About this study

The goal of this study is to compare two different modes of noninvasive ventilation in hypercapnic respiratory failure. The investigators will compare AVAPS and BIPAP S/T and hypothesize that AVAPS will result in a decreased length of stay in the ICU or on telemetry. Currently, noninvasive ventilation is the standard of care for hypercapnic respiratory failure. However, the most effective mode for patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure is unclear.

Read the detailed description
  1. Overall Study Design and Plan

This is a single center, randomized trial that will include a total of 100 adult subjects aged 18 or older with hypercapnic respiratory failure of all etiologies (i.e. "all comers"). The investigators will randomize patients in a single-blinded (patient blinded) fashion to BIPAP S/T or AVAPS during the duration of their hospitalization. The investigators will assess ABG at baseline, 1 hour after initial placement on BIPAP S/T or AVAPS, and between hours 24-48 of use. The investigators will record the pre-NIV pH and PaCO2, post-NIV pH and PaCO2, length of hospital stay in the medical ICU or telemetry unit, days on NIV, need for intubation (if occurred), transition to medical ICU care in patients who were initially admitted to telemetry, and in-hospital mortality. All collected laboratory data are already done as part of usual care for all patients placed on NIV when a patient is on the telemetry unit or medical ICU. The groups will undergo stratified randomization based on whether they are initially admitted to medical ICU or medical telemetry. Patients from medical ICU or telemetry units will be randomized to one of the following arms:

Arm 1: AVAPS mode Arm 2 2: BIPAP S/T mode

Being tested
Average Volume-Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS), Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure Spontaneous Timed (BIPAP S/T)

What participants receive

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

  • Average Volume-Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS)Device

    A setting on noninvasive ventilator that allows setting of maximum and minimum inspiratory pressure and sets a target tidal volume. The inspiratory pressure varies breath to breath to ensure pre-set tidal volume is delivered.

  • Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure Spontaneous Timed (BIPAP S/T)Device

    A setting on noninvasive ventilator that allows setting of inspiratory pressure, inspiratory time, expiratory pressure, and backup rate to deliver variable tidal volumes.

What is being measured

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

  1. ICU length of stay of telemetry length of stay

    In patients admitted to the medical ICU, the primary endpoint is ICU length of stay. This will be the number of days a patient is admitted from day 1 of admission until the day of discharge. In patients admitted to medical telemetry unit, the outcome is telemetry length of stay. This will be the number of days a patient is admitted from day 1 of admission until the day of discharge.

    Measured: within one week of hospital discharge (5-7 days)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Difference in PaCO2 value with NIV

    Change in paCO2 on ABG (paCO2 before and after NIV use, measured as a numerical value in mmHg)

    Measured: within 24-48 hours after noninvasive ventilation

  2. Time to normalization of pH

    Time to normalization of pH (hours)

    Measured: at the time of hospital discharge (an average of 5-7 days)

  3. Normalization of pH

    Return to normal range of pH as defined by the laboratory normal values (Binary measure)

    Measured: at the time of hospital discharge (an average of 5-7 days)

  4. Days on NIV

    Days on noninvasive ventilation

    Measured: within one week of hospital discharge (5-7 days)

  5. Need for intubation

    Need for intubation

    Measured: within one week of hospital discharge (5-7 days)

  6. Need for ICU stay

    Need for ICU stay (if disposition changed from telemetry unit)

    Measured: within one week of hospital discharge (5-7 days)

  7. Subgroup analysis (logistic regression or p-value) comparing outcomes 1- ICU or telemetry length of stay based on the underlying cause of hypercapnic respiratory failure

    We will perform subgroup analysis of each cause of hypercapnic respiratory failure (such as COPD, pulmonary edema, altered mental status, etc) for these outcome- for 1. ICU or telemetry length of stay. We will use either logistic regression model or p-value to determine the difference for each subgroup. The results will be reported as difference between groups with statistical significance.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  8. Subgroup analysis (logistic regression or p-value) comparing outcome 2- difference in paCO2 reported as difference between groups (with p-value and/or standard deviation)

    We will perform subgroup analysis of each cause of hypercapnic respiratory failure (such as COPD, pulmonary edema, altered mental status, etc) for outcome 2- difference in PaCO2. We will use either logistic regression model or p-value to determine the difference for each subgroup. The results will be reported as difference between groups with statistical significance.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  9. Subgroup analysis (logistic regression or p-value) comparing outcome 4- time to normalization of pH reported as difference between groups (with p-value and/or standard deviation)

    We will perform subgroup analysis of each cause of hypercapnic respiratory failure (such as COPD, pulmonary edema, altered mental status, etc) for outcome 4- time to normalization of pH.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  10. Subgroup analysis (logistic regression or p-value) comparing outcome 5- days on NIV reported as difference between groups (with p-value and/or standard deviation)

    We will perform subgroup analysis of each cause of hypercapnic respiratory failure (such as COPD, pulmonary edema, altered mental status, etc) for outcome 5- days on NIV.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  11. Subgroup analysis (logistic regression or p-value) comparing outcome 6- need for intubation reported as difference between groups (with p-value and/or standard deviation)

    We will perform subgroup analysis of each cause of hypercapnic respiratory failure (such as COPD, pulmonary edema, altered mental status, etc) for outcome 6- need for intubation.

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

Contact Sara Velichkovikj ((212)-434-4087, svelichkovik@northwell.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ICU length of stay of telemetry length of stay (time frame: within one week of hospital discharge (5-7 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
