About this study

Official title: Effect of Auto-Trilevel Ventilation on Patients With Overlap Syndrome

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two diseases that often coexist and are called overlap syndrome(OS). Compared to single OSAS, OS patients are more susceptible to serious hypoxia and hypercapnia especially during sleep, and are much more likely to result in pulmonary hypertension and cor-pulmonal.

With a more flexible expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP), auto-trilevel ventilation may be superior to fixed bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation in both removing residual obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea events and correcting hypercapnia simultaneously. The overall purpose of this study is to compare the curative effects between fixed BiPAP and auto-trilevel ventilations on OS patients.

Read the detailed description

The contradiction in treatment for overlap syndrome is how to improve hypercapnia because of narrower difference between inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) and expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP), and meanwhile to eliminate apnea and popnea events which may easily occur at the end of expiration For ordinary Bipap ventilator. If the IPAP is set to higher, the patients may feel discomfort, if the pressure difference between IPAP and EPAP is too narrow or the expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) too high, hypercapnia may occur. If the EPAP is too low, redusual apnea and hypopnea event may become common.

Auto-trilevel ventilation, with a lower airway pressure at the beginning of expiration to prevent hypercapnia and a higher airway pressure at the end of expiration to prevent residual apnea events, should be able to provide a novel ventilation mode with a higher efficacy and lower average airway pressure for overlap syndrome. To prove the hypothesis, comparison is made between ordinary BiPAP and auto-Trilevel ventilation modes during treatment for patients with overlap syndrome.

In this study, the investigators compare the changes of related indexes including apnea hypopnea index、minimal pulse oxygen saturation、arousal index, sleep quality,PaCO2 and sleepiness scores) before and on treatment. Meanwhile, curative effects will be compared between BiPAP and auto-Trilevel ventilation modes. The investigators will analyze the changes and then confirm our hypothesis.

What participants receive

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

  • BiPAP ventilation, auto-trilevel ventilationDevice

    Also called bi-level postive airway preesure ventilation;, auto-trilevel ventilation

    Noninvasive ventilation including fixed BiPAP ventilation and auto-trilevel ventilation. Using the same IPAP, treatment include one night with BiPAP ventilation mode 1, one night with BiPAP ventilation mode 2 and one night with auto-trilevel ventilation mode. Each treatment last 8 hours for each night.

What is being measured

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

  1. different effects between BiPAP and auto-Trilevel ventilators on OS

    The overall purpose of this study is to determine the effects of auto-Trilevel ventilation on patients with overlap syndrome by comparison with BiPAP ventilation. The following parameters are compared such as apnea hypopnea index, lowest SPO2, arousal index, sleep efficiency, PaCO2, daytime sleepiness and so on.

    Measured: Participants will be observed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BiPAP ventilation, auto-trilevel ventilation in people with Overlap Syndrome, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 7 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 27 Nov 2012. 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 China. 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?

different effects between BiPAP and auto-Trilevel ventilators on OS (time frame: Participants will be observed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 1 weeks). 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 27 Nov 2012.
