Other: Pressure controlled ventilation
Other: pressure support ventilation
Registration Number
NCT01573481

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare pressure controlled continuous mandatory ventilation versus pressure support ventilation during the night for weaning to mechanical ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and their impact onto sleep quality.

GroupInterventionDescription
Pressure controlled ventilationPressure controlled ventilationPatients in this group are ventilated during the night (10 PM to 9 AM) with pressure controlled ventilation mode. The level of inspiratory pressure is set to 20 cm H2O and the respiratory rate is adjusted to avoid any spontaneous breathing (respiratory rate \> or equal to 12 breath per min). During the day (9 AM to 10 PM), patients are ventilated with pressure support ventilation (the level of pressure support is progressively decreased).
Pressure support ventilationpressure support ventilationPatients in this group are ventilated during the night (10 PM to 9 AM) with pressure support ventilation mode. The level of the pressure support is the same as the previous day. During the day (9 AM to 10 PM), patients are ventilated with pressure support ventilation (the level of pressure support is progressively decreased).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Weaning durationbetween one to 21 days (the study will begin when patient presents weaning criteria and will stop 48 days after extubation.)

weaning duration in days (from the first day with spontaneous ventilation to extubation)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
weaning failure48 hours

Failure of weaning = re-intubation, necessity of non invative ventilation support for periods during the day time or death, in the first 48 hours following extubation

Quantity and quality of sleep1 to 21 days

Polygraphic datas will be analyzed during weaning, integrating: Proportion of sleep stages (I, II, III, IV, REM sleep), overall sleep and awakeness period.

Average ratio of diurnal sleep on total overall sleep, average ratio of diurnal sleep on total sleep at the first day of weaning and the day before extubation; Observation of central apneas from begining of weaning to extubation.
