Noninvasive Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation and Risk of Facial Pressure Ulcers

April 5, 2013 updated by: Giovanni Ferrari, Ospedale S. Giovanni Bosco

Noninvasive Positive Airway Pressure Ventilation and Risk of Facial Pressure Ulcers in Patients With Acute Respiratory Failure

To assess risk of skin pressure lesions in patients treated with noninvasive mechanical ventilation.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Noninvasive ventilation improves the outcome of patients with acute respiratory failure; however patient's discomfort may be responsible for up to a fifth of failures. Scant literature exists on NIV-related pressure ulcers and their determinants.

Aim of the study is to seek for determinants, if any, associated with the development of pressure ulcers related to noninvasive ventilation.

Study design: observational. Patients treated with NIV from December 2009 to December 2011 will be analyzed. Main end-points: to seek for variables associated to the development of NIV-related pressure ulcers in patients with acute respiratory failure.

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

Genders Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

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
Risk of skin pressure ulcers in patients treated with noninvasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure.
Time Frame: Risk of pressure ulcers within 72 hours from noninvasive ventilation beginning.

Skin lesions were classified as follows:

  • reddening,
  • loss of skin integrity,
  • necrotic lesion.
Risk of pressure ulcers within 72 hours from noninvasive ventilation beginning.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of skin pressure ulcers in patients treated with noninvasive ventilation.
Time Frame: Incidence of skin pressure ulcers. Patients will be followed during duration of high dependency unit stay for an average length of stay of 7 days.
Characterization of skin lesions during noninvasive ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure.
Incidence of skin pressure ulcers. Patients will be followed during duration of high dependency unit stay for an average length of stay of 7 days.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

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.
December 1, 2009

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.
December 1, 2011

Study Completion (ACTUAL)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
