Official title
Randomized Controlled Cross-Over Pilot Study of the Effectiveness of the Vector NIV Device in Hypercapnic COPD Patients With Expiratory Flow Limitation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the modified Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) A40 with Vector Algorithm to treat Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients with excessive carbon dioxide in their bloodstream (hypercapnia) and expiratory flow limitation (EFL), a constriction of the lower airways. The study will include current users of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) as well as those who are not currently using an NIV device.
