About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of an Automated Knowledge-based Computer Driven System (SmartCare/PS-NIV) Designed to Automatically Adapt Pressure Support Level and Expiratory Cycling During Non Invasive Ventilation, a Feasability Study.

Knowledge-based systems were initially developped to automatically adapt pressure support settings during invasive ventilation, and proved to be at least as efficient as experienced clinicians.

Non-invasive ventilation has become the standard of care for patients suffering from acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (ARF)and has reduced the need for endotracheal intubation in these patients, thus reducing their hospital mortality.

NIV success or failure is closely related to the tolerance of NIV treatment, which is tightly correlated to patient-ventilator synchrony. As severe asynchronies frequently occurs during NIV (namely in more than 40% of patients) and as the occurence of asynchronies is related to the use of high pressure support levels, to the presence of leaks and/or to non optimal expiratory trigger settings, very frequent ventilator settings adaptations should allow reducing patient-ventilator asynchronies but require the presence of an experienced clinician at the bedside during NIV treatment.

A computer-driven ventilator settings adaptation has the adavantage of permitting very frequent ventilator settings adaptation whithout requiring the presence of an experienced clinician at the bedside and could possibly improve patient-ventilator interaction.

The aim of the present study is to test the faisability of using the Smartcare NIV computer-driven system to automatically adapt ventilator settings during non invasive ventilation delivered because of acute respiratory failure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibilty of using the Smartcare-NIV system to deliver non-invasive ventilation in case of acute respiratory failure.

    The main aim of the study is to explore the feasibility of using the Smartcare-NIV system to deliver non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in case of acute respiratory failure. Practically, we will describe how the NIV tratment will go on when using the Smartcare system and report how the system automatically adapt the ventilator settings.

    Measured: 45 minute NIV-treatment

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Respiratory rate

    Measured: 45 minutes

  2. Minute ventilation

    Measured: 45 minutes

  3. Tidal volumes

    Measured: 45 minutes

  4. Leaks

    Measured: 45 minutes

  5. O2 saturation

    Transcutaneous measurement

    Measured: 45 minutes

  6. Alarms generated by the ventilator

    Measured: 45 minutes

  7. Manual ventilator settings modifications required

    Measured: 45 minutes

  8. Patient-ventilator asynchronies

    Measured: 45 minutes

  9. Blood gas analysis

    Two blood gas analysis will be done, one at the beginning and one at the end of the 45-minyte NIV treatment.

    Measured: 45 minutes

  10. Patient comfort

    Patient comfort will be evaluated usuing a visual analogic scale graduated between 0 and 10.

    Measured: 45 minutes

  11. Percentage of time spent in a predifined comfort zone.

    The comfort zone will be defined as respiratory rate between 14 and 29 breaths/minunte and tidal volume between 5 and 10 ml/ kg IBW

    Measured: 45 minutes

  12. Heart rate

    Measured: 45 minutes

  13. Blood pressure

    Measured: 45 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SmartCare/PS-NIV Drägerwerk Lübeck Germany in people with Acute Respiratory Failure, run by University of Lausanne Hospitals at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Enough data to conclude). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibilty of using the Smartcare-NIV system to deliver non-invasive ventilation in case of acute respiratory failure. (time frame: 45 minute NIV-treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2017.
