Withdrawal of Non-invasive Ventilation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients With Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure

NCT01523470 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Summary

The investigators design a pilot randomised, single-centred, controlled trial to compare different withdrawal methods of Non-invasive ventilation. Our study aims at comparing stepwise withdrawal of Non-invasive ventilation versus immediate withdrawal of Non-invasive ventilation. The primary endpoint is to compare the rate of success between two withdrawal methods. The investigators define success as no recurrence of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure or restitution of Non-invasive ventilation within 48 hours after NIV is stopped. The secondary endpoints include time to recurrence of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure measured from the time of randomisation, the total days of Non-invasive ventilation use and the days of hospitalisation. Results from this trial will inform design of future randomised trial in this area.

DEVICE

BIPAP Synchrony

BIPAP Synchrony is a machine for non-invasive ventilation for acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in chronic obstructive airway disease exacerbation. It is a temporary measure. It is proven to be effective and reduce mortality and intubation in COAD exacerbation. However, the method of withdrawal of the machine remained controversial.
