The ACCESSIT Study

Role of ACCESsory Muscles in Mechanically Ventilated Patients After Spinal Cord Injury and Trauma: a Physiological Study - The ACCESSIT Study

Sponsor

Unity Health Toronto

Enrollment

30 participants

Start Date

Dec 17, 2021

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Respiratory Support

Summary

The study is designed to characterize and monitor the structure, degree of activation and function of the different respiratory muscles during mechanical ventilation after spine trauma and spinal cord injury.

Eligibility

Min Age: 16 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at how to best support breathing in people who have had a traumatic spinal injury and require a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator). It aims to understand changes in the diaphragm and breathing muscles over time in these patients. You may be eligible if... - You are 16 years or older - You have a traumatic spinal injury (with or without spinal cord injury) - You currently need mechanical ventilation through a breathing tube or tracheostomy - A substitute decision-maker can provide consent if you are unable to You may NOT be eligible if... - Treatment is expected to be withdrawn within 24 hours - You had chronic respiratory failure requiring a ventilator before your injury - You have a pre-existing neuromuscular disease Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

OTHERMechanical Ventilation

Patients will be assessed and measurements will be taken during controlled ventilation (most likely \<72 hours of ICU admission), during partially assisted ventilation, and until spontaneous unassisted breathing is reached.
