In Vitro Assessment of a Breath-synchronized Vibrating Mesh Nebulizer During Non Invasive Ventilation

Using an adult lung bench model of non invasive ventilation, the aim of the study is to compare an experimental system of breath-synchronized vibrating mesh nebulizer to a conventional vibrating mesh nebulizer during non invasive ventilation in terms of inhaled and lost doses.

Treatment and study plan

Nebulization of Amikacin during NIV (RR: 15 cycles/minute)

Drug

500 mg/4 mL Amikacin nebulized using vibrating mesh nebulizer associated with a single limb bilevel ventilator. The nebulizations are considered as finished when there is no visible evidence of nebulization for a period of 30 seconds. The NIV is set with an IPAP of 15 cmH2O and EPAP of 5 cmH2O. The lung model is simulated with a respiratory rate of 15 cycles/minute

Other names: Amikacine sulfate

Nebulization of Amikacin during NIV (RR: 25 cycles/minute)

Drug

500 mg/4 mL Amikacin nebulized using vibrating mesh nebulizer associated with a single limb bilevel ventilator. The nebulizations are considered as finished when there is no visible evidence of nebulization for a period of 30 seconds. The NIV is set with an IPAP of 15 cmH2O and EPAP of 5 cmH2O. The lung model is simulated with a respiratory rate of 25 cycles/minute

Other names: Amikacine sulfate

Primary outcomes

  1. Inhaled dose

    Time frame: after 24 hours

    The inhaled dose assessed by residual gravimetric method

Secondary outcomes

  1. Expiratory wasted dose

    Time frame: after 24 hours

    The dose expelled in the ambient air through the exhalation port assessed by residual gravimetric method

Other outcomes

  1. Estimated lost dose

    Time frame: after 24 hours

    The dose lost into the circuit (nebulizer included) assessed by residual gravimetric method
