Standardized BAL Procedure for Critical Patients to Diagnose Pneumonia

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

In order to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of pulmonary pathogens and reduce the adverse impact of excessive BAL volume on patients, this study intends to explore the most optimal lavage volume in the middle lobe and the lower lobe of critical patients as well as seeking for the best way to manage BALF samples by means of detecting alveolar proteins and bacterial composition in BALF samples. The hypothesis is that the optimal lavage volume in the middle lobe and the lower lobe might be different. And to sample BALF separately through sequential lavage might be a better way to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of pneumonia pathogens.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a self-control study consisted of three parts. Firstly, searching for the optimal lavage volume in the middle lobe and the lower lobe of critical patients by exploring the differences between the concentration of alveolar proteins among BALF samples of every participant. Several BALF samples are seperately collected from every single participant through sequential lavage(an initial 20 ml saline lavage at main bronchus and 5 aliquots of 20 ml saline lavage at the subsegment of the right middle lobe or 6 aliquots of 20 ml saline lavage at the lower lobe) . The concentration of Alveolar proteins including Surfactant protein B (SP-B), Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and Human typeⅠprotein (HTⅠ-56) will be determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Meanwhile, the amount of living cells as well as the proportion of squamous cells and columnar cells in BALF samples will be counted. Secondly, to confirm the optimal lavage volume through quantitative bacterial culture of BALF and sputum samples of participants. And BALF samples will also be tested by next generation sequencing（NGS） to identify microorganism. Thirdly, to observe the effect of BAL on respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The Vital signs, arterial gas analysis, ventilator parameters and respiratory mechanical parameters of patients before and within 24 hours after the BAL procedure will be recorded. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
