Trial summary

Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes including aerobic exercise training have strong evidence of effectiveness in improving exercise capacity, dyspnoea and HRQL in patients with COPD. Therefore, current guidelines recommend pulmonary rehabilitation, including exercise training, in these patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes including aerobic exercise training have strong evidence of effectiveness in improving exercise capacity, dyspnoea and HRQL in patients with COPD. Therefore, current guidelines recommend pulmonary rehabilitation, including exercise training, in these patients. Non-invasive ventilation(NIV) is increasingly used during exercise training programmes in order to train patients at intensity levels higher than allowed by their clinical and pathophysiological conditions. Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) describes the poor interaction between the patient and the ventilator and is the consequence of the respiratory muscle activity of the patient being opposed to the action of the ventilator.PVA have unfavourable clinical impace on gas exchange, dyspnoea perception, patient comfort and tolerance and reduced adherence to NIV. This study is going to detect whether the PVA will increase when COPD patients exercise with NIV supporingt

What is being measured

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

  1. Asynchrony index

    Asynchrony index is defined as the number of asynchrony events divided by the total respiratory rate computed as the sum of the number of ventilator cycles (triggered or not) and of wasted efforts: asynchrony Index (expressed in percentage) = number of asynchrony events/total respiratory rate (ventilator cycles +wasted efforts) × 100

    Measured: 5 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Severe Respiratory Insufficiency (SRI) Questionnaire

    The SRI Questionnaire has good psychometric properties shown to be valid for chronic hypercapnic COPD patients receiving NIV. It includes 49 items on seven subscales.

    Measured: 5 hours

  2. COPD assessment test

    The COPD Assessment Test is a questionnaire for people with COPD. It is designed to measure the impact of COPD on a person's life, and how this changes over time.

    Measured: 5 hours

  3. Partial pressure of arterial blood carbon dioxide (PaCO2)

    Daytime arterial blood gas samples were taken with patients resting in a sitting position and breathing room air without having used NIV for at least 1 hour.

    Measured: 5 hours

  4. 6-minute walk test

    The 6-minute walk test plays a key role in evaluating functional exercise capacity, assessing prognosis and evaluating response to treatment across a wide range of respiratory diseases

    Measured: 5 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COP and Non-invasive Ventilation, run by Guangzhou Medical University 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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2021. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhenfeng He, MD (8602083062882, zfHe_2019@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Asynchrony index (time frame: 5 hours). 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 23 Feb 2021.
