Study Comparing Two Ventilation Modes NAVA (Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist) Mode and Spontaneous Breathing With Inspiratory Pressure Support (IPS) Mode in Consecutive Patients Hospitalized for Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Mechanical Ventilation With Endotracheal Tube.

ZEPHYR: Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label Study in Consecutive Patients Hospitalized for Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Mechanical Ventilation With Endotracheal Tube. This Study Compared Two Ventilation Modes: NAVA Mode and Spontaneous Breathing With Inspiratory Pressure Support (the Latter is Considered as the Reference Ventilation Mode).

Conditions

Acute Respiratory Failure

Brief summary

This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label study which compared two ventilation modes: spontaneous NAVA mode and spontaneous breathing with IPS mode (the latter is considered as the reference ventilatory mode) in patients admitted to the ICU for acute respiratory failure and ventilated with an endotracheal tube. NAVA mode allows to minimize patient-ventilator disharmony with acceptable tolerance and to preserve spontaneous ventilation.

Inclusion criteria

* Patient ventilated with endotracheal tube for more than 24 hours * Return for at least 30 minutes to spontaneous ventilation allowing IPS with a level of pressure support \<30 cm H2O; * Level of sedation =\< 4 on the Ramsay scale in the absence of medical decision to increase the level of sedation; * Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) =\< 50% with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) =\< 8 cm H2O; * Absence of administration of high-dose vasopressor therapy defined by: 1. norepinephrine \> 0.3 mcg / kg / min; 2. dopamine \> 10 mcg / kg / min; * Estimated duration of mechanical ventilation \> 48h00

Exclusion criteria

* Contraindication to the implementation of the NAVA endotracheal tube, ie any contraindication to the implementation of a gastric tube or to the repositioning of a tube already in place: 1. Recent gastrointestinal suture ; 2. Esophageal varices rupture with gastrointestinal bleeding within 4 days prior to inclusion; * Therapeutic limitation or active treatment discontinuation; * Pregnant women; * Minors; * Protected adults; * Patient already included in the study;

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate the benefit of NAVA mode as compared to IPS mode in terms of duration of spontaneous ventilation 48 hours after inclusion.Continuous recording during 48 hours following the intubationThe time spent in different modes of spontaneous ventilation (NAVA, IPS) and controlled ventilation (VAC controlled pressure) will be measured. The primary endpoint will be the proportion of patients remaining in spontaneous ventilation after the first 48 hours.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Reduction of patient / ventilator disharmony, measured during the first 48 hours with the disharmony indexContinuous recording during the first 48 hours
Real-time spent in NAVA mode and frequency of returns in a controlled mode (controlled ventilation VAC).Continuous recording during the first 48 hoursFeasibility of the initiation of mechanical ventilation in NAVA mode and feasibility of prolonged mechanical ventilation in NAVA mode
Earnings on the breathing comfortContinuous recording during the first 48 hours
Earnings on sleep architectureContinuous recording during the first 48 hoursTotal sleep time; Number of arousals per hour; Duration of stage IV sleep ; Duration of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep.
ToleranceContinuous for the duration of ICU stay, an expected maximum of 14 days* Adverse events associated with the use of the device. * Incidence of ventilator-acquired pneumonia. * Duration of ICU stay. * Duration of hospital stay. * Mortality in the ICU. * Hospital mortality.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number and duration of automatic switch into IPS modeContinuous recording until extubation or D14 maximum
Number of Permanent discontinuation of NAVA ventilation modeContinuous recording during the first 48 hours
Comfort of the device measured by a visual analog scale.At the extubation or at D14 maximumTolerance of the device
Side effects associated with the use of the systemContinuous for the duration of ICU stay, an expected maximum of 14 daysDevice movements Endotracheal tube obstruction Lesion of the oral or nasal mucosa
Number of implementation failure of the NAVA endotracheal tube.For each patient, the success or failure of the endotracheal tube implementation will be evaluated, this for the entire duration of the study estimated to 18 months
