SGLT2 Inhibitors in Patients With ADHF During Ventilator Weaning

November 16, 2023 updated by: National Taiwan University Clinical Trial Center, National Taiwan University Hospital

The Potential Beneficial Effects of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure During Ventilator Weaning: a Prospective Multicenter Cohort Study.

This study will explore the potential benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in preventing cardiac ischemia and cardiopulmonary edema in patients with acute decompensated heart failure during weaning from ventilators.

Detailed Description

Patients with acute decompensated HF will be open-label randomly assigned to be treated with or without SGLT2 inhibitors (either empagliflozin 10 mg once daily or dapagliflozin 10 mg once daily) 3 days before ventilator weaning in a ratio of 2:1. If the patients are allocated to SGLT2i treatment group, they will be further randomized equally to either empagliflozin- or dapagliflozin-treated group. A series of examination will be performed to detect weaning-induced cardiac ischemia and weaning-induced cardiopulmonary edema, including electrocardiography, chest X-ray, echocardiography, and biomarkers.

Echocardiography Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) will be performed by a trained operator at several time points: (1) before SBT and SGLT2i initiation; (2) during SBT trial just after initiating SGLT2 inhibitor; (3) during SBT trial 3 days after initiation of SGLT2 inhibitor; (4) within 24 hrs after extubation; (5) 7-10 days after extubation; (6) 90±7 days after extubation.

Biomarkers NT-proBNP, plasma protein, high-sensitive cardiac troponin T, and hemoglobin level will be checked at several time points: (1) before spontaneous breathing trial (SBT), (2) during SBT trial (at least 10 mins after the initiation of SBT) just after initiating SGLT2 inhibitor; (3) during SBT (at least 10 mins after the initiation of SBT) trial 3 days after SGLT2 inhibitor; (4) within 24 hrs after extubation; (5) 7~10 days after extubation; (5) 90±7 days after extubation. We will also check arterial blood gas analyses at the end of SBT trial just after initiating SGLT2 inhibitor and 3 days after SGLT2 inhibitor.
