Neural Pressure Support, Synchrony and Respiratory Muscle Unloading

In this study patients who are intubated and on ventilator for more than 24h will be ventilated at three different level of support in Pressure Support and Neural Pressure Support to study patient-ventilator synchrony and muscle unloading.

About this study

This study is an interventional randomized crossover study in intubated and mechanically ventilated patients for more than 24h. Eligible patients from whom informed consent is obtained and Pes and Edi catheter are successfully positioned are enrolled in the study. Patients will be ventilated in Pressure Support and Neural Pressure Support at three different level of assist (baseline, 50% and 150% of baseline respectively) in randomized order. Ventilator curves will be recorded and bloodgas obtained at the end of each study step, each lasting 20min.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Inclusion criteria

-Patients intubated for more than 24 hours in the weaning phase from the ventilator.

Exclusion criteria

  • bleeding disorders (PK INR>1,5 or APTT>50s or platelet count <50000/µL)
  • unstable circulation (requiring high vasopressor dose, for example Noradrenalin >0,2µg/kg/min)
  • severe lung disease (PFI ≤ 13,3 kPa)
  • fever> 38,5°C
  • pregnancy.

Treatment and study plan

Neural Pressure Support (mode of mechanical ventilation)

Device

Nasogastric tube will be removed and replaced by a Esophageal catheter and Electrical Diaphragm activity catheter and mechanical ventilation in mode Neural Pressure Support

Primary outcomes

  1. Patient-ventilator asynchronies

    Time frame: 20 minutes ventilatory traces recording

    quantification of asynchronies by the use of the Edi catheter

Secondary outcomes

  1. respiratory muscle unloading

    Time frame: 20 minutes ventilatory traces recording

    quantification of muscle unloading by use of Pes
