Efficacy of Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Early Hypoxia Secondary to Thoracic Trauma

NCT00557752 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2009-02-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

* Severe post-traumatic hypoxia is mainly due to lung contusion. The intubation rate of these patients is near 20%.
* Treatment before intubation is needed, is based on pain control with epidural anesthesia and oxygen.
* The investigators' hypothesis is that adding non-invasive mechanical ventilation to the standard treatment can reduce the intubation rate if applied early in the course of the disease.
* As thoracic trauma is often associated with injuries in other body regions that may increase the complications of the technique, specific contraindications have been described.

Conditions

  • Post-Traumatic Respiratory Failure
