Overview

Brief Summary

This trial aims to assess dyspnea intensity in tracheostomized patients undergoing prolonged artificial ventilation weaning. The primary outcome is dyspnea measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS-Dyspnea). A comparison between low-pressure balloon tracheostomy cannula and plated balloon cannula and four interfaces (Cap, ventilator, phonation valve, or filter) are tested. The secondary outcomes including Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile, pain, anxiety VAS, and tolerance under different interfaces. The multicenter, cross-over study involves 76 patients over 25 months, each serving as their own control. Cap is always evaluated first but the order of the three interfaces (ventilator, phonation valve, or filter) and type of cannula are chosen by randomization. The study is conducted in three weaning centers (SRPR units) at Pitié-Salpêtrière, Bligny, and Forcilles.

Detailed Description

Dyspnea is common in patients ventilated in intensive care and SRPR units, and it can generate states of post-traumatic stress. Due to the prolonged duration of artificial ventilation, tracheostomized patients, for the purpose of prolonged weaning from artificial ventilation, are particularly exposed to dyspnea. The main objective is to compare the respective impact of a low-pressure balloon tracheostomy cannula and a plated balloon cannula on the dyspnea intensity of tracheostomized patients in spontaneous ventilation, with the cannula closed by a cap. The primary outcome is the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for dyspnea (VAS-Dyspnea). The investigators will compare low pressure versus plated balloon tracheostomy cannulas, considering the sensory and emotional components of dyspnea, as well as tolerance, pain, comfort, and anxiety under four different interfaces: ventilator, phonation valve, Cap, or filter. This will be measured through the following secondary outcomes: * VAS-Dyspnea * Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile * Pain and anxiety VAS This multicenter study (SRPR Pitié-Salpêtrière, Bligny, and Forcilles) will be randomized in a cross-over design, comparing the use of two types of low-pressure or plated balloon cannulas over two consecutive days. For each cannula, four interfaces will be connected in a row starting with the cap. The order in which the other three interfaces will be set up will be randomized (ventilator, filter, and phonation valve). It is a cross-over including 76 patients, with each serving as their his own control, over 25 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Dyspnea visual analogic scale (VAS) with cap

Time Frame: 30 minutes after using each interfaces

The VAS of dyspnoea evaluate the severity of dyspnoea, the index has 10 numerical values, rated on a scale from 0-10, each value corresponding to an intensity of breathlessness. It is an easy-to-use scale for patients.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Biological variable : Pulsed oxygen saturation(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • Biological variable : Respiratory rate(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • Anxiety visual analogic scales (VAS)(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • use of anxiolytic drugs(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP)(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • Biological variable : Systolic and diastolic systemic blood pressure(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • Pain visual analogic scales (VAS)(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • Dyspnea visual analogic scale (VAS) after 30 min breathing with filter, ventilator and phonation valve(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • Biological variable : Heart rate(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
  • use of analgesic anti dyspnoetics drugs (morphine and derivatives)(30 minutes after using each interfaces)
