Trial summary

NAVA used the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) to initiate and deliver in proportion of an inspiratory assistance. During inspiration, EAdi signal occurred earlier than airflow or pressure variations in the airway. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Mechanical Ventilation With NAVA and PSV on Inspiratory Muscle Workload and Synchrony in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

NAVA used the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) to initiate and deliver in proportion of an inspiratory assistance. During inspiration, EAdi signal occurred earlier than airflow or pressure variations in the airway. The investigators hypothesized that NAVA improved patient-ventilator synchrony and reduced inspiratory workload as compared with pressure support ventilation delivered at two different cycling criteria (25 and 50 %).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NAVADevice

    Also called Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist

    Assisted mechanical ventilation according to the electrical activity of the diaphragm recorded with a 16-FR naso-gastric tube mounted with EMG electrodes

  • Expiratory trigger (ET)Other

    Varying the cycling criterion according to the percentage of peak inspiratory flow

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Inspiratory muscle workload as reflected by the diaphragmatic Pressure Time Product (PTPdi)

    Measured: 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Ineffective inspiratory effort

    Measured: 5 minutes

  2. Dynamic intrinsic PEEP

    Measured: 5 minutes

  3. Arterial blood gases

    Measured: 20 minutes

  4. Trigger delay

    Measured: 5 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NAVA and Expiratory trigger (ET) in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Hôpital Européen Marseille at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inspiratory muscle workload as reflected by the diaphragmatic Pressure Time Product (PTPdi) (time frame: 5 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Sep 2019.
