Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designRandomised cross over study
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectivesAuto variable positive pressure ventilation is as efficiacious as standard positve pressure ventilation
Ethics approval(s)Huntingdon research ethics committee on 27/10/2005 (ref: 05/Q0104/118)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
InterventionThere are two groups: the first will receive either auto variable positive airway pressure ventilation (auto VPAP) and the second group will receive standard non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). After eight weeks the two groups will cross over. The patients will be randomised to start on either auto VPAP or NIPPV. The control group is the group receiving standard NIPPV.
