Percutaneous Temporary Placement of a Transvenous Phrenic Nerve Stimulator for Diaphragm Pacing Using Jugular Access
- Conditions
- Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury
- Interventions
- Device: LIVE Catheter
- Registration Number
- NCT03659552
- Lead Sponsor
- Lungpacer Medical Inc.
- Brief Summary
Study conducted to confirm phrenic nerve stimulation using the a transvenous Phrenic Nerve Stimulator in the left jugular vein.
- Detailed Description
The Lungpacer Jugular Access Feasibility System is a prototype for the Lungpacer Diaphragm Pacing Therapy System (DPTS) and consists of the LIVE Catheter, a stimulation system with a Multipole Panel Accessory, an airflow sensor and a Heart Rate Data Capture Device. The catheter is intended for inclusion in the commercial product. The stimulation system with a Multipole Panel Accessory and a Heart Rate Data Capture Device is an interim component created to enable initial safety and feasibility testing of the Lungpacer DPTS concept.

Group Intervention Description Temporary diaphragmatic pacing LIVE Catheter There is no comparator for this study. Single site and all patients are in the treatment allocated group of temporary diaphragmatic pacing with the LIVE Catheter which is inserted via the left jugular vein.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Successful insertion of the LIVE Catheter into the left jugular vein and stimulation of phrenic nerves through study completion, an average of 14 days To determine whether in an anesthetized (sedated, intubated, and mechanically ventilated) patient the LIVE Catheter can be inserted percutaneously in the left jugular vein and, via the electrical stimulator, to transvenously stimulate one or both phrenic nerves causing the diaphragm to contract
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Absence of device related or procedure related adverse events through study completion, an average of 14 days Assess subject for adverse events status up to 48 hours post procedure
