Randomized Study of TransAeris® System in Cardiac Surgery Patients at Risk of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Ventilator Induced Diaphragm Dysfunction
Interventions
Device: TransAeris
Registration Number
NCT04899856
Lead Sponsor
Synapse Biomedical
Brief Summary

This study will be conducted as a randomized trial of the TransAeris system for the prevention and treatment of ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction (VIDD) in patients identified prior to surgery to be at greater risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV).

Detailed Description

This study is an open label, randomized, cross-over study in adult open cardiac surgery patients. All subjects will receive TransLoc electrodes at the time of open sternotomy cardiac procedure. Half of subjects will have TransAeris turned on upon entry to ICU, the other half will receive standard of care with TransAeris turned on if still intubated on mechanical ventilation after 120 hours.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Control / Crossover to TransAeris TherapyTransAerisThe "Control" group will be treated per standard hospital policy following electrode implant. If the participant is not liberated from mechanical ventilation after 120 hours (5 days), the participant will begin using TransAeris therapy. The participant will use the study device in the ICU until liberated from the ventilator but no longer than 30 days after implant surgery.
Treatment with TransAeris TherapyTransAerisThe "Treatment" group will start TranAeris therapy shortly after arrival in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Participants will use the study device in the ICU until liberated from the ventilator but no longer than 30 days after implant surgery.
