Proportional Assist Ventilation (PAV) in Early Stage of Critically Ill

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

To evaluate the effectiveness of high assistance proportional assist ventilation (PAV+) (objective 80% gain) as main ventilatory support in early stage of critically ill patients in comparison with standard volume-assist control ventilation (ACV).

Clinical Trial Description

The goal of this proposal is to apply PAV+ as routine ventilatory mode in the early stage of critically ill patients, taking advantages of spontaneous breathing and better patient-ventilator interaction.

The standard treatment in patients with acute respiratory failure is mechanical ventilation in control-mode for the first days of acute illness. This procedure is usually associated with patient-ventilator dyssynchrony, higher needs of sedation and/or relaxation, muscle atrophy, etc. PAV + is a new ventilatory mode that applies pressure in proportion to spontaneous patient inspiratory effort allowing better adaptation to changes in internal homeostasis.

Up to now, several reports compare PAV with assisted modes as a feasible alternative only in the weaning phase. However, PAV is able to unload patient effort in different levels, suggesting that high-assistance PAV (about 80%) could be comparable with assist-control modes in terms of respiratory muscles unload.

Whether PAV is as effective as traditional ACV in terms of ventilation muscle unload in the acute phase of illness has not been established and we aim to address this question.

We plan to prospectively enroll patients on mechanical ventilation early at ICU admission, and to ventilate them randomly under ACV (volume-assist control ventilation) or PAV+ (beginning with 80% if possible). We will evaluate length of mechanical ventilation, sedation requirements and respiratory-hemodynamic variables from the very beginning and until attending clinicians decide that patients are ready to be weaned. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
