About this study

Official title: Impact of Noninvasive Ventilation With Two Levels of Pressure on Exercise Tolerance in Subjects With Heart Failure: Randomized and Controlled Clinical Trial.

Introduction: Dyspnea and fatigue determine exercise intolerance in heart failure (HF) subjects, hampering performance in activities of daily living. In this context, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been used to minimize such impairment, increasing functional capacity Aim: To evaluate the impact of NIV on exercise performance in HF individuals. Methods: A randomized crossover clinical trial with allocation concealment consisted of two experimental phases: NIV and control, 7 days apart of each other. During NIV phase, 30 minutes of bi-level ventilation was performed. Any type of ventilator support was offered during control phase. Functional capacity was assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill.

What participants receive

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

  • noninvasive ventilationOther

    Ventilatory support with bilevel positive pressure was held for 30 minutes with the volunteer sitting comfortably. A fan with two pressure levels (Vivo 40 Bi-Level, General Electric Company), which was attached to the face of the individual through a face Macara ( Respironics), was initially adopted one of 15 cmH2O IPAP and EPAP was used 5 cmH2O, making admissible pressure of 10 cm H2O, where the IPAP would be increased, subject to the comfort of the patient until the patient reached a tidal volume of 6-8 ml / kg, not exceeding the maximum of 20 cmH2O for IPAP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test

    Cardiopulmonary exercise testing ( CPET ) was performed with symptom-limited ramp protocol (Silva et al . , 2003 ) treadmill ( Centurium 300 Micromed, Brazil ) through ErgoPC Elite ® software associated with electrocardiogram ( Micromed , Brazil ) with 12 channels . The test was performed under standard conditions of temperature, pressure and humidity ( STPD ) , breath-by - breath, being voluntary breathing in a face mask leak during exercise . Before each test the calibration of the equipment for pressure and gas volume was carried out. To ensure that patients reached the maximum effort during the examination were considered tests where patients present a respiratory exchange ratio ( R) ≥ 1.1 ( ARENA , et al 2011) .

    Measured: Seven days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing noninvasive ventilation in people with Heart Failure, run by Universidade Federal de Pernambuco at 1 site in Brazil.

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 6 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 12 Mar 2014. 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 Brazil. 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?

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (time frame: Seven days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02085122, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 12 Mar 2014.
