Importance of Integrated Pulmonary Index in Pediatric Bronchoscopy
Turkey (Türkiye)60 participantsStarted 2022-09-01
Plain-language summary
Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) is a tool that provides numerical values on a scale of 1-10 based on physiological parameters such as peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, respiratory rate, end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2). It is a valuable monitor for sedation procedures and can provide early warning during cardiorespiratory derangements. In this study, we wanted to evaluate the value of IPI in cases of pediatric bronchoscopy performed under sedation. Our outcome measure will be the correlation of IPI values with standard monitoring parameters.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial studied something called the Integrated Pulmonary Index during bronchoscopy procedures in children — can you explain what that index measures and whether it's something you use when monitoring my child's breathing during procedures?
2Since this trial used ketamine for sedation and tracked respiratory safety with a special monitoring tool, how does that compare to the sedation approach you would use for my child's bronchoscopy, and what monitoring would be in place?
3The trial is now completed — have any results been published yet, and if so, do the findings change how you think about respiratory monitoring during pediatric bronchoscopy?
4Because this was a monitoring study rather than a treatment trial, does it affect how you'd assess whether my child is a good candidate for a similar bronchoscopy procedure using ketamine sedation?
5Are there standard-of-care monitoring practices for pediatric bronchoscopy that already incorporate tools like the Integrated Pulmonary Index, or is this still something being evaluated before wider use?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
