"NAVA-PAV" Study: a Cross-over Comparative Study of 2 Advanced Modes

December 2, 2014 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Comparison of Two New Ventilatory Modes: NAVA vs PAV+: a Randomized Controlled Cross-over Study: the "NAVA-PAV" Study

Neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) and Proportional Assist Ventilatory Plus (PAV +) are new modes of mechanical ventilation that delivers ventilatory assist in proportion to the electrical activity of the diaphragm for NAVA and to patients efforts for PAV +. The goal of this trial is to compare oxygenation,ventilator comfort, patients -ventilator asynchronies, and sleep pattern between NAVA and PAV+.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Twenty patients will be enrolled. They will be ventilated with PAV+ and NAVA for one day, each in a randomized crossover order. The oxygenation,ventilator comfort, patients -ventilator asynchronies, and sleep pattern will be compared.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: NAVA ventilatory mode
The two ventilatory modes will be studied during 24h in intubated patients in random order.
Other: PAV+ ventilatory mode
The two ventilatory modes will be studied during 24h in intubated patients in random order.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Oxygenation in NAVA and in PAV+
Time Frame: after one day of ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+
after one day of ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ventilatory comfort
Time Frame: Every 6 hours in the two ventilatory modes

Ventilatory comfort will be assessed by :

  • objective criteria expressed in time spent in each mode in the area called "comfort" (12 < Respiratory frequence < 28 c/min ; Current Volume > 300 mL and EtCO2 < 55 mmHg)
  • subjective criteria expressed by the self-assessment of the patient's comfort on a visual analogic scale.
Every 6 hours in the two ventilatory modes
Patient-ventilator asynchronies
Time Frame: During the 24h of mechanical ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+
The patient-ventilator asynchronies will be assessed by the asynchronie index (number of asynchronies / number of respiratory cycles). The number of asynchronies will be assessed by the investigator, on the records of the pression curves and the respirator outputs.
During the 24h of mechanical ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+
Ventilatory parameters
Time Frame: During the 24h of mechanical ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+
The aeration and pulmonary ventilation will be assessed by electrical impedance (PulmoVista®500, Drager, Suisse).
During the 24h of mechanical ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+
Sleep pattern
Time Frame: During 24h of mechanical ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+
During 24h of mechanical ventilation in NAVA and in PAV+
