About this study

Official title: Respiratory Physiology Measurements Under Transnasal High Flow Therapy in Patients With Tracheostoma After Long Term Ventilation

The aim of this study is to gain knowledge about effects of high flow transnasal insufflation on various breathing parameters like intratracheal pressure conditions, CO2 elimination, breathing frequency and tidal volume.

Read the detailed description

Ten patients, who are supplied with a tracheostomy stent (placeholder) for reinsertions after long term ventilation will be treated for a short time during the day with the nasal high flow system AIRVO at different flow rates (15, 30, 45L/min) to estimate possible long term implications of high flow treatment.

Respiration is measured by impedance plethysmography with a calibrated belt system (Respitrace, VIASYS). Pressure and end tidal CO2 concentration is measured inside of the placeholder.

The order of the high flow rates (15, 30, 45L/min) is randomized; each flow rate is measured for 15 minutes. A wash out time of ten minutes is planned after each phase. In this time the patient breathes his individual oxygen flow rate with attention to the oxygen saturation, which should not exceed 96%. Transcutaneous PCO2 and SpO2 is monitored with TOSCA during the study.

What participants receive

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

  • High flow therapyProcedure or surgery

    Also called AIRVO (Fisher and Paykel)

    Each patient is treated with nasal high flow at different flow rates (15, 30, 45L/min). The order of flow rates is randomized. Each flow rate will be used for 15 minutes. A wash out time of ten minutes is planned after each phase, during which the patient uses his his individual oxygen flow.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intratracheal pressure conditions

    The effects of high flow transnasal insufflation on intratracheal pressure conditions is measured with the Hans Rudolph Inc. pressure amplifier and continuously recorded breath by breath.

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Intratracheal endtidal CO2 concentration

    The effects of high flow transnasal insufflation on endtidal CO2 concentration is measured with the AD Instruments gas analyser and continuously recorded breath by breath.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Breathing frequency and tidal volume

    The effects of high flow transnasal insufflation on breathing frequency and tidal volume is measured with the Viasys Respitrace calibrated belt system and continuously recorded breath by breath.

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High flow therapy in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Institut für Pneumologie Hagen Ambrock eV at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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 24 Mar 2015. 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 Germany. 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?

Intratracheal pressure conditions (time frame: 2 hours). 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 24 Mar 2015.
