An observational study in Respiratory Failure Requiring Non Invasive Ventilation, sponsored by University of Lausanne Hospitals. Completed at 1 site in Switzerland. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-06-09.
Sponsored by University of Lausanne Hospitals · Observational
The practices and processes related to the administration of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in the adult intensive care unit (ICU) of the University hospital of Lausanne will be recorded by an investigator at the bedside. The effect of the NIV treatment on various respiratory parameters ( respiratory rate, expired tidal volume, minute ventilation) will also be recorded using a pneumotachograph. Finally patient's comfort during NIV treatment will be evaluated.
1,650 studies on the registry are indexed under Respiratory Insufficiency; 296 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is below the median of 100 across 545 observational studies indexed under Respiratory Insufficiency.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Adult patients hospitalized in the CHUV intensive care unit who require non invasive ventilation because of respiratory failure.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients requiring NIV because of acute respiratory failure
Documentation of practices and processes related to NIV treatment
Documentation of practices and processes related to NIV administration in the adult intensive care unit(type of ventilator used, type of interface chosen, initial settings, organization of the care team and interactions between caregivers).
Patient's Respiratory comfort
Patient's respiratory comfort during NIV will be assessed both by the patients themselves with a visual analogic scale and by the investigator.
Ventilatory parameters
Tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time and maximal and mean airway pressure will be measured from the continuous recording of airway pressure and flow obtained with a pneumotachograph.
