Proportional Ventilation and Ventilatory Synchronism
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Hospices Civils de Lyon, April 2007
Sponsored by: Hospices Civils de Lyon
Information provided by: Hospices Civils de Lyon
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00133939
  Purpose

Synchronism of gas flow delivered by the ventilator and muscular effort of the patient will be studied during two kinds of ventilation. The first one is the proportional assisted ventilation during which the gas flow is theoretically adapted to the patient's muscular effort within the breath. The second is the pressure support ventilation during which the gas flow is delivered to maintain the inspiratory pressure stable. The hypothesis is that the first mode allows a better synchronism.


Condition Intervention
Mechanical Ventilation
Procedure: Mechanical ventilation

U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Crossover Assignment, Efficacy Study
Official Title: Proportional Ventilation and Ventilatory Synchronism

Further study details as provided by Hospices Civils de Lyon:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Time lag between the onset of diaphragmatic electromyogram (EMG) signal and the zero crossing of the inspiratory flow, over five minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Number per minute of failing breaths: breath with muscular effort without any inspiratory flow
