Transcutaneous CO2 Measurement - From Hospital to Home
- Conditions
- Type 2 Respiratory FailureHypercapnic Respiratory Failure
- Registration Number
- NCT06694870
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Oslo
- Brief Summary
Long-term non-invasive ventilation (LT-NIV) is the main treatment modality for chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.To assess the adequacy of alveolar ventilation during sleep and potential sleep hypoventilation, nocturnal transcutaneous CO2 (PtcCO2) monitoring is necessary. There is an increased tendency to monitor patients at home, but there is a lack of robust data comparing the technical success rates between the home and inpatient setting of PtcCO2 monitoring. The primary aim of the current study was to evaluate the rate of successful nocturnal PtcCO2 monitoring in a home setting in a population of patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure receiving LT-NIV. The secondary aim was to compare these data with PtcCO2 registrations performed during regular follow up of a similar population of patients in a hospital setting.
- Detailed Description
Patients scheduled for LT-NIV follow-up at Oslo University Hospital, Ullevål in the time-period January 2020 to December 2022 were prospectively identified. Follow-up monitoring occurred either at home or in the hospital. Two physicians blinded to the location of the monitoring, retrospectively classified the PtcCO2 as successful or unsuccessful, and identified the causes of failure for the latter.
