About this study

Official title: Study of Pressure Support Under Non-invasive Ventilation in the Early Diagnosis of Left Ventricular Failure During Acute Exaverbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Left ventricular failure (LVF) is a common cause of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).

This association is frequently underestimated with regard to the difficulty of clinical diagnosis .

The investigators expect that the application of pressure support under NIV could be useful in this issue.

Read the detailed description

Acute heart failure (AHF) is a common cause of COPD exacerbation however its role is very often underestimated. Until now, the use of echocardiography and some invasive hemodynamic exploration techniques such as the Swan-ganz catheter has been stated as reference. Other noninvasive diagnostic methods have been studied, such as systolic time intervals and Valsalva maneuver, but their application still difficult in patients with COPD exacerbation, especially in emergency department (ED) settings. the study aimed to evaluate the performance of a new diagnostic technique based on the measurement of the PAR using non invasive ventilation (NIV) for the early identification of left ventricular failure (LVF) in patients presenting to the ED with acute COPD exacerbation

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • non invasive ventilationDiagnostic test

    Also called NIV

    invasive mechanical ventilation session in the BIPAP Mode with a pressure support (PS) level of 5cmH2O, a positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) level of 5 cmH2O and an inspiratory fraction of oxygen (FiO2) allowing a pulse saturation (SpO2) of at least 92% for a one minute and followed by an increase of the PS level to 30cmH2O.The plethysmographic PAR (PAR) was calculated based on the following formula: PARpleth= PP30 / PP5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Heart Failure and COPD Exacerbation, run by University of Monastir at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 2 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 27 May 2022. 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 Tunisia. 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?

left ventricular dysfunction (time frame: 24 hours). 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 NCT05189119, 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 27 May 2022.
