May 9, 2022 updated by: Zujin Luo, Beijing Chao Yang Hospital

Effects of High-intensity Versus Low-intensity Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to investigate the effects of high-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), as compared with low-intensity NPPV, on hypercapnia, consciousness, inspiratory muscle effort, dyspnea, NPPV tolerance, inflammatory response, adverse events and other outcomes in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

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 and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
EXPERIMENTAL: High-intensity NPPV
The patients will receive high-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
Device: High-intensity NPPV
In the high-intensity NPPV group, patients will undergo pressure-limited NPPV (eg, NPPV in spontaneous/timed mode) at a higher IPAP level. IPAP is initially set at 10 cmH2O and continuously adjusted by increments and decrements of 1-2 cmH2O (typically ranging between 20 and 30 cmH2O), according to patients' tolerance, to obtain a tidal volume (VT) of 10-15 mL/kg. IPAP should be increased as much as possible to decrease PaCO2 to a normal level. However, if PaCO2 decreases to less than 35 mmHg, IPAP should be decreased to achieve normocapnia.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Low-intensity NPPV
The patients will receive low-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
Device: Low-intensity NPPV
In the low-intensity NPPV group, patients will undergo pressure-limited NPPV (eg, NPPV in spontaneous/timed mode) with a conventional IPAP level. IPAP is initially set to 10 cmH2O and is continuously adjusted by increments and decrements of 1-2 cmH2O (up to 20 cmH2O), according to patients' tolerance, to obtain a VT of 6-10 mL/kg.

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.
