaptive Ventilation (TCAV) method based on ventilation using the airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) mode.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) allows individual, non-invasive, real-time, bedside, radiation-free imaging of an anteroposterior section of the right and left lungs, with global and regional dynamic analyses.

The aim of the study is to evaluate EIT for PHigh titration of TCAV.

Read the detailed description

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of acute respiratory failure with a mortality rate of up to 35% for the most severe forms. The therapeutic management is currently based on the treatment of the cause of ARDS, and on mechanical ventilation with positive expiratory pressure (PEEP). Another strategy that could be used is Time Controlled Adaptive Ventilation (TCAV) method based on ventilation using the airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) mode.

The TCAV method is based on a prolonged THigh set at a constant pressure, creating a continuous positive pressure phase associated with a brief release during a TLow allowing the elimination of carbon dioxide and the creation of an intrinsic PEEP. With long high pressure phase this method could result in better recruitment but could also expose the patient to overdistention. While the TLow setting is well defined, level of PHigh is not standardized.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) allows individual, non-invasive, real-time, bedside, radiation-free imaging of an anteroposterior section of the right and left lungs, with global and regional dynamic analyses. Results of recent studies have highlighted the benefits of EIT, especially for ARDS patients in titrating PEEP in volume-controlled ventilation.

To date, no published study has evaluated EIT for PHigh titration using the TCAV method in patients with severe ARDS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ARDS, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France 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 2 inclusion and 6 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 10 May 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Matthieu KOSZUTSKI, MD (+33383153851, m.koszutski@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of collapsed units on EIT (time frame: through study completion an average of 1 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 10 May 2024.
