NCT01214200

Brief Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (HINPPV) for stable, hypercapnic COPD patients. The investigators believe that HINPPV, used at least 6 hours nocturnally over three months, will benefit the stable hypercapnic COPD patient through a reduction in the daytime partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) levels.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Daytime Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide in Arterial Blood (PaCO2)

    Daytime PaCO2 levels assessed after using high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (HINPPV) are compared to the participants' baseline daytime PaCO2 levels.

    Before and after 3 months of therapy

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Health Status

    Before and after 3 months of therapy

  • Maximal Inspiratory Pressure

    Before and after 3 months of therapy

  • Exercise Capacity

    Before and after 3 months of therapy

  • Dyspnea at Rest and With Exertion

    Before and after 3 months of therapy

  • Sleepiness

    Before and after 3 months of therapy

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

High Intensity Non Invasive Pos.Pressure

EXPERIMENTAL

The High Intensity Non-invasive Pos.Pressure trial is a single arm interventional study. Hypercapnic COPD participants that meet eligibility criteria will receive high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (HINPPV) for 90 days. Participants will receive HINPPV via bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP Synchrony) if they require an inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) less than or equal to 30 cmH2O (centimeters of water); or the Trilogy ventilator if they require an IPAP greater than 30 cmH2O.

Device: Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)

Interventions

This is a single arm interventional study. Hypercapnic COPD participants that meet eligibility criteria will receive high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation(HINPPV). Participants will receive HINPPV via bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) via a Synchrony ventilator if they require an inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) less than or equal to 30 cmH2O; or the Trilogy ventilator if they require an IPAP greater than 30 cmH2O.

Also known as: Synchrony BiPAP ventilator and Trilogy Ventilator
