The Effects of Airtrapping on Sleep and Breathing in Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) in COPD

February 8, 2019 updated by: Georg Nilius, Institut für Pneumologie Hagen Ambrock eV

German: Einfluss Von Airtrapping Auf Atmung Und Schlaf Bei Nichtinvasiver Beatmung (NIV) Von COPD Patienten

15 COPD patients will be surveyed in this prospective randomized crossover pilot study concerning non invasive ventilation. Patients will be treated over 2 nights in randomized order with Ventimotion2 (Weinmann) with and without Airtrap Control under Polysomnography (PSG) surveillance including transcutaneous pCO2 measurement. The sleep quality is judged by evaluating the PSG and pCO2 values over night.

Target parameters are respiratory rate, sleep quality and influence of Airtrap Control on pCO2 values over night.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: bilevel ventilation BIPAP ST
one night, BIPAP ST ventilation with individually optimised pressure parameters and supplemental oxygen if necessary.
non invasive ventilation, individually titrated for each patient, if necessary combined with oxygen, to improve hypercapnic respiratory failure.
Other Names:
  • Ventimotion 2
Experimental: BIPAP ST plus Airtrap
one night, BIPAP ST ventilation with "Airtrap control", same pressure parameters and oxygen.
non invasive ventilation, individually titrated for each patient, if necessary combined with oxygen, to improve hypercapnic respiratory failure.
Other Names:
  • Ventimotion 2

Addional to the individally titrated BiPAP ventilation parameters the function "AirTrap Control" is added.

AirTrap Control helps to prevent dynamic hyperinflation and makes it possible for VENTImotion 2 to automatically regulate to the best frequency and expiration time.

Other Names:
  • Ventimotion 2, Weinmann

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
breathing frequency
Time Frame: 2 nights
breathing frequency measured with the flow signal of a polysomnography during non invasive ventilation over night
2 nights

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
mean pCO2 level
Time Frame: 2 nights
mean pCO2 level over night measured with a transcutanous pCO2 monitor (TOSCA)
2 nights

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sleep efficiency
Time Frame: 2 nights
Sleep efficiency is defined by the relation of "time in bed" to "total sleep time" in the overnight polysomnography protocol
2 nights
