"VARIABLE-PSV" Study - Full Text View

Purpose

Variable PSV is a new ventilatory mode which delivered a pressure support "variable" from 0 to 100% variation of the set PSV level.This study aimed to compare the ventilatory behavior, sleep quality and gas exchange between VARIABLE (or Noisy)-PSV and "standard" (or fixed)-PSV during the weaning phase of critically ill patients who required mechanical ventilation.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Oxygenation in each ventilatory mode [ Time Frame: after 24h of mechanical ventilation in each mode ]
We will performed arterial blood gases and oxygenation wil be evaluated by the PaO2/FiO2 ration.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Ventilatory comfort [ Time Frame: during 24h in each mode ]
Comfort zone is defined as previously reported in some papers as considered adequate ventilation : 6 < tidal volume < 10 ml/kg, ETCO2 < 55 mmHg and < 65 mmHg for COPD patients and 12 < Respiratory rate < 35 cycles/min.
Feasibility [ Time Frame: during the 24 hours ]
Evaluation of time spent in each mode during the 24 hours of ventilation without any side effects and switch for another ventilatory mode.
Patient/ventilator asynchronism [ Time Frame: during the 24 hours ]
Evaluation of number of asynchrony evaluated by an Asynchrony Index (AI) in each mode during the 24 hours of mechanical ventilation
Ventilatory effects [ Time Frame: during the 24 hours ]
Evaluation of machine ventilatory behaviors in each mode during the 24 hours of mechanical ventilation.
Sleep quality [ Time Frame: after the 24 hours ]
Evaluation of quality of sleep in each mode after the 24h of mechanical ventilation

Arms	Assigned Interventions
VARIABLE-PSV ventilatory mode	Other: VARIABLE-PSV ventilatory mode The two ventilatory modes will be studied during 24h in intubated patients in random order.
STANDARD-PSV ventilatory mode	Other: STANDARD-PSV ventilatory mode The two ventilatory modes will be studied during 24h in intubated patients in random order.

Detailed Description:

Twenty patients will be enrolled. They will be ventilated withVARIABLE-PSV and STANDARD-PSV: for 24 h each in a randomized crossover order. The ventilatory parameters, ventilator/patient asynchrony, gas exchange effects, sleep quality and ventilatory comfort produced by the two ventilation modes will be compared. Before randomisation, a sequence of VARIABLE-PSV will be performed with different level of variation setting to better define the future behavior of the patient under this mode during the 24 h of Variable-PSV.
