Stopping and Preventing Epileptic Seizures Using a Partial Rebreathing Mask

NCT01657084 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2016-05-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

By enabling a partial rebreathing of expired gas, a moderate respiratory acidosis is induced, without causing hypoxia in the patient.

Based on the scientific literature on the subject, the study hypothesis is that the fall in body pH will be able to stop and/or prevent epileptic brain activity.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

CDA Mask

The CDA (Carbon Dioxide Accumulation) mask effectuates an increase in the inspired CO2 fraction, while allowing an adequate supply of fresh air to the patient.

DEVICE

Dummy mask

The dummy mask is similar in appearance to the treatment mask, but causes only a negligible change in blood gases
