Respiratoy Failure Requiring NIV Treatment Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Four Different Ventilators for Noninvasive Ventilation in Terms of Patient-ventilator Synchrony and Comfort
Comparison of the effects of 4 ventilators dedicated to NIV (2 home ventilators and 2 ventilators designed for NIV) on patient-ventilator synchrony and comfort in patients admitted in the intensive care unit for respiratory failure and treated with NIV.

| Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Patient-ventilator synchrony | Patient-ventilator synchrony will be assessed breath by brath on the basis of airway pressure, flow and diaphragmatic electrical activity recordings. | No | |
| Secondary | comfort of patient under NIV | Patient's confort during NIV will be assessed using a visual analogic scale. | No | |
| Secondary | Ventilatory parameters | Tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time and maximal and mean airway pressure will be measured from the continuous recording of airway pressure and flow. | No |
