Patient-Ventilator Interactions in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) Under Non-Invasive Ventilation

NCT01180439 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2010-08-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in severe hypercapnic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) may be associated - during sleep - with recurrent episodes of patient ventilatory asynchrony, which in turn may affect quality of sleep, efficacy of ventilation and comfort of nocturnal NIV.Polysomnography (PSG) under NIV is necessary to detect these events.

Adjusting ventilator settings according to respiratory events detected by PSG with NIV may improve quality of sleep, efficacy of ventilation and comfort of nocturnal NIV.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Adjustment of ventilator settings (device)

Decrease in pressure support, increase in respiratory back-up rate, increase in expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) to counteract effect of PEEPi, and adjustment of cycling (at higher percentage of peak inspiratory flow)
