Registration Number
NCT02139631
Lead Sponsor
Federal University of Uberlandia
Brief Summary

The noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a method of ventilatory support that does not require artificial airway. Its application is associated with complex hemodynamic repercussions, therefore is important to identify them for safety and effectiveness of the technique application.

The main objective of this research is to evaluate the hemodynamic repercussions using doppler echocardiography in healthy volunteers submitted a different values of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) by the following ventilatory modes: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and Bilevel.

The study hypothesis is that the positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) may cause hemodynamic repercussions as: reduction of the ventricles pre-load, left ventricle after load, cardiac output and reduction in the diameter of the superior vena cava, due to the increase in the intrathoracic pressure and pulmonary volumes.

GroupInterventionDescription
Healthy volunteersNoninvasive ventilationThe volunteers initially underwent a clinical examination, spirometry and echocardiography to prove the health state. Then, different levels of positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) is applied by the noninvasive ventilation in all individuals and the hemodynamic repercussions are evaluated by the doppler echocardiography
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hemodynamic repercussions of different levels of positive end expiratory pressure applied noninvasively, measured by echocardiography5 minutes

The hemodynamic variables evaluated are: ventricular preload, left ventricle afterload, cardiac output, blood pressure and the vena cava's diameter. All variables will be assessed by echocardiography

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of cardiac output as a predictor of cardiopulmonary adaptation to different pressures.5 minutes
