Respiratory Insufficiency Clinical Trial
Official title:
Feasibility of Reducing Respiratory Drive in Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure Using the Through-flow System
Mechanical ventilation can lead to diaphragm and lung injury. During mechanical ventilation, the diaphragm could be completely rested or it could be overworked, either of which may cause diaphragm injury. Mechanical stress and strain applied by mechanical ventilation or by the patient's own respiratory muscles can also cause injury to the lungs. Diaphragm and lung injury are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Throughflow is a novel system that can reduce dead space without the need to increase the tidal ventilation, reducing the ventilatory demands and respiratory drive.
Patients with acute respiratory failure often develop significant diaphragm weakness during mechanical ventilation. Diaphragm weakness is associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and higher risk of death. Clinical data and experimental evidence indicate that the ventilator injures the diaphragm via two opposing mechanisms, disuse and excessive loading. Cessation of diaphragm activity leads to rapid disuse atrophy within hours. On the other hand, high inspiratory loads result in myofibril edema, inflammation and contractile dysfunction. In light of this, studies found that patients with an intermediate level of inspiratory effort, similar to that of healthy subjects breathing at rest, exhibited the shortest duration of ventilation. Arterial CO2 (PaCO2) tension and physiological dead space play an important role in determining the ventilatory requirements and respiratory drive in patients with AHRF. Throughflow (Neurovent) is a novel system that reduces anatomical dead space by providing a constant flow of fresh gas (i.e., gas that is free of CO2) during inspiration in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. By clearing the CO2 that normally remains in the upper airway after exhalation (anatomical dead space), TF can dramatically reduce anatomical dead space without the need to increase the delivered VT. Reducing dead space offers a theoretical benefit in mitigating the mechanisms of lung and diaphragm injury during spontaneous breathing by reducing the ventilation demands to the lungs. Animal studies using the TF have shown extremely promising results, however, the impact of reducing anatomical dead space using the TF on gas exchange, ventilation, and respiratory drive in critically ill patients with AHRF is unknown. ;
