Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) on Exercise Capacity of Children and Adolescents With Severe Therapy-resistant Asthma
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) for Asthma. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to verify the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on exercise capacity of children and adolescents with severe therapy-resistant asthma (STRA). A randomized, controlled, crossover clinical trial will be conducted. We expect the use of CPAP to increase exercise capacity in children and adolescents with STRA.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In the first moment, CPAP will be installed, and the researcher will hold a mask in the position in which it is coherent, explaining the method to the patient and allowing their gradual adaptation. Patients will adapt for a few minutes to make sure the mask is consistent with the specifications, so that the patient is comfortable. Participants in the intervention group will start with a PEEP of 1cmH2O that will increase by 2 cmH2O until a PEEP of 10 cmH2O is reached. Therefore, participants in the intervention group will remain with CPAP, PEEP of 10cmH2O, FiO2 0.21, for a period of 40 minutes.
