About this study

Official title: Effects of High-intensity Versus Low-intensity Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to investigate the effects of high-intensity noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), as compared with low-intensity NPPV, on hypercapnia, consciousness, inspiratory muscle effort, dyspnea, NPPV tolerance, inflammatory response, adverse events and other outcomes in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Being tested
High-intensity NPPV, Low-intensity NPPV

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • High-intensity NPPVDevice

    In the high-intensity NPPV group, patients will undergo pressure-limited NPPV (eg, NPPV in spontaneous/timed mode) at a higher IPAP level. IPAP is initially set at 10 cmH2O and continuously adjusted by increments and decrements of 1-2 cmH2O (typically ranging between 20 and 30 cmH2O), according to patients' tolerance, to obtain a tidal volume (VT) of 10-15 mL/kg. IPAP should be increased as much as possible to decrease PaCO2 to a normal level. However, if PaCO2 decreases to less than 35 mmHg, IPAP should be decreased to achieve normocapnia.

  • Low-intensity NPPVDevice

    In the low-intensity NPPV group, patients will undergo pressure-limited NPPV (eg, NPPV in spontaneous/timed mode) with a conventional IPAP level. IPAP is initially set to 10 cmH2O and is continuously adjusted by increments and decrements of 1-2 cmH2O (up to 20 cmH2O), according to patients' tolerance, to obtain a VT of 6-10 mL/kg.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High-intensity NPPV and Low-intensity NPPV in people with Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Beijing Chao Yang Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 May 2022. 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 China. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

PaCO2 measured at 24 hours after enrollment (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04044625, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 May 2022.
