Noninvasive Ventilation Masks Carbon Dioxide Clearance in Normal Volunteers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study will be a randomized crossover trial that will be conducted at Rush University. The study will be conducted with 20 healthy volunteers who will be placed on ICU ventilator operating in the NIPPV mode. All subjects will perform 15 minutes of breathing on NIPPV on each mask of the 4 different masks (2 oronasal and 2 full face masks) that are randomly selected. Breathing through each mask will be followed by a 5- minute wash out period between masks. End tidal Carbon Dioxide (EtCO2) will be sampled nasal/oral. Different levels of EPAP will be set and CO2 clearance will be monitored. Additionally, subjective mask comfort will be assessed via visual analog scale (VAS) with 1 referring to least comfortable and 5 being the most comfortable.

Detailed Description
This study will be a randomized crossover trial that will be conducted at Rush University.
Normal volunteers will be recruited from Rush University Medical Centers. Volunteers will be screened with inclusion and exclusion criteria and an informed consent is required in order for them to participate. Demographic (age, gender, ethnicity) will be obtained.
Also, initial baseline vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation) will be obtained. EtCO2 will be obtained at baseline and periodically using an oral/nasal sample line with the CapnostreamTM 20p monitor (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN). The study will use a double limb circuit ICU ventilator Puritan Bennett™ (Medtronic, Dublin, Ireland). Investigators will evaluate 4 NIPPV masks (2 oronasal masks and 2 full face masks).
Oronasal masks will be labeled as group A and numbered as A1 and A2; while full face masks will be labeled group B and numbered as B1 and B2. Order of the masks will be randomly chosen in two steps. First steps will be choosing A or B then randomly assign mask in each of these groups. Investigators will randomly assign mask in group A or B by drawing an initial mask from the group and then continue the sequence of masks from that point. For example, investigators randomly chose group A, then randomly chose A2, the sequence will be A2, A1. Then Investigators would randomly choose B2, then the sequence would be B2, B1. All subjects will perform 15 minutes on each mask followed by 5 minutes wash out interval between masks. EPAP levels will be 0, 2, 4, & 5 while IPAP remains at 5 higher than EPAP. EtCO2 will be collected at 4:00, 4:30 and 5:00 minute mark. These three measures should differ by less than 20% of their average. Also, subjective mask ORA: 18011502-IRB01 Date IRB Approved: 3/30/2018 Amendment Date: 5/11/2018 comfort will be assessed via visual analog scale (VAS) with 1 referring to least comfortable and 5 being the most comfortable after 5 each EPAP setting.

Active Comparator: BiTrac MaxShield™ with standard elbow (FFM) Order of the masks were randomly chosen. Investigators randomly assigned all masks for paper raffling from container. All subjects performed 20 minutes on each mask followed by 5 minutes wash out interval between masks. EPAP levels will be 0, 2, 4, & 5 (5 minutes for each level) while IPAP remains at 5 higher than EPAP. FiCO2 and EtCO2 were collected at 4:00, 4:30 and 5:00 minute mark for each EPAP level. Also, subjective mask comfort was assessed via visual analog scale (VAS) with 1 referring to least comfortable and 5 being the most comfortable after 5 each EPAP setting. |
