High Intensity Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (HINPPV) for Stable Hypercapnic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (HINPPV) for stable, hypercapnic COPD patients. The investigators believe that HINPPV, used at least 6 hours nocturnally over three months, will benefit the stable hypercapnic COPD patient through a reduction in the daytime partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) levels.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
This is a single arm interventional study. Hypercapnic COPD participants that meet eligibility criteria will receive high intensity non-invasive positive pressure ventilation(HINPPV). Participants will receive HINPPV via bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) via a Synchrony ventilator if they require an inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) less than or equal to 30 cmH2O; or the Trilogy ventilator if they require an IPAP greater than 30 cmH2O.
