Trial summary

Goal of the study: To show that prehospital NPPV use for COPD decompensation, as compared to only standard medical treatment, might enable a decrease in intubation rate. Primary end point: the rate of endotracheal intubation in the first three hours after randomization. Read more about this study

About this study

Goal of the study: To show that prehospital NPPV use for COPD decompensation, as compared to only standard medical treatment, might enable a decrease in intubation rate.

Primary end point: the rate of endotracheal intubation in the first three hours after randomization.

Secondary en points: rate of endotracheal intubation after third hour, rate of prehospital and ICU mortality, ICU days, effects on clinical parameters (respiratory rate, SpO2, heart rate, arterial blood pressure, consciousness) and arterial blood gases (pH, PaCO2, PaO2), 30 days mortality, delays between first medical contact and in-hospital admission, relation between initial pH level and endotracheal intubation.

Inclusion criteria: Adult patients (>18 years), with GCS≥10, known or suspected COPD and presenting acute respiratory decompensation with respiratory acidosis.

Exclusion criteria: Cardiac or respiratory arrest, upper gastro intestinal tract haemorrhage, shock, serious ventricular arrhythmia, severe sepsis, multiple organ failure, serious cranial-facial trauma, upper airways obstruction, undrained pneumothorax, uncooperative-agitated patients refusing the technique, respiratory distress with bradypnoea < 12/min, pauses gasps repeated bradycardia, intractable vomiting, acute traumatic tetraplegia, persistant hemodynamic instability with PAS<90mmHg, ensuitable environment.

Randomization: Assignment to NPPV group or standard therapy group will be performed at the time of arrival of the SAMU team to the patient, by calling a physician located at the calldispatch center who will connect to the web site of the clinical research unit from Bordeaux university hospital.

Period of study: 25 months (24 months for patients inclusion and 1 month for follow-up).

Number of patients: 199 patients in each group i.e 398 patients (significance level of 5%, power of 80%; 50% expected decrease of intubation rate, i.e. from 20 to 10%).

Main investigator: Dr Pierre-Arnaud Fort, MD, Pôle Urgences-SAMU47-Réanimation, Centre Hospitalier Saint-Esprit - Agen.

Participating centers : 20 SAMU-SMUR corresponding to 19 departments in France.

What participants receive

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

  • Non invasive ventilationOther

    After nebulisation of bronchodilatators and administration of corticosteroid therapy, non invasive positive pressure ventilation will be started out of hospital and continuously in COPD patient with acute respiratory distress and respiratory acidosis, using a facial mask, with initial level of inspiratory pressure at 8 mmHg then according to VTe and/or respiratory rate; expiratory pressure at 4 mmHg then according to persistance of inspiratory work, level of FiO2 for an objective of SpO2 between 88 and 92%. In case of failure, NIV will be stopped and endotracheal intubation realized if indicate.

  • conventional medical treatmentOther

    Conventional medical treatment includes nebulization of bronchodilatators every 15-20 minutes until hospital and corticosteroid therapy. If indicate during out of hospital setting, endotracheale intubation will be realized. After admission in hospital, non invasive ventilation could be started.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Non invasive ventilation and conventional medical treatment in people with Acute Respiratory Failure and Exacerbation of COPD, run by Centre Hospitalier d'Agen.

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 9 inclusion and 20 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact pierre-arnaud fort (+33-0553697093, pierrearnaudf@yahoo.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

rate of endotracheal intubation in the first three hours after randomization (time frame: third hour after randomization). 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 25 Jun 2012.
