Clinical Trial: CPAP Versus Bilevel Pressure Support Ventilation in Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: CPAP Boussignac Versus Bilevel Pressure Support Ventilation in Severe Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Brief Summary: To evaluate whether bilevel positive airway pressure more rapidly improves ventilation than continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with acute pulmonary edema. CPAP is delivered via a simple device connected to oxygen.
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University Hospital, Rouen
Current Primary Outcome: Improvement in PaCO2 at the end of ventilation
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Endotracheal intubation, myocardial infarction and mortality during the first 24 hours
- Duration of the ventilation
- Blood gases, vital signs
- Time to transfer to medical ward
- Time to hospital discharge
- Easiness to use was evaluated by nurses
- Patients operational tolerance
- Complications of each ventilation mode
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
