Safety and Effectiveness Assessment of the MakAir Artificial Ventilator

Interventional, Open, Non-comparative, Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety and Effectiveness of the Use of the MakAir Artificial Ventilator in the Expected Situation of a Shortage of Technical Devices for Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, Linked to the Coronavirus COVID-19

The objective of our study is to carry out an evaluation of the safety and the effectiveness of the use of the MakAir respirator as useful supplement in situation of shortage of technical devices of assistance to the mechanical invasive ventilation, related to COVID-19 through a protocol in 3 successive sequences.

Inclusion Criteria:

Sequence 1 :

• Patient for whom a certificate has been signed by a support person / family member / close relative independent of the sponsor.
• Adult
• Non-hypoxemic patient (PaO2 / FiO2> 300)
• Patient requiring invasive mechanical ventilation> 24 hours
• Stabilized patient, i.e. not needing an increase in oxygenation for at least 6 hours

Sequence 2 :

• Patient for whom a certificate of consent has been signed by a support person / family member / close relative independent of the sponsor.
• Adult
• Patient with mild to moderate Acute respiratory distress syndrome (300> Pa02 / FiO2> 100)
• Patient requiring invasive mechanical ventilation> 3 days
• Stabilized patient, i.e. having not required an increase in oxygenation for at least 6 hours

Sequence3 :

• Patient for whom a certificate of consent has been signed by a support person / family member / close relative independent of the sponsor or waiver due to life-threatening emergency.
• Adult
• Patient with mild to moderate Acute respiratory distress syndrome (PaO2 / FiO2> 100) or without Acute respiratory distress syndrome
• Patient requiring invasive mechanical ventilation for any duration
• Situation of shortage among centers investigating technical devices for invasive ventilation to treat all patients

Sequence3 :

• Tracheotomized patient
