Patients-ventilator Interaction During Sleep: Effect of Humidification System
Patients-ventilator Interaction During Sleep: the Role of Humidification. A Pilot Short Term Study
At present, little data is available in the medical literature regarding the affects of humidification on NIMV efficacy, sleep quality and upper airway symptoms in patients undergoing nocturnal NIMV.
The aim of the present pilot study is to assess the impact of two humidification systems on sleep quality, NIMV efficacy, patient-ventilator interaction, prevalence of NIMV side effects, compliance to treatment, in a group of stable patients already enrolled in a long-term nocturnal mechanical ventilation program for chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure or sleep hypoventilation.

Detailed Description
BACKGROUND Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), usually delivered during night time, is widely used at home in chronic hypercapnic respiratory, both in patients with COPD and restrictive thoracic diseases (RTD). The aim of chronic NIMV is to improve daytime arterial blood gases, sleep quality decreasing symptoms of hypoventilation (mainly during sleep), quality of life and mood.
Scarce data is available about the NIMV compliance at home; poor compliance may reduce the positive effects of mechanical ventilation. Previous data shows that patients enrolled to long-term home ventilation program may drop out early, mainly because of skin irritation, upper airway problems, and air leaks.
Studies performed on patients with sleep apnea, receiving CPAP therapy at home, showed that the occurrence of leaks during ventilation can cause the development of mucosal inflammation, nasal congestion and increased nasal airways resistance. On the other hand, the presence or the development of nasal obstruction makes the arise or the worsening of air leaks (the vicious cycle) more reliable.
A lack of humidification may increase nasal resistance and nasal symptoms and, therefore, contribute to reduction in compliance. Furthermore, leaks may have significant consequences on inspiratory and expiratory trigger functions, inducing poor patient-ventilator interactions. Indeed, the presence of ineffective efforts, the most common phenomenon of bad patient-ventilation interactions, is very common in patients receiving long term home ventilation and usually associated with poorer gas exchange during sleep.
At present, little data is available in the medical literature regarding the affects of humidification on NIMV efficacy, sleep quality and upper airway symptoms in patients undergoing nocturnal NIMV.
The aim of the present pilot study is to assess the impact of two humidification systems on sleep quality, NIMV efficacy, patient-ventilator interaction, prevalence of NIMV side effects, compliance to treatment, in a group of stable patients already enrolled in a long-term nocturnal mechanical ventilation program for chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure or sleep hypoventilation.
PATIENTS We plan to enrol 20 patients with chronic respiratory failure or sleep hypoventilation already included in a long-term home non-invasive ventilation program (at least 3 months).
Inclusion criteria Patients in stable conditions (no acute exacerbations in the 4 weeks before enrolment), well adapted to ventilation and without problems with the ventilation mask.
Exclusions criteria Patients with acute respiratory failure, recent exacerbations, severe co-morbidities (i.e. hearth failure, recent stroke etc.) Recent upper airways surgery. Allergic rhinitis, severe nasal stenosis.
STUDY DESIGN
Patients will undergo three consecutive nocturnal polysomnographs. Patients will have a baseline therapy of NIMV without humidification for 1 week. They will then undergo a nocturnal polysomnograph on the last evening of the baseline therapy. Patients will then be randomly assigned to use HH or HME for 1 week and undergo a nocturnal polysomnography on the last evening . The patients will then be assigned to the second method of humidification for 1 week and undergo a third nocturnal polysomnograph on the last evening. The whole evaluation will be performed with the same ventilator (ideally the patient's device) using the patient's mask and with the usual ventilator setting.
Measures
At enrolment:
Lung function test Standard questionnaire about the use and tolerability of NIMV at home Measure of NIMV compliance at home Blood gas analysis during wakefulness (during spontaneous breathing - SB - and during NIMV) The breathing pattern during wakefulness (during SB and NIMV)
Polysomnographic evaluation
Full standard assisted polysomnography with simultaneous recordings of Tidal Volume, Leaks, pressure in mask, respiratory rate, instantaneous minute ventilation.
Analysis of sleep data will be performed according to standard criteria (AASM 2007).
Analysis of breathing pattern and patients-ventilator interaction will be made according to previous published methods (Fanfulla, Tuggey, Techsler etc..).
At the end of the each PSG recording, patients will be asked about their humidification and NIMV tolerance as well as the presence of upper airway symptoms (Nava et al).
