About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Carbon Dioxide Rebreathing During Exercise Assisted by Non-invasive Ventilation

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether CO2 rebreathing occurs in healthy subjects or patients with COPD ventilated during exercise assisted by the single-limb circuit with a plateau exhalation valve at a given inspiratory positive airway pressure and a minimal level of expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) and whether there is a potential threshold for predicting CO2 rebreathing.

Read the detailed description

Non-invasive ventilation circuit consists of single-limb tubing for inspiration and expiration, including a plateau exhalation valve. As exhaled gases was vented out the plateau exhalation valve at a constant rate, during exercise, with the increase of exhalation flow, single-limb circuit with a plateau exhalation valve might cause carbon dioxide(CO2) rebreathing. Therefore, our aim in the present study was to evaluate whether CO2 rebreathing occurs in COPD patients ventilated during exercise assisted by the single-limb circuit with a plateau exhalation valve and estimate a potential threshold for predicting CO2 rebreathing.

Study groups in NCT02655484
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
COPD patientsOtherOxygen was delivered to the face mask by a tube at a constant rate (5L/min) to keep the fingertip oxygen saturation at 90% or above. Ventilatory assistance was delivered using a BiPAP® Vision® ventilator (Respironics, Murrysville, Pennsylvania, USA) in BiPAP mode applied via a tightly fitting full face mask (Curative, Suzhou, China). A symptom-limited cycle exercise test was performed while assisted by non-invasive ventilation (NIV). All measurements were recorded at inspiratory pressure of 14 cmH2O, expiratory pressure of 4 cmH2O during rest and exercise. Breathing pattern, mean exhalation flow, mean plateau exhalation valve flow, the mean inspiratory fraction of CO2 (tidal FiCO2) reinsufflated from the circuit between the mask and the exhalation valve was measured for each breath.

What is being measured

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

  1. mean exhalation valve flow

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. mean exhalation flow

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

  2. mean inspiratory fraction of CO2 for each tidal volume

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

  3. fraction of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

  4. inspiratory time

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

  5. expiratory time

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

  6. respiratory rate

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

  7. inspiratory tidal volume

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

  8. expiratory tidal volume

    Measured: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing BiPAP® Vision® ventilator("Ventilator", "Philips Respironics™ BiPAP® Vision®" ) in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease at 1 site in China.

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 7 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 18 Jul 2016. 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 China. 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?

mean exhalation valve flow (time frame: Measurements were collected continuously throughout a symptom-limited cycle exercise test (test lasts for about 8-12 min) while subjects breathed through the full face mask. Analyses were made breath by breath during the whole test process.). 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 18 Jul 2016.
