Validation of a Dynamic Evaluation Tool in Respiratory Failure by Ambulatory Inductance Plethysmography
Validation of a Dynamic Evaluation Tool in Respiratory Failure by Ambulatory Inductance Plethysmography
Determing optimal time of ventilator disconnection is a challenge for both acute and chronic neuromuscular disease. In one case it is helpful for weanning from ventilator and in the other to optimize daytime ventilation in the most severe patients. The investigators propose to validate a new non invasive tool for monitoring respiratroy parameters in neuromuscular patients in both acute and chronic conditions.
Context:
Mechanical ventilation transformed the prognosis of neuromuscular diseases whether for acute or chronic diseases. The available tools to estimate the severity of respiratory insufficiency and indicate or follow the efficiency of mechanical ventilation are based on blood gazes explorations, tests respiratory function and sleep evaluation.
These tools give either limited information, or are with difficulty applicable to patients heavily handicapped except during hospitalization.
In patients under mechanical ventilation, it is sometimes difficult to know the daily optimal time of ventilation. The respiratory events are not generally recognized and are unspecific (headaches, drowsiness, dyspnoea, etc.) or are identified by blood gazes abnormalities (hypercapnia. In acute setting, treble is going to raise the problem of the weaning of the mechanical ventilation and the optimal moment of the extubation without risking a reintubation.
These problems are identical and concern the evaluation of the degree of ventilatory autonomy for home care. The development of methods estimating this autonomy is thus fundamental.
Objectives: the objective of this project is to validate a non-invasive system for measure and acquisition of respiratory parameters, incorporating a transmission system working by a "wireless" technology allowing the remote monitoring of these patients.
The secondary objectives are to determine the parameters of success of weaning by using the device in neuromuscular patients intubated for respiratory failure in acute setting and to determine the optimal time of free breathing possibilities in patients ventilated in a chronic way at home.
Methods:
After validation of the device on 10 healthy subjects, continuous acquisition of the ventilatory data by means of the Teleresp system compared with measure of the transcutaneous PCO2, of SaO2 and arterial gazometry at the end of free breath trial in 40 acute and chronic neuromuscular patients.
Selection criteria:
