Key information

About this study

Cognitive capacities are measured on healthy subject submitted to inspiratory threshold loading, patients treated by chronic mechanical ventilation due to suffering Ondine syndrome or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The spontaneous breathing is compared to NIV breathing or inspiratory threshold loading.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults and non-vulnerable adults
  • Fluent in French

Exclusion criteria

For patients:

  • Total ventilatory dependency
  • Coexistence of an other respiratory disease
  • Alcohol and /or psychotropic consumption during the last 24 hours
  • One or more episodes of acute respiratory failure during the past 6 months
  • Serious cognitive deficiency or presence of fronto temporal dementia
  • End-stage disease
  • No affiliation to social security

For healthy volunteers:

  • Existing respiratory disease
  • Alcohol and /or psychotropes consumption during the last 24 hours
  • Tobacco smoking more than 2 pack-years
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Serious cognitive deficiency
  • No affiliation to social security

Treatment and study plan

neuropsychological tests

Other

A battery of tests to evaluate the overall cognitive performance of the subjects (memory, executive, attentional or instrumental functions)

Primary outcomes

  1. Score at PASAT (Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test)

    Time frame: 3 hours

    Performances will be assessed by counting the number of good and wrong answers, and comparing it in two conditions : spontaneous breathing (SB) versus inspiratory resistive loading for healthy subjects, and SB versus non invasive ventilation for patients.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Oxygen saturation changes

    Time frame: 3 hours

    Modifications of oxygen saturation measured using a saturometer placed on the subject's finger.
