An interventional study of Noninvasive positive airway pressure with different levels in Pleural Effusion, sponsored by Universidade Cidade de Sao Paulo. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-01-23.
Sponsored by Universidade Cidade de Sao Paulo · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Question: What level of noninvasive positive airway pressure is able to expand the lungs of people with pleural drainage? Design: Cross-sectional, experimental and randomized study. Participants: Four consecutive people with pleural effusion drained within 24 hours, with controlled pain and without contraindications to use of noninvasive positive pressure. Intervention: Each person will be randomly subjected to three levels of noninvasive positive airway pressure: 0 (zero), 4 and 15 cmH2O for evaluation via chest computed tomography. Outcome measures: Lung area.
324 studies on the registry are indexed under Pleural Effusion; 62 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 4 is below the median of 63 across 212 interventional studies indexed under Pleural Effusion.

Exclusion Criteria:
After draining, people will be asked about the level of pain via visual numeric scale and then subjected to chest computed tomography (Aquilion 64-Toshiba Medical Systems®, Japan), using positive airway pressure in the airways with 0 cmH2O
Device: Noninvasive positive airway pressure with different levels
After draining, people will be asked about the level of pain via visual numeric scale and then subjected to chest computed tomography (Aquilion 64-Toshiba Medical Systems®, Japan), using positive airway pressure in the airways with 4 cmH2O
