NCT02264626

Brief Summary

In patients undergoing NIV for acute respiratory, lack of tolerance is one of the main reason of failure. This may result in a poor synchrony between the patient and the machine, leading to gross mismatching and potentially to an increased work of breathing. The investigators aim to investigate whether in these patients poorly responding to NIV the use of a sedation protocol using remifentanil will lead to an improve patient-ventilator interaction and better compliance to NIV.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • patient-ventilator interaction

    patient-ventilator interaction will be assessed using the recording of respiratory mechanics to identify

    one hour

  • matching of inspiratory timing

    the patients inspiratory time vs ventilator inspiratory time

    one hour

  • Wasted efforts

    breaths unable to trigger the ventilator

    one hour

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • NIV failure

    one hour

Study Arms (1)

acutely ill patients

EXPERIMENTAL

administration of remifentanil at the infusion rate by 0.025 μg kg-1 min-1 to a maximum of 0.10 μg kg-1 min-1.

Drug: Remifentanil

Interventions

infusion at a rate by 0.025 μg kg-1 min-1 every minute to a maximum of 0.15 μg kg-1 min-1.

Also known as: ultriva
acutely ill patients

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 90 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Ph\<7,35 and PaCO2\>50 mmHg with acute respiratory failure
  • Signs of respiratory distress and poor synchrony with the ventilator as assessed on the ventilator screen and by looking patient own rate and ventilator recorded rate

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients responding well to NIV and not showing signs of poor synchrony
