CO2 Clearance During Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV)

November 26, 2018 updated by: dr. Stefano Nava, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna

Evaluation of a New System to Clear CO2 During Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV)

In this randomized cross over study the investigators will evaluate the effects on gas exchange and patients' tolerance of a new CO2 non rebreathing devices incorporated in the mask vs the traditional mask COPD patients undergoing NIV for an episode of Acute Hypercapnia Respiratory Failure, will be randomized after at least 12 hour of ventilation to 1 h.trial with the usual full face mask or the same mask with the addition of a new CO2 clearance device

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In this randomized cross over study the investigators will evaluate the effects on gas exchange and patients' tolerance of a new CO2 non rebreathing devices incorporated in the mask vs the traditional mask COPD patients undergoing NIV for an episode of Acute Hypercapnia Respiratory Failure, will be randomized after at least 12 hour of ventilation to 1 h.trial with the usual full face mask (FM) or the same mask with the addition of a new CO2 clearance device (FM+d) In the interval between NIV sessions, arterial blood gases will be monitored and if PaCO2 will return to a baseline value with a tolerance of 10%, the patients will undergo another 1 h trial using the other mask.

The subjects will be studied in the sitting position and asked to relax throughout the period of the study.

The patients will be ventilated using pressure support ventilation (PSV) The order of use of the two interfaces will be determined for each patient by a previously generated randomized sequence.

FIO2 will be adjusted to obtain oxygen saturation around 92% at baseline and never modified throughout the study.

End-expiratory pressure will always fixed at 2 cm H2O, and trigger sensitivity will set at -0.5 cm H2O.

Inspiratory assistance during either PSV will be titrated to achieve a tidal volume between 6-8 mL/kg while avoiding occurrence of discomfort or visually assessed "wasted efforts".

The ventilatory settings will determined at the beginning of the first trial, and maintained unmodified throughout all the 3 runs.

Patient tolerance to NIMV, defined as the level of comfort using the different mask, will be assessed by means of a scale used and validated in previous studies that is defined as follows: 1, bad; 2, poor; 3, sufficient; 4, good; 5, very good. The patients were asked by the respiratory therapist to answer the following question: "How do the patient feel your breathing is using this mask?" The patient will give the score to the therapist at the end of each run, just before ABG measurements.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: immediate
Recording of carbon dioxide arterial tensione and oxygen arterial tension using an arterial puncture performed in the radial artery
immediate
patient's tolerance to the mask
Time Frame: immediate
the tolerance will be recorded using an ad hoc scale
