A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Mechanical Ventilation on the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (IVCCI)

March 4, 2024 updated by: Naeem Ali, MD

A Prospective Pilot Study to Evaluate the Effect of Mechanical Ventilation on the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index

Previous research has shown that the Inferior Vena Cava Collapsibility Index (IVCCI) can be used to assess volume status. One limitation of the previous work is that changes in intra-thoracic pressure can influence this measurement, and the magnitude of this effect has never been described. The investigators aim is to correlate the degree of change in IVCCI with the set degree of change in intra-thoracic pressure in a heterogeneous population of critically ill patients.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Initially eligible patients will be those admitted to the OSU MICU and 8ICU within the prior 48 hours. These patients will be screened for predetermined exclusion criteria. Eligible patients will have their IVCCI measured and baseline peak and plateau pressures noted. For those patients meeting a second set of criteria, a common ventilator maneuver will be preformed. The positive end-expiratory pressure will be increased by 5-10 cm/H20 pressure. This procedure will be aborted if ANY safety criteria are exceeded. During the interval, the IVCCI will be re-measured, the ventilator settings will be recorded, and the ventilator will be return to the initial settings. Since changes of these same magnitude are made daily in clinical practice, the risks to the patients in this study will be minimal and no more than that experienced in the course of usual care.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  2. Current suspected Asthma Exacerbation
  3. Profound Hypoxia defined as a FiO2 requirement >90% or a PEEP >10 mmHg

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determine the effect of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure on intrathoracic pressure variables in patients with acute respiratory failure.
Time Frame: 24 months
  1. Determine the effect on inferior vena cava collapsibility index of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure (and resultant change in mean airway pressure) in patients with acute respiratory failure.
  2. Determine the effect on central venous pressure of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure (and resultant change in mean airway pressure) in patients with acute respiratory failure.
  3. Determine the effect on mean airway pressure of an increase in positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with acute respiratory failure.
24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Determine the inter-rater reliability in obtaining inferior vena cava collapsibility index ultrasound images.
Time Frame: 24 months
24 months
Determine the relationship between central venous pressure and inferior vena cava collapsibility index at varying levels of mean airway pressure (MAP).
Time Frame: 24 Months

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
