There is one clinical trial.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a potential shortage of life-saving mechanical ventilators. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a novel simpler to device, the automated bag-valve-mask (BVM) compressor, can be used to provide assisted ventilation temporarily to patients in need. This includes patients with COVID-19 lung infection and respiratory failure. If successful, this would increase the pool of total available ventilator hours to alleviate any shortage.
Description: Arterial oxygenation obtained as measured by noninvasive pulse oximetry and arterial blood gas.
Measure: Arterial oxygenation Time: Measurement 10 minutes after onset of initial period of automatic compressed ventilationsDescription: Arterial oxygenation obtained as measured by noninvasive pulse oximetry and arterial blood gas.
Measure: Arterial oxygenation Time: Measurement 20 minutes after onset of second period of automatic compressed ventilationsDescription: Expired carbon dioxide (CO2) pressure will be measured continuously with a monitor in the airway circuit.
Measure: Expired pressure of carbon dioxide. Time: 2 hour total study period.Description: The pressure (cm H2O) of inspired and expired air in the airway circuit while the subject is mechanically ventilated will be measured continuously using a Nico monitor.
Measure: Airway pressure Time: 2 hour total study period.Description: Subject heart rate (beats per minute) will be measured continuously using a telemetry monitor,
Measure: Heart rate Time: 2 hour total study period.Description: Subject blood pressure (mm Hg) will be measured episodically every 5 minutes using an automated arm cuff.
Measure: Blood pressure Time: 2 hour total study period.Description: The flow (L/min) of inspired and expired air in the airway circuit while the subject is mechanically ventilated will be measured continuously using a Nico monitor.
Measure: Airway flow Time: 2 hour total study period.Description: The subject will be followed clinically to assess for recovery and survival or death.
Measure: Mortality Time: Duration of hospitalization, up to 2 months
