In the present investigation, in 50 COPD with persistent hypercapnia after an acute exacerbation, the investigators want to assess the acceptability of HFNC and its effectiveness in further reducing the level of PaCO2, and to eventually verify the hypothesis, based on previous physiological studies, that the response to HFNC is dependent on the level of baseline hypercapnia and eventually on the presence of overlap syndrome. This latter parameters to eventually calculate the sample size and the target population to perform future definitive randomized long term trials vs NIV.
In this randomized cross over study the investigators will evaluate the effects on gas exchange and patients' tolerance of a new CO2 non rebreathing devices incorporated in the mask vs the traditional mask COPD patients undergoing NIV for an episode of Acute Hypercapnia Respiratory Failure, will be randomized after at least 12 hour of ventilation to 1 h.trial with the usual full face mask or the same mask with the addition of a new CO2 clearance device
For performing transnasal humidified rapid insufflation ventilatory exchange (THRIVE), jaw-thrust maneuver have to maintain to make sure the airway open and the CO2 clearance during apnoea. The objective of present study is to prove that nasopharyngeal airway facilitate THRIVE and no need jaw-thrust maneuver and maintain the similar PO2 and PCO2 during apnoea.
this study evaluates high flow oxygen therapy in addition to non invasive ventilation (NIV) to treat hypercapnic respiratory failure. Between sessions of NIV, half of participants will have high flow nasal cannula while the others will have standard low flow oxygen therapy.
Protocol Summary: 1. Question Does the adjunction of a humidification system to non-invasive ventilation circuit improve sleep quality and comfort of chronic ventilated respiratory insufficient patients? Does it change the efficacy of long-term non invasive ventilation therapy and patient-ventilator interactions? 2. Aims Main aim: The primary endpoint of this study is to objectively evaluate the consequences of a humidification system's adjunction on quality of sleep, 2 months after treatment's beginning. Second aims: The secondary endpoints are to evaluate the consequences of a humidification system's adjunction on non invasive ventilation's efficacy / patient-ventilator asynchronies / patients' comfort / treatment adherence. Before the clinical trial, the investigators conducted a bench study using a mechanical lung in order to evaluate the ventilator's behavior with and without a humidification system. The clinical trial will include patients with chronic respiratory failure with an indication of long-term non invasive ventilation therapy. Patients will be included in the Pulmonology, Thoracic Oncology and Respiratory intensive care unit of Rouen University Hospital. It will be a prospective monocentric study, including consecutively all eligible patients. Informed consent will be obtained from all of them. At baseline, patients will be hospitalized for two consecutive nights for non invasive ventilation's set up. During the first night, a polysomnography will be performed without non invasive ventilation. Then, patients will be treated by non invasive ventilation with a bi-level self-regulated pressure mode and an open circuit. Patients will be randomized in two groups: without a humidification system and with a humidification system. Partitioning by the physiopathological pattern (obstructive versus obesity hypoventilation syndrome vs. neuromuscular disease) will be done. During each night, arterial blood gases will be measured at bedtime and awakening. Patients will be monitored by: - polysomnography (only during the first night) - transcutaneous capnography - accessory inspiratory muscles surface electromyography - pneumotachograph on non invasive ventilation's circuit - pressions measured at the mask. Follow-up will take place at two months after non invasive ventilation's beginning with or without humidification. Patients will be hospitalized for one night only. Blood gases at bedtime and at awakening will be measured. A polysomnography with non invasive ventilation will be performed. Observance will be evaluated.
Humidified high flow nasal oxygen therapy decreases dilution of the inhaled oxygen and, by matching patient's peak flow, allows accurate delivery of the set FiO2 throughout the whole inspiratory phase.The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of hign-flow nasal therapy on pediatric hypercapnic respiratory failure by comparing with nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
Patients with AECOPD and NIV failure and in absence will be treated with NHF device. Inclusion criteria are pH < 7,38 and pCO2 > 45 mm Hg. Patients were treated if pH >7,38 or refusal of therapy.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a highly prevalent condition worldwide and is a cause of substantial morbidity and mortality. Unfortunately, few therapies have been shown to improve survival. The importance of systemic effects and co-morbidities in COPD has garnered attention based on the observation that many patients with COPD die from causes other than respiratory failure, including a large proportion from cardiovascular causes. Recently, two high profile randomized trials have shown substantial improvements in morbidity and mortality with use of nocturnal non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in COPD patients with hypercapnia. Although the mechanisms by which NIV improves outcomes remain unclear, the important benefits of NIV might be cardiovascular via a number of mechanisms. In contrast to prior trials of NIV in COPD that did not show substantial benefit, a distinguishing feature of these encouraging recent NIV clinical trials was a prominent reduction of hypercapnia, which might be a maker or mediator of effective therapy. Alternatively, improvements might be best achieved by targeting a different physiological measure. Additional mechanistic data are therefore needed to inform future trials and achieve maximal benefit of NIV. Recent work in cardiovascular biomarkers has identified high-sensitivity troponin to have substantial ability to determine cardiovascular stress in a variety of conditions - even with only small changes. In COPD, a number of observational studies have shown that high-sensitivity troponin increases with worsening disease severity, and that levels increase overnight during sleep. This biomarker therefore presents a promising means to study causal pathways regarding the effect of NIV in patients with COPD. With this background, the investigator's overall goals are: 1) To determine whether the beneficial effect of non-invasive ventilation might be due to a reduction in cardiovascular stress, using established cardiovascular biomarkers, and 2) To define whether a reduction in PaCO2 (or alternative mechanism) is associated with such an effect.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a worldwide common disease with high morbidity and mortality and leads to heavy social and economic burden. Health management of stable COPD patients has been suggested to be essential for delaying diseases progress, reducing acute exacerbation events and improving patient quality of life. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a widely used treatment in COPD patients. There were studies shown that NIV could improve ventilation, blood gases etc., and several clinical trials have shown improvements in survival, exercise capacity, quality of life and so on. Compliance to NIV and optimal parameter setting are important factors that will affect the effect of the use of NIV, thus NIV usage monitoring might also be a crucial element in the health management of COPD patients. Many studies have been designed to study the effect of tele-monitoring program on the management of COPD patients. However, almost none of these studies were designed for specific population, and little is known about the effect of such program on the management of patients with NIV treatment.
