Trial summary

Before inclusion in the trial. Careful medical history and medication use will be asked. Once included, 5 healthy subjects non-invasive ventilation(V60, Philips, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) will be administered at a level of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 4 cmH2O and without additional inspiratory support.

About this study

Before inclusion in the trial. Careful medical history and medication use will be asked. Once included, 5 healthy subjects non-invasive ventilation(V60, Philips, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) will be administered at a level of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 4 cmH2O and without additional inspiratory support. Inspiratory support will then increase by 2 cmH2O every 2 minutes until 8 cmH2O is achieved for 2 minutes. The energy expenditure is measured using indirect calorimetry (Q-NRG®, Cosmed, Italy). To measure respiratory effort, the reversed RPE-scale was created for the purpose of the study. It uses the validated "rate of perceived exertion" scale (RPE-scale) which was altered by adding a reversed part. This could result in a score of -10 (no respiratory effort) until +10 ( maximal respiratory effort) where 0 represents the basal respiratory condition. Monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output will be done ( Nexfin®, BMEYE, Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

After termination of the study clinical observation by principal investigator or co-investigator will be done for 15 minutes or until all side effects have worn off. If no side effects are observed, subjects will be released.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
non-invasive ventilationExperimentalAll subjects will be submitted to non-invasive ventilation with different settings. During the whole period indirect calorimetry will be performed and haemodynamic parameters will be monitored using a non-invasive device. Reversed combined RPE scale will be asked on a regular base.
Receives: Device: non-invasive ventilation

What is being measured

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

  1. Energy expenditure

    in kcal/day Energy expenditure will be measured using indirect calorimetry during different settings of non invasive ventilation

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. reversed combined rate of perceived exertion scale

    no unit, range: [-10 , +10] based on an existing scale of perceived exertion, a reverse part was added to be able to measure an improvement of respiratory exercise compared to normal state.

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

  2. respiratory rate

    in breaths/min

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

  3. systolic and diastolic bloodpressure

    in mmHg

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

  4. cardiac output

    in liter/min

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

  5. CO2 production of the body ( VCO2)

    in ml/min

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

  6. O2 consumption of the body (VO2)

    in ml/min

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

  7. Respiratory quotient

    no unit

    Measured: during non-invasive ventilation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing non-invasive ventilation in people with Energy Expenditure and Non-invasive Ventilation, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 1 site in Belgium.

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 11 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 3 Aug 2020. 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 Belgium. 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?

Energy expenditure (time frame: during non-invasive ventilation). 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 3 Aug 2020.
