  Purpose

This study will compare Drager Smart Care (SC), a commercially available automated ventilator controlled weaning mode to the current daily spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) weaning protocol. The study is designed to determine if automated ventilator controlled weaning can reduce total duration of intubation following mechanical ventilation in ICU patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (>72 hours).

Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Comparison of Automated Ventilator Controlled Weaning to Daily Spontaneous Breathing Trial Weaning Protocol in ICU Patients Following Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation.

Further study details as provided by University of California, San Francisco:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • weaning time to successful spontaneous breathing trial [ Time Frame: 28 days or extubation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • weaning time to successful extubation [ Time Frame: 28 days or extubation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • ventilator weaning days [ Time Frame: 28 days or extubation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • total duration of ventilatory support [ Time Frame: 28 days or extubation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • reintubations within 48 hours [ Time Frame: 48 hrs ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • sedation and analgesic requirements [ Time Frame: 28 days or extubation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • ICU and hospital length of stay [ Time Frame: total time of ICU and hospital stay ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • clinical staff time requirements [ Time Frame: during active weaning period ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Intubated with endotracheal tube
  • Requiring mechanical ventilation for > 72 hours
  • Meets weaning criteria: Improvement or resolution of the underlying process that precipitated need for mechanical ventilation, PaO2 ≥ 60 mm Hg on PEEP and FiO2 Requirements of ≤ 8 cm H2O and FiO2 ≤ 0.50, Stable oxygenation: PEEP and FiO2 requirements not increased in the past 24 hrs, Ability to initiate an inspiratory effort and trigger the ventilator, Subject enrollment approved by the primary service attending physician

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy
  • Patients with tracheostomy or planned tracheostomy prior to attempt to extubate
  • Patients with known airway patency issues that are anticipated to delay extubation.
  • Patients with neurological injury in whom care is likely to be withdrawn
  • Patients with cervical spinal cord injury.
  • Prospective subject or surrogate consenter does not fully understand the implications of the study because of a language barrier.
