About this study

Official title: Clinical Impact of Patient Ventilator Asynchrony in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Failure on Long-term Ventilation : a Prospective, Monocentric, Open-label Epidemiological Study

The investigator wish to carry out this study to explore the link between patient-ventilator asynchrony with the efficiency and tolerance of NIV but also the quality of life in patients with chronic respiratory failure on long-term ventilation.

Read the detailed description

Chronic respiratory failure (CRF) is an advanced stage of many respiratory diseases marked by an inability of the respiratory system to ensure vital gas exchange. It affects approximately 3.6 million people in France.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) remains the reference treatment in hypercapnic respiratory failure because it reduces inspiratory muscles's work and promotes alveolar ventilation.

The establishment of the NIV is carried out most of the time following an episode of acute decompensation revealing an underlying CRF. It is carried out and supervised in hospital departments to optimize the understanding and adherence of the patient to his illness and his treatment.

Thus, monitoring is a key to measure the tolerance and effectiveness of ventilation. Classically, it is based on multi-year medical consultations, blood gases and nocturnal oximetry. In recent years, the reading of detailed data from software integrated into NIV machines has been increasingly used in current practice in association with the monitoring tools already recommended. It provides additional detailed information on compliance, leaks, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), obstructive events and asynchrony between the patient and their ventilator.

Many patient-ventilator asynchronies have been described in studies with a negative impact on the quality of ventilation, the quality of sleep under NIV and an increased risk of mortality. However, not all asynchronies have the same consequences and are not all felt by the patient

What participants receive

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

  • Transcutaneous CapnographyDevice

    Transcutaneous Capnography will be realized at patient home to monitoring nocturnal concentration of carbon dioxide during nocturnal sleeping ventilation

Receives: Device: Transcutaneous Capnography

What is being measured

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

  1. Ventilation's efficiency/tolerance

    Presence of a significant rate of patient-ventilator asynchrony when reading the ventilation curves of the NIV machine data.

    Measured: Up to 14 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Estimation of quality of life with non-invasive ventilation

    Estimation of perceived quality of life through the S3-Non Invasive Ventilation questionnaire (scale from 0 to 4 ; 0 being the worst outcome)

    Measured: Up to 14 days

  2. Estimation of quality of sleep with non-invasive ventilation

    Estimation of perceived quality of sleep through the Epworth sleepiness scale (scale from 0 to 3 ; 3 being the worst outcome)

    Measured: Up to 14 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Respiratory Failure and Non-invasive Ventilation, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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 4 Mar 2025. 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 France. 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?

Ventilation's efficiency/tolerance (time frame: Up to 14 days). 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 4 Mar 2025.
