Clinical Trial Summary

In physiological conditions, spontaneous ventilation is controlled by blood carbon dioxide (and pH) levels. In healthy animals, extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal leads to hypoventilation or apnea (Kolobow et al., 1977). During acute respiratory insufficiency, extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal may be used to control spontaneous ventilation, limiting risks of lung damage and relieving dyspnea (Crotti et al., 2012). However, little is known about how spontaneous ventilation changes in response to changes in extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal during acute respiratory insufficiency, especially in humans.

Aim of this study is to monitor changes in spontaneous ventilation in awake patients treated with extracorporeal gas exchange support because of acute respiratory insufficiency, in response to changes in extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Spontaneous ventilation Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal will be increased or decreased changing the gas flow to the extracorporeal membrane lung. Actual extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal will be measured. Spontaneous respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute ventilation, esophageal pressure swings and comfort of the patient will be recorded 30-60 minutes after changing extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal. 30-60 minutes after changing extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal No
