Prone Positioning and Spontaneous Breathing (PROSE)

May 13, 2020 updated by: Osaka University

Prone Positioning and Spontaneous Breathing: a Feasibility Study

Spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation has been recommended in patients with ARDS and is currently used. in part because oxygenation is better and there is a lower risk of diaphragm dysfunction due to disuse. The other approach to minimizing lung injury from spontaneous effort is the use of neuromuscular blockade; an early and short term (48 hours) of neuromuscular blockade in patients with severe ARDS has been shown to decrease inflammation and to improve survival. The investigators propose a pilot study to test the feasibility and the physiological effects of allowing spontaneous breathing in the prone position in patients with ARDS.

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

The multi-center feasibility study will enroll 12 adult ARDS patients from the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in Japan and Peru. Informed consent will be obtained from the patient or legally authorized substitute decision maker. Moderate-to-severe ARDS patients who are planned to turn to prone positioning, based on the attending physician's decisions will be included. Prior to initiating the protocol, patients will be sedated deeply with sedatives and/or opioids. Ventilator settings, physiological data, esophageal pressure and diaphragm activity will be recorded and physiological measurements will be collected for 5 minutes in supine (Measurement 1: Supine + spontaneous effort) . Patients will be paralyzed with a continuous infusion of rocuronium, and Measurement 2 (Supine + paralysis) will be recorded. The critical care team in the ICU change the position from supine to prone. After waiting for at least 1 hour in prone positioning, Measurement 3 (Prone + paralysis) will be recorded. Continuous infusion of rocuronium will be gradually decreased (and can be terminated) until spontaneous breathing will be observed without reaching an excessive level. The presence of spontaneous breathing will be evaluated by the negative swing of esophageal pressure, and Measurement 5 (Prone + spontaneous breathing) will be recorded.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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
