Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (pH < 7.35 and PaCO2 >45 mmHg) requiring noninvasive ventilation and with no indication for invasive mechanical ventilation.

Exclusion criteria

  1. Patient with any contra-indication for insertion of nasogastric tube (like recent gastrointestinal bleeding in previous 30 days, esophageal varices)
  2. Patient with any contraindication of noninvasive ventilation (such as hemodynamic instability, active gastrointestinal bleed etc)
  3. Patients with a known neuromuscular, central or peripheral nervous system disorder.
  4. Patient not willing to give consent.

Control(s): Patients receiving pressure support ventilation (NIV-PSV) will act as control

Study design: Randomized interventional study

Dosages of drug: None

Duration of treatment: Till patient improves or requires invasive ventilation.

Brief Methodology Patients of COPD with acute exacerbation will be randomized into two groups (group A and group B) to receive NIV-PSV or NIV-NAVA respectively. A special naso-gastric catheter (EAdi-catheter) will be placed in all patients. In each mode, NIV will be applied using a non-vented oro-nasal mask that will be fitted enough to avoid air leaks. Patients in Group A will receive NIV-PS and Group B will receive ventilation via NIV-NAVA. Pressure support and PEEP levels will be set by the treating physician to achieve a tidal volume (Vt) of 6 to 8 mL/kg of ideal body weight. NAVA level will be adjusted to match peak pressures of NIV-PSV using manufacturer-supplied software. After stabilization, a 30-min period of each NIV trial will be recorded and manually analyzed offline. Subsequent readings will be taken at 2, 6 and at 24 hours and then at 6 hourly interval from day 2 onwards. In each trial, patient-ventilator asynchronies (ineffective efforts, auto triggering, premature cycling, delayed cycling, and double triggering) will be determined on EAdi, airway pressure, and flow signal. The number of each type of asynchrony, defined as the number of events per minute, will be determined for each recording period. The asynchrony index (AI), in percentage, will be calculated as described previously, and an AI >10% will be considered severe asynchrony. Patient comfort level after each mode of ventilation will be assessed by using visual analogue scale. Various clinical, ventilatory and arterial blood gas parameters will be recorded.

Statistical analysis Data will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD), or percentage. Differences in continuous variables between the two groups will be compared using student's t test (or Mann-Whitney U test); while differences in categorical data will be compared using the chi- square test (or Fisher's exact test). A p value of less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neurally Adjusted Ventilator Assist and Pressure support ventilation in people with COPD Exacerbation, run by All India Institute of Medical Sciences at 1 site in India.

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 1 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 Feb 2018. 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 India. 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?

Difference in the number of patient ventilator asynchrony (time frame: Entire period of ventilatory support, an average of 5 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 NCT02912689, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Feb 2018.
