About this study

Official title: What do built-in Softwares in Home Ventilators Tell us? An Observational Study of 150 Patients on Home Ventilation

Home bi-level positive pressure ventilators are equipped with built-in softwares which measure and record specific items such as tidal volume, total ventilation, leaks, respiratory rate, cycles triggered by the patient. These items have not to date been described in a large group of patients under home mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

Observational study of patients under home positive pressure mechanical ventilation, in a stable condition.

Data recorded by ventilator software is downloaded by specialized nurses during elective home visits, as well as spirometry, results of recent pulse oximetry, ventilator settings, diagnosis, and basic anthropometric data.

Items recorded by ventilator software are: tidal volume, total ventilation, apnea and hypopnea index, leaks, percentage of inspiratory cycles triggered by ventilator, spontaneous and back-up respiratory rates.

Results are reported by diagnostic group. Statistical analysis (univariate and multivariate) aims to determine which variables are related to unintentional leaks, and whether ventilator settings differ significantly between diagnostic groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of data downloaded from ventilator software by diagnostic category

    Analysis of data provided by ventilator software during elective home visits by specialized nurses in stable patients under home ventilation. Data includes all ventilator parameters, leaks, tidal volume, total ventilation, respiratory rate, % of cycles triggered by the patient, apnea-hypopnea index, and compliance. Age, gender, BMI, spirometry, type of mask and pulse oximetry are also available. The analysis will describe ventilatory patterns and ventilator settings as a function of diagnosis, as well as factors related to importance of leaks (age, interface, ventilator settings).

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventilation, run by Ligue Pulmonaire Genevoise at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 0 inclusion and 4 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 9 Jul 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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?

Analysis of data downloaded from ventilator software by diagnostic category (time frame: one day). 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 9 Jul 2010.
