COPD Exacerbation, Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

Keywords

COPD exacerbation, Sevoflurane, Airway Resistance

Brief summary

Prospective, open-label, single-center, study to investigate the effect of sevoflurane sedation compared to a propofol-controlled arm during COPD exacerbation requiring invasive mechanical ventilation in ICU. Primary outcome measure: Evolution of airway resistance before and after sevoflurane in COPD patients, Secondary outcomes measures: Respiratory mechanics (Maximum pressure, PEEPi and PEEPtot, trapped volume), Gas exchange by the help of blood gases, The heterogeneity of alveolar ventilation by electro-impedancemetry, Evolution of pulmonary inflammation, Trophicity and contractility of the diaphragm,

Interventions

DRUGSevoflurane

During the first 30 minutes after randomization, patients will be treated with propofol (same dosage as the propofol group). Once the AnaConDa® system is installed, sevoflurane administration will begin (propofol is stopped).

DRUGPropofol

In the control group, sedation will be maintained with the above objective (RASS between -4 and -5, BIS between 40 and 60) until the patient is extubated. In the sevoflurane group, propofol is administrated during the first 30 minutes after the randomization and when the AnaConDa® system is installed propofol is stopped.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evolution of airway resistance before and after sevoflurane in COPD patientsHour 48Total airway resistance will be measured using the ventilator by setting a 5s inspiratory pause and to measure the sum of (Pmax-P1)/Flow + (P1-Pplat)/Flow. The mechanical ventilation setting will be standardised during the study period and will be similar between the two groups.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
PEEPiEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
PEEPtotEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
Trapped volumeEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
Maximum pressureEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
Heterogeneity of alveolar ventilation by electro-impedancemetryEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
Proinflammatory cytokines (IL1, IL6, TNFalpha) and sRAGE measurements in miniBroncho-Alveolar lavagesEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
Thickness of the diaphragm measured by ultrasoundEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
Gas exchange by the help of blood gasesEvolution between Hour 0 and Hour 48
