Deventilation Dyspnea in COPD Patients Using NIV

NCT03503123 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 10

Last updated 2024-05-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has shown to be an effective therapy for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with Chronic Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure (CHRF). However, these COPD patients often report severe dyspnoea after switching off from NIV therapy, which leads to discomfort and distress. Currently, it is not known what causes this deventilation dyspnoea and therefore a possible treatment to prevent deventilation dyspnoea is not available. This study investigates possible mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of deventilation dyspnoea in COPD patients by monitoring the effects of NIV on the patient during an afternoon sleep.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Monitoring physiology with Electrical Impedance Tomography, Electromyography and transcutaneous carbon dioxide measurements.

Both groups get the same exposures: with measure physiology in both groups by using non-invasive measurement techniques. The techniques we use are Electrical Impedance Tomography to determine degree of hyperinflation. We use Electromyography to analyse respiratory drive. We measure transcutaneous carbon dioxide to assess the effects of non-invasive ventilation. Thereby, we will perform lung function tests.
