简要总结
Expiratory Flow Limitation (EFL) occurs when the airways become compressed, which usually results when the pressure outside the airway exceeds the pressure inside the airway. EFL can be detected using the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT), which has been incorporated into a new screening feature in the Philips Respironics BiPAP Ventilator overall platform (Vector Non-Invasive (NIV) device). In this study, the Vector device will be used in a cross-sectional non-randomized epidemiology study to assess the prevalence and severity of expiratory flow limitation in a community COPD population. The study will also investigate how the presence of EFL may correlate with other physiological biomarker endpoints in the COPD patient. Participants will include 100 male and females with a diagnosis of COPD between the ages of 40 and 80. During the one-visit study, participants will undergo an EFL screening using the Vector device. If EFL is not detected during the screening after 5 minutes, the participant will not continue. If EFL is detected by the device, the participant will continue to wear it while it measures the level of therapy that is needed to eliminate EFL. Twenty minutes of pressure therapy will then be provided and the final Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) that is determined to abolish the participants EFL will be recorded. Participant characteristics (e.g. health history, behaviors, anthropometric, vitals, etc.) will be also be collected via questionnaires, medical record review, and physical exam. Future benefits of the study will be to gain a better understanding of the Vector screening feature and the characteristics of patients who present with varying degrees of EFL severity.
详细描述
This will be a cross-sectional, non-randomized epidemiology study designed to assess the prevalence and severity of expiratory flow limitation in a community COPD population. In the study we will also investigate how the presence EFL may correlate to other physiological biomarker endpoints in the COPD patient.
Schedule of Events:
Study Visit
- Once the participant arrives, the study will be explained in full detail. If the participant agrees, he/she will be consented into the study and the participant will be given a copy of the informed consent.
- Once consent is obtained, and eligibility is confirmed the following study related procedures will be conducted:
- Demographics: gender, date of birth, ethnicity, race, level of education will be collected.
- Current Medications: all current medications will be collected.
- Medical History Assessment: information will be collected regarding historical spirometry data, COPD history and other relevant medical history including the diagnosis of Sleep disordered breathing and Oxygen therapy usage. Chest computerized tomography (CT) scans will be collected if they have not been done within the past two years. A new CT scan will not be required.
- Physical examination with anthropometric data (weight, height and temperature) collected and vital signs to include Heart Rate (HR),Blood Pressure (BP), Respiratory Rate (RR), and Oxygen Saturation (SPO2) maintained at least 88% on room air, and chest auscultation.
- Review of inclusion/exclusion to ensure participant is eligible to continue
- Administration of Study Questionnaires
- Mask Fitting: Participants will have up to two mask fittings in order to determine the best possible masks while using the Vector NIV device during the EFL screening and titration.
- Spirometry testing will be performed for participants who have not had a test in the previous 6 months Resmon Pro EFL Measurement
- Participants will be required to wear nose clips during the measurement
- Participants will also be required to hold their cheeks during the measurement to prevent any air leaks around their mouth.
- While seated, participants will be instructed to breathe normally into the device for at least 30 seconds or until at least 10 breaths were successfully accepted by the device
- Participants will be asked to repeat test while in the supine or semi-recumbent position.

结局指标
主要结局
Overall Prevalence of Expiratory Flow Limitation
时间窗: 1 day
The overall prevalence of EFL will be determined. This is defined as the percentage of participants exhibiting a DeltaXRS value greater than or equal to 2.8 using the Vector EFL device while supine. For purposes of this trial, overall prevalence includes indeterminate EFL and EFL.
次要结局
- Correlation of Titrated Final EPAP to Participants' Forced Expiratory Volume in One Second (FEV1)(1 day)
- Correlation of Titrated Final EPAP to Participants' Screening DeltaXrs Value(1 day)
- Percent of Participants With EFL Per the Resmon Pro That Have Their EFL Abolished During the Vector Screening.(1 day)
