About this study

Official title: Comparative Effects on Diaphragmatic Electrical Activity and Respiratory Pattern of Various Levels of Assistance in Pressure Support and in Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist

Exploration of the effects on diaphragmatic electrical activity (EMG) and on respiratory pattern of various level of assistance delivered by the ventilator in intubated spontaneously breathing patients in pressure support (PS) and in Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) by step by step increasing of the level of assistance. Flow, airway pressure, transesophageal EMG signal and transcutaneous EMG signal will be recorded.

Read the detailed description

Exploration of the effects on diaphragmatic electrical activity (EMG) and on respiratory pattern of various level of assistance delivered by the ventilator in intubated spontaneously breathing patients in pressure support (PS) and in Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) by step by step increasing of the level of assistance. Flow, airway pressure, transesophageal EMG signal and transcutaneous EMG signal will be recorded.

Aims of the study:

  1. To study the electrical diaphragmatic signal variations and the ventilatory profile variations under various level of assistance (delivered by the ventilator) in PS and in NAVA in intubated spontaneously breathing patients
  2. To compare a non invasive technique of diaphragmatic electrical activity recording under various levels of assistance with the invasive reference technique

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Titration of various level of assistance in people with Respiratory Failure, run by Prof. Philippe Jolliet 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 1 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2017. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Difficulties to enroll patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Electrical diaphragmatic signal variations and ventilatory profile variations under various level of assistance. 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 8 May 2017.
