About this study

Official title: Comparative Effects of Variable Pressure Support, Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) and Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV) on the Variability of the Breathing Pattern and on Patient Ventilator Interaction

Experimental animal data suggest that increasing breathing pattern variability in mechanical ventilation could be beneficial. Variable ventilation can be induced through the following modes: Neurally Adjust Ventilatory Assist (NAVA), Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV) and Variable-Pressure Support Ventilation (V-PSV). These modes have not yet been compared to each other. Pilot observations in our department suggest a feasibility in patients.

The objectives of the study are to compare the impact of PSV, NAVA, PAV and V-PSV on the variability of the breathing pattern, patient-ventilator asynchrony, risk of lung overdistension, gas exchange, and repartition of ventilation.

Read the detailed description

Cross-over, prospective, randomized controlled monocentric trial . Patients on pressure support ventilation will be ventilated with PSV, NAVA, PAV, and V-PSV (in a randomized sequence).

In each mode the level of assistance will be set to achieve a similar tidal volume of 6-8 ml/kg.

The following data will be measured and recorded: airway flow and pressure, electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi), blood gases, electrical impedance tomography, end tidal partial pressure in carbon dioxide (PEtCO2).

Will be calculated: the coefficient of variation (CV, standard deviation (SD)/mean) of the peak pressure (Ppeak), EAdi and of the main descriptors of the breathing pattern, the prevalence of the main patient-ventilator asynchronies, the prevalence of tidal volume (VT) >10ml/kg, ventrodorsal repartition of ventilation and inhomogeneity index, dead space

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Safety from lung overdistension, assessed by the proportion of tidal volumes (VT) >10 ml/kg

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PSV, NAVA, PAV, Variable-PSV in people with Respiratory Failure, run by Association pour le Développement et l'Organisation de la Recherche en Pneumologie et sur le Sommeil 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Dec 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 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?

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?

Coefficient of variation of the tidal volume (VT) (time frame: 1 hour). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 29 Dec 2015.
