Pragmatic Investigation of Volume Targeted Ventilation-1

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Ventilator Lung
Respiratory Failure
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Interventions
Procedure: mode of mechanical ventilation
Registration Number
NCT03909854
Lead Sponsor
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Brief Summary

This proposal will test the feasibility of implementing an assist volume control ventilation protocol in patients receiving mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit. The trial will consist of a before-and-after trial design of block assignment to either adaptive pressure control (baseline) or assist volume control .

This is a feasibility study looking at the management of patients in the ventilator.

Detailed Description

Over the course of 6 weeks, a before-and-after trial design of adaptive pressure control and assist volume control will be conducted.

Pre-trial planning phase: study protocols will be reviewed with key stakeholders (respiratory therapy providers and medical teams)

Weeks 1-2: data will be collected on our current adaptive pressure control ventilator protocol.

Week 3: The investigators will implement an assist volume control protocol. . Patients already on mechanical ventilation will be converted to assist volume control; however, these patients will not be included in the primary analysis.In accordance with the Consolidated Framework For Implementation Research (CFIR) approach, after 1 week of assist volume control the investigators will engage in quantitative and qualitative feedback with care providers to identify facilitators and barriers of assist volume control implementation.

Week 4-6: If the investigators identify substantial barriers, the investigators will pause and alter the protocol. If not, the investigators will continue assist volume control for an additional 2 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of patients receiving Assist Volume Control1 hour

The primary outcome for the PIVOT-1 pilot is feasibility of Assist Volume Control implementation. We define feasibility in this study as 80% of patients receiving Assist Volume Control within 1 hour of initiation of intensive care unit mechanical ventilation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
exhaled tidal volume2 weeks

exhaled tidal volume will be compared between modes using data extracted from the critical care data capsule.

intensive care length of stay28 days

intensive care unit length of stay will be compared between the modes using data from the critical care data analytics platform

assist volume control duration24 hours

A secondary feasibility outcome will be \>70% of ventilated time on Assist Volume Control during the first 24 hours of mechanical ventilation.

Number of ventilator free days28 days

vent free days will be compared between the modes using data from the critical care data analytics platform

Percentage of mode crossover2 weeks

A secondary feasibility outcome will include \<10% crossover to the alternative mode
