NAVASET: Nava Level Titration Using Comfort Scales

A study testing PSV - pressure support ventilation and Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist in people with Acute Respiratory Failure, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Determining the optimal Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) level remains challenging, and several methods have been suggested. However none of them seems easily utilisable. Thus the investigators propose to test a way of NAVA level titration according to ventilator comfort. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) Levels Titration During Weaning Using Ventilatory Comfort Scales: a Physiological Evaluation

Determining the optimal Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) level remains challenging, and several methods have been suggested. However none of them seems easily utilisable. Thus the investigators propose to test a way of NAVA level titration according to ventilator comfort.

Read the detailed description

Physiological comparison of different levels of ventilator assistance during Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) to evaluate the effect of these on tidal volume, inspiratoy activity, comfort scales.

We propose to evaluate the ability to guide the titration according the patient's comfort scale. The intensity of the breathing sensations will be evaluated using the labeled visual analog scale (Banzett Scale).

What participants receive

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

  • PSV - pressure support ventilationDevice

    Gold standard partial ventilator support: Pressure Support Ventilation performed with Servo-i® ventilator (MAQUET,Critical Care, Sweden). Pressure support ventilator assistance to obtain a tidal volume of 6-8 ml/kg of ideal body weight.

  • Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory AssistDevice

    Partial ventilator support partial ventilation mode (NAVA) performed with Servo-i® ventilator (Maquet,Critical Care, Sweden). Different levels of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist are tested. Stepwise implementation of the NAVA level (steps of 25% ), returning to the " optimal " level between each evaluation (PSV 100%, NAVA 100%, 75%, 50%, 125%, 150%).

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of ventilatory comfort with the physiological parameters when varying the levels of pressure support and Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA)

    To prove the feasibility of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) level titration according to the ventilatory comfort felt by the patient. The ventilatory comfort will be evaluated using the labeled visual analog scale (Banzett scale).

    Measured: 24hr

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Efficiency

    The efficiency will be evaluated by using minute ventilation

    Measured: 24hr

  2. Efficiency

    The efficiency will be evaluated using arterial PCO2.

    Measured: 24hr

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PSV - pressure support ventilation and Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist in people with Acute Respiratory Failure, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 8 May 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of ventilatory comfort with the physiological parameters when varying the levels of pressure support and Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) (time frame: 24hr). 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 2014.
