Study population: All patients aged 18 years or older who were admitted to the ICU and required invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) were eligible for the study. Patients were excluded if they had chest drains, a contraindication to esophageal catheterization (e.g., recent upper gastrointestinal surgery, bleeding esophageal varices), or a concomitant acute exacerbation of obstructive airways disease.

About this study

The aim of this prospective physiological cohort study conducted in a medical intensive care unit (ICU) at Hospital del Mar in Barcelona, Spain, was to analyze the proportion of time spent within the "safe" range of respiratory effort (including esophageal pressure swing (ΔPes), respiratory muscular pressure (Pmus), and transdiaphragmatic pressure swing (ΔPdi)) in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), during the active breathing phase in relation to ICU survival.

The investigators hypothesized that AHRF patients on IMV with better outcome (i.e., ICU survivors) spend more time within the "safe" range of respiratory effort during the active breathing phase compared to non-survivors.

AHRF patients on IMV were continuously monitored with esophageal and gastric manometry from the detection of the onset of respiratory effort for up to 7 days, or until extubation, or until death, whichever occurred first.

Read the detailed description

To characterize in detail the evolution of respiratory effort over time, the investigators conducted a prospective observational cohort study with continuous recordings of airway pressure, flow, esophageal and gastric pressures for up to 7 days after the onset of respiratory effort in AHRF patients on IMV.

Patients were classified into two groups: ICU survivors and ICU non-survivors. The primary objective of the study was to analyze the proportion of time spent within a specified "safe" range for Pmus, ΔPes, and ΔPdi (respiratory effort physiological variables), during spontaneous breathing, comparing both groups during the first 7 days after the initiation of respiratory effort. The secondary objective was to analyze the median values of ΔPes, Pmus, and ΔPdi during the monitorization period (active breathing phase) between the two groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of time spent in different ranges of ΔPes (low, safe, and high) during the active breathing phase between the two groups

    The defined "safe" range for ΔPes was -5 to -10 cm H2O. Effort outside the defined "safe" range was categorized as "low" if it fell below the lower limit, or "high" if it exceeded the upper limit of the safe range for the variable.

    Measured: From the start the start of respiratory effort up to 7 days (or until extubation or death, if earlier)

  2. Proportion of time spent in different ranges of Pmus (low, safe, and high) during the active breathing phase between the two groups

    The defined "safe" range for Pmus was 5 to 15 cm H2O. Effort outside the defined "safe" range was categorized as "low" if it fell below the lower limit, or "high" if it exceeded the upper limit of the safe range for the variable.

    Measured: From the start the start of respiratory effort up to 7 days (or until extubation or death, if earlier)

  3. Proportion of time spent in different ranges of ΔPdi (low, safe, and high) during the active breathing phase between the two groups

    The defined "safe" range for ΔPdi was 3 to 12 cm H2O. Effort outside the defined "safe" range was categorized as "low" if it fell below the lower limit, or "high" if it exceeded the upper limit of the safe range for the variable.

    Measured: From the start the start of respiratory effort up to 7 days (or until extubation or death, if earlier)

  4. Median value of ΔPes during the active breathing phase between the two groups

    To analyze the median value of ΔPes during the active breathing phase between the two groups in cm H20.

    Measured: From the start the start of respiratory effort up to 7 days (or until extubation or death, if earlier)

  5. Median value of Pmus during the active breathing phase between the two groups

    To analyze the median value of Pmus during the active breathing phase between the two groups in cm H20.

    Measured: From the start the start of respiratory effort up to 7 days (or until extubation or death, if earlier)

  6. Median value of ΔPdi during the active breathing phase between the two groups

    To analyze the median value of ΔPdi during the active breathing phase between the two groups in cm H20.

    Measured: From the start the start of respiratory effort up to 7 days (or until extubation or death, if earlier)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. The need for the use of venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

    The need to perfom a tracheostomy duduring the mechanical ventilation period (yes or no)

    Measured: From date of initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation until extubation or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months

  4. Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV)

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 3 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 20 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 Spain. 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?

Proportion of time spent in different ranges of ΔPes (low, safe, and high) during the active breathing phase between the two groups (time frame: From the start the start of respiratory effort up to 7 days (or until extubation or death, if earlier)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06490523, which also lists 17 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 20 Nov 2024.
