Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Feasibility of AVAPS-AE vs. CPAP vs.Bilevel Pressure Support Ventilation in Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating AVAPS-AE Mode of Therapy, Respironics OnmiLab BiPAP S mode, and 1 other intervention for Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using of the Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS-AE) mode versus Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and bilevel pressure support ventilation (PSV) modes of ventilation in patients diagnosed with Obesity Hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). The investigators believe the use of the AVAPS-AE mode of ventilation after 6 weeks will yield daytime gas exchange values which are equivalent or no worse when compared to using CPAP and bilevel PSV modes of ventilation in the OHS population.
