Trial summary

This study evaluates the difference between Non Invasive Ventilation with Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NIV-NAVA) and Conventional Non Invasive Ventilation with Pressure Support (PS) or Pressure Control (PC).

About this study

Official title: Non-Invasive Ventilation With Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist vs NIV Pressure Support or Pressure Control in Treatment of Patients With Acute Respiratory Insufficiency. A Prospective, Randomised, Single Blinded, Crossover Pilot Study

This study evaluates the difference between Non Invasive Ventilation with Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NIV-NAVA) and Conventional Non Invasive Ventilation with Pressure Support (PS) or Pressure Control (PC). All the patients are ventilated in each mode for 4 hours. Afterwards they will be subjected to a semi-structured interview where they will be asked to compare the two modes. The hypothesis is that NIV-NAVA will correct patients power of Hydrogen (pH), PaCO2 og PaO2 more quickly than NIV-PS and NIV-NAVA is more comfortable for the patients.

Read the detailed description

Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA) is a ventilation mode where the diaphragm is controlling the amount of ventilatory assistance proportionally through a nasogastric tube containing electrodes which are sending the electrical activities of the diaphragm (Eadi) to the ventilator.

Whereas Conventional ventilation modes like Pressure support or Pressure Control are dependent on the pressure drop or flow reversal to initiate assist delivered to the patient. This is last step of the signal chain leading to inhalation and is subject to disturbances such as intrinsic positive expiratory end pressure (PEEP), hyperinflation and leakage.

What participants receive

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

  • NIV-NAVAOther

    Cross-over study where participants are randomized to start with either NIV-NAVA or NIV-PS/PC for 4 hours, followed by another 4 hours with the other arm.

  • NIV-PS/PCOther

    Cross-over study where participants are randomized to start with either NIV-NAVA or NIV-PS/PC for 4 hours, followed by another 4 hours with the other arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time for normalizing of Power of Hydrogen (pH) in arterial blood gases. Normal pH frame 7.35-7.45.

    Measured: 8 hours

  2. Time for normalizing of Partial pressure of Oxygen (pO2) in arterial blood gases. Normal frame for pO2 7-14,4 (or to the usual level for the patient).

    Measured: 8 hours

  3. Time for normalizing Carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2) in arterial blood gases. Normal frames pCO2 4,7-6,4 (or to the usual level for the patient).

    Measured: 8 hours

  4. Electrical activity of the diaphragm (Eadi). Reduction in respiratory work assessed by Eadi (in percentage).

    Measured: 8 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient comfort

    There will be conducted a semi-interview on the subjects. They will be asked:

    If they felt any difference in breathing between the two modes. If yes, what was the difference? Which method did you prefer? And why? Do you have any comments?

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Insufficiency and Acute Respiratory Insufficiency, run by Vejle Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 Jul 2017. 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 Denmark. 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?

Time for normalizing of Power of Hydrogen (pH) in arterial blood gases. Normal pH frame 7.35-7.45. (time frame: 8 hours). The study lists 4 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 12 Jul 2017.
