Electrical Activity of the Diaphragm During the Weaning Period

NCT01411722 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2013-08-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study aims to assess 1) the electrical activity of the diaphragm in mechanically ventilated patients during weaning from mechanical ventilation. 2) Whether the electrical activity of the diaphragm may predict the weaning outcome

Conditions

  • Respiratory Insufficiency

Interventions

DEVICE

Neurally adjust ventilatory assist (NAVA) and a nasogastric tube to measure the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi catheter)

Nava is a new ventilatory mode which delivers pressure in proportion of the the Electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi), a reflection of the neural respiratory output. EAdi will be obtained through a nasogastric tube with a multiple array of electrodes placed at its distal end. Correct positioning of the EAdi catheter is assured by means of a specific function of the ventilator (''EAdi catheter positioning''). The EAdi signal is processed according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommendations and filtered by algorithms designed to provide the highest possible signal-to-noise ratio
