View clinical trials related to Spontaneous Breathing Trial.
Filter by:In patients who are mechanically ventilated for more than 72 hours weaning failure is a common issue. The Spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) is often done to assess if the patient can be extubated with a high chance of success. However, re-intubation rates are between 15 - 20 % after a successful SBT. The rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) is an important parameter used in an SBT. Because the high incidence of extubation failure (re-intubation within 48 hours) a search for a better parameter than the RSBI is warranted. Using the measured end-tidal oxygen (etO2) of mechanically ventilated patients it is possible to calculate the VO2, which is a measure of patient effort. The VO2 is a parameter with the potential to predict weaning success or failure, together with other parameters of patient effort like the work of breathing (WOB), pressure time product (PTP) and esophageal pressure swings, reflecting muscle strength of the diaphragm. Therefore, the investigators want to investigate if these parameters are associated with an SBT success or failure.
Currently, measurement of transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) using oesophageal and gastric balloons is the gold standard for the assessment of diaphragmatic effort. This technique is relatively invasive and its interpretation may be complex. The diaphragmatic longitudinal strain (LSdi) and strain rate (LSRdi) might provide additional information in the assessment of diaphragmatic effort and movement during SBT, allowing early detection of diaphragmatic dysfunction. Patients will be monitored during a 30-120 minutes SBT consisting of no assistance on the ventilator using CPAP with a pressure level of 0 cmH2O. Parameters to evaluate diaphragm function will include diaphragmatic strain (LSdi and LSRdi), diaphragmatic thickening fraction (TFdi), and airway occlusion pressure (ΔP0.1 and ΔPocc). These parameters will be measured immediately before ('baseline') the SBT, as well as 2 minutes ('early' assessment), 15 ('intermediate' assessment) and 30 minutes ('late' assessment) after the beginning of the SBT.
The Value of Repeated BIOMarker Measurements During an SBT to Predict EXtubation Failure in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients
The mechanical ventilation weaning must begin as early as possible to limit its complications and requires a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) before the separation from the ventilator to the patient. However, some patients fail this test and cannot be extubated. The main causes are pulmonary edema and diaphragmatic dysfunction. Predicting the risk of failure before carrying out the SBT makes it possible to anticipate a failure of the extubation and to adapt the therapies as well as possible. To assess the risk of pulmonary edema, cardiac preload, which corresponds to the end-diastolic filling volume of the ventricle, can be estimated using simple tests as the passive leg raising test before an SBT. However, this test requires tilting the patient's trunk and raising the lower limbs to 45°, and is not practical, especially in intensive care. The Müller maneuver, which allows maximum inspiratory pressure measurement via a one-way valve connected to the intubation tube, is currently used in routine care for diaphragmatic assessment. The endothoracic depression induced by this test is likely increasing venous return and cardiac output in patients with a reserve of preload, i.e. in preload-dependent patients. This test would be an easy alternative to the passive leg raising test used in current practice. The objectif is to assess whether the presence of an independant prelaod state, as detected by the absence of increased cardiac output during the Müller maneuver, is associated with the occurence of pulmonary edema during weaning from mechanical ventilation. The study consist in the measurement of cardiac output before and after the passive leg raising test and the Müller maneuver, then measurement of cardiac output before and after an SBT. A transthoracic ultrasound and a blood sample with dosage of proteins and hemoglobin will be carried out initially and then at the end of the SBT as part of routine care. The investigators hypothesize: - The Müller maneuver induces a greater increase in cardiac output in patients in a state of preload dependancy than in patients in a state of preload independancy. - The absence of documented preload dependancy during a Müller maneuver is associated with the occurrence of pulmonary edema during an SBT. The investigators included patients : - > 18 years old, conscious patient, with health insurance, placed under mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours ; - In whom it was decided to perform a passive leg raising test and an SBT. The investigators excluded pregnancy, patient with chest tube, particpation in another interventional study, tracheostomy, patient under legal protection.
During weaning from mechanical ventilation, the shift from positive to negative pressure ventilation may be responsible for a cardiac dysfunction that can lead to the development of pulmonary oedema (weaning-induced pulmonary oedema, WIPO) and to the failure of spontaneous breathing trials. However, the incidence and risk factors for WIPO development are not well defined and have been investigated only by a few studies.
In this study, the investigators will study music therapy for patients during breathing trials, a procedure performed in intensive care units. Participants will be assigned either to standard medical care or standard medical care plus music therapy. Participants have a 50/50 chance (like flipping a coin) of being in either group. In the music therapy group, a board-certified music therapist will sing softly with guitar accompaniment to provide music during the breathing trial. The music is in addition to the usual treatment provided by hospital staff. Participants in the standard medical care group will receive the usual medical care given by hospital staff members. Information will be collected from participant's charts and by observation of vital signs during the breathing trial.
Complex patterns of patient-ventilator interactions could be miscalculated by visual observation of mechanical ventilator screens or current algorithms based on physiologic waveforms to detect patient-ventilator asynchronies. Therefore, we aim to characterize, validate and study the clinical distribution and implications of an automated and personalized non-invasive tool based on Entropy to detect Complex Patient-Ventilator Interactions (CP-VI) during mechanical ventilation, defined as breathing pattern change and/or clusters of asynchronies, over the signals of airway pressure (Paw) and airway flow (Flow).
To correlate the data obtained by Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) during the spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) on a T-piece, in children, with failure in the trial and Extubation failure. Observe if the EIT monitoring will be able to detect the children that will fail earlier than the SBT performed alone. Method: A cross-sectional, prospective study to explore the potential benefits of monitoring with EIT during weaning.
Background: The requirement for ventilator support is a defining feature of critical illness. Weaning is the process during which the work of breathing is transferred from the ventilator back to the patient. Approximately 40% of the total time spent on ventilators is dedicated to weaning. The extent of practice variation in how this complex and expensive technology is discontinued from critically ill patients is unknown. Meanwhile, practice variation has been shown to adversely impact upon patient safety and clinical outcomes. Purpose: To characterize practice pattern variation in weaning and the consequences of weaning variation by implementing an international, prospective observational study in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, India and Australia/New Zealand. Primary Objectives: To describe 1. weaning practice variation among regions in 5 domains (the use of daily screening, preferred methods of support used before initial discontinuation attempts, use of written protocols, preferred methods of evaluating spontaneous breathing, and sedation and mobilization practices). 2. the assocation between selected discontinuation strategies and important clinical outcomes (length of stay, mortality, duration of ventilation). Methods: The investigators propose to conduct a large scale, observational study involving critically ill adults requiring ventilator support for at least 24 hours to evaluate practices in discontinuing ventilators in 150 centres. The investigators will classify each new admission over the observation period according to the initial strategy that precipitated or facilitated ventilator discontinuation. Relevance: This novel study will build collaborations with critical care investigators from around the world and industry
