Pulmonary Injury clinical trials

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.

Pulmonary Physiologic Assessment of Patients on Veno-arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA ECMO)

Start date: January 9, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

There is limited data on the respiratory system mechanics and ideal mode of ventilation for patients on veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) post cardiac arrest. In this observational study, the investigators will review and/or obtain laboratory, hemodynamic, respiratory system mechanical, and clinical data from patients on VA ECMO. The specific aims of this study are as follows: Aim 1: To characterize the lung ventilation strategy employed in patients on VA ECMO and its success. Aim 2: To characterize respiratory system mechanics while on ECMO using esophageal manometry and Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). Aim 3: To characterize right heart function and pulmonary vascular hemodynamics on the employed ventilation strategy. The overarching hypothesis is that fine-tuned individualized ventilation might be superior to an algorithm that does not account for cardiac and pulmonary functions. Therefore, the aims of this study are to identify areas in which the ventilation strategy may theoretically be suboptimal, which will guide future interventional studies investigating alternatives methods of ventilation which may reduce time on the ventilator after cardiac arrest, time in the intensive care unit, and need for veno-venous ECMO.
