Trial summary

Long-term non-invasive ventilation (LT-NIV) is the main treatment modality for chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.To assess the adequacy of alveolar ventilation during sleep and potential sleep hypoventilation, nocturnal transcutaneous CO2 (PtcCO2) monitoring is necessary.

About this study

Long-term non-invasive ventilation (LT-NIV) is the main treatment modality for chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.To assess the adequacy of alveolar ventilation during sleep and potential sleep hypoventilation, nocturnal transcutaneous CO2 (PtcCO2) monitoring is necessary. There is an increased tendency to monitor patients at home, but there is a lack of robust data comparing the technical success rates between the home and inpatient setting of PtcCO2 monitoring. The primary aim of the current study was to evaluate the rate of successful nocturnal PtcCO2 monitoring in a home setting in a population of patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure receiving LT-NIV. The secondary aim was to compare these data with PtcCO2 registrations performed during regular follow up of a similar population of patients in a hospital setting.

Read the detailed description

Patients scheduled for LT-NIV follow-up at Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål in the time-period January 2020 to December 2022 were prospectively identified. Follow-up monitoring occurred either at home or in the hospital. Two physicians blinded to the location of the monitoring, retrospectively classified the PtcCO2 as successful or unsuccessful, and identified the causes of failure for the latter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Respiratory Failure and Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure, run by University of Oslo at 1 site in Norway.

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 7 inclusion and 0 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 19 Nov 2024. 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 Norway. 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?

Success rate home vs hospital (time frame: January 1st 2020 - December 31st 2022). 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 19 Nov 2024.
