Comparison of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for extubated patients who fail a single spontaneous breathing trial vs conventional weaning
ISRCTN ISRCTN32810409
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Comparison of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for extubated patients who fail a single spontaneous breathing trial vs conventional weaning
Scientific title
Acronym NEXT
Serial number at source N0046182290
Study hypothesis The aim of this prospective randomised controlled study is to determine if patients who are attached to a breathing machine (ventilator) by a tube in the mouth who are unable to breathe unaided (invasive ventilation) can be safely removed from the ventilator and maintained with ventilation via a face mask (noninvasive ventilation) for approximately 24 hours before withdrawal of NIV support.
Ethics approval Added September 2008: East Birmingham Local Research Ethical Committee (UK) Reference number 06/Q2703/19, May 2006.
Study design Randomised controlled trial
Countries of recruitment United Kingdom
Disease/condition/study domain Respiratory: Positive pressure ventilation
Participants - inclusion criteria 1. Patients will need to meet the criteria for reducing breathing support - will not be weaned until physiologically ready.
2. Patients will have to be on a breathing machine attached to a tube in the mouth for at least 48 hours - patients who are on a breathing machine for <48 hours are not seen as difficult to wean from a ventilator
3. Age > 18 years - patient should be able to make own legal judgements to treatment
4. Written informed consent obtained - unethical to carry out study without consent
5. Failed an attempt to try breathing without help - study only being carried out on people who have difficulty with weaning
Participants - exclusion criteria Added September 2008:
1. Patients who are generally not suitable for noninvasive ventilationGrade III/IV intubation
2. Gastric/oesophageal surgery on this admission
3. Patients who it has been decided would not be for re-intubation once extubated
