Trial summary

Acute dyspnea after use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a common phenomenon in patients with COPD and emphysema. This trial aims to document incidence and severity of augmented dyspnea in patients with long term NIV therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Acquisition and Evaluation of Augemented Dyspnea After Use of Non-invasive Ventilation in Patients With COPD and Empysema (Deventilation Syndrome)

Acute dyspnea after use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a common phenomenon in patients with COPD and emphysema. This trial aims to document incidence and severity of augmented dyspnea in patients with long term NIV therapy. These findings may help in understanding the pathomechanisms that lead to post-NIV dyspnea and thus give way to potential therapy schemes.

Read the detailed description

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a widespread therapy option for patients with hypercapnic failure due to COPD and emphysema. Augmented dyspnea after use of NIV is commonly found and leads not only to high patient discomfort, but can also be associated with acute respiratory failure. This monocentric obervation trial includes patients with COPD III°-IV° (GOLD) and emphysema and an established long term NIV therapy. During their routine inpatient follow-up, we will extend the routine examinations, focussing on the vulnerable first hour after the nocturnal use of NIV. This includes monitoring of breath rate, heart rate, pulsoxymetry, trancutaneous CO2, blood pressure and capillary blood gas analysis. Sonographic measurement of diaphragm movement and thickness will be complemented. Subjective dyspnea will be documented by use of the BORG scale.

By collecting this data, we hope to understand the pathomechanisms causing augmented dyspnea after NIV and thus provide information for therapeutical concepts to prevent it.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Obstructive Chronic Bronchitis, run by Felix JF Herth.

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 12 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 21 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Contact Mavi D Schellenberg, Dr.med. (00496221-3968027, mavi.schellenberg@med.uni-heidelberg.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence and severity of acute dyspnea after use of non-invasive Ventilation in COPD and emphysema (time frame: May 2018). 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 21 Oct 2016.
