Scientific titleNon-invasive ventilation (NIV) as an aid to rehabilitation in acute respiratory disease: A prospective, single-blind, randomised controlled trial
Study hypothesisWe wish to establish if it is feasible and effective to deliver NIV-assisted exercise, before the patient has recovered sufficiently to exercise in a conventional unassisted fashion, aiming to prevent loss of muscle function during acute admissions to hospital.
Ethics approval(s)Approved by South West London Research Ethics Committee 1 on the 1st of November 2010 (ref: 10-H0801-44)
ConditionAcute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
InterventionPatients will be randomised to one of three arms
1. Usual care
2. 1 hour per day of physiotherapy input including cycle exercise
3. 1 hour per day of exercise using NIV to support breathing
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureQuadriceps strength measured as quadriceps isometric maximum voluntary contraction force using a dynamometer at 2 weeks after discharge.
Secondary outcome measures1. COPD Assessment Test (CAT) score
2. St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ)
3. Physical activity monitored with SenseWear armband
4. Acceptability of treatment
5. Incremental shuttle walk test distance
All secondary outcomes will be assessed at baseline, discharge from hospital and 2 weeks post discharge.
