Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Mechanically ventilated patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are highly susceptible to sleep disruption. Several studies in the last 15 years have demonstrated an extremely poor sleep quality and abnormal sleep pattern evaluated by polysomnography (PSG) devices (the gold standard method for evaluating sleep quality and quantity). Discontinuation of mechanical ventilation should be considered as soon as possible when a patient's condition starts to improve. A patient's ability to be weaned from the mechanical ventilator can be assessed using two step approaches including a Rapid Shallow Breathing Index (RSBI) calculation then a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) to determine the likelihood of success or failure before considering endotracheal extubation. The rate of weaning failure from the first SBT attempt has been reported to be 35-55%. The reason for weaning failure may be complex and multifactorial. An association between sleep disruption and weaning outcome has never been studied. The goal of this study is to look for an association between poor sleep quality and failure of a weaning attempt.

This study is an observational, physiological study investigating sleep quality and quantity in patients who will be weaned by recording standard PSG (from 17:00 to 08:00) at night before a weaning attempt. Sleep characteristics of patients failing or passing the weaning attempt will be compared. In addition, we will compare sleep patterns before and after endotracheal extubation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This clinical physiological study will take place over a period of 2-14 days, depending on the participant.

Assessment of the readiness to wean using RSBI calculation and an SBT are standard practice in the ICU, and the decision to perform one is made by the ICU team. They are usually performed in the morning between 08:00 and 10:00. The RSBI calculation will be performed by disconnecting the patient from the ventilator for 2-3 minutes and then measuring the breathing frequency and average tidal volume for 1 minute. A value of the RSBI index \< 100-105 breaths/min×L predicts a possible successful SBT. The SBT will be performed using flow-by technique (Pressure Support (PS)/Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) 0/0 cmH2O) for 30 to 120 minutes and at a Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FiO2) below 0.5 when the RSBI index \< 100-105 breaths/min×L. A T-piece trial gives the most reliable assessment of weaning capability, but it is often reserved for the most challenging patients. Using flow-by (PS/CPAP 0/0 cmH2O) will give a similar indication of weaning capability in comparison to T-piece, but will allow the Respiratory Therapists to keep the same equipment and to monitor tidal volume and minute ventilation throughout the test. During the SBT, respiratory and hemodynamic parameters will be continuously monitored. Determining the success or failure of the SBT will be performed by the clinical team. For patients who pass the SBT, the decision for extubation is made by the ICU clinical team independently from this study. For the purpose of the study, a daily screening will be performed each afternoon by the Respiratory Therapist to identify patients who will have a RSBI calculation and an SBT the following day.

On the night prior to the planned weaning assessment, sleep architecture will be recorded using standard PSG (electroencephalography, right and left electrooculography, submental electromyography and electrocardiography) from 17:00 to 8:00. Pulse oximetry (SpO2) and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) or transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PtcCO2) will be recorded continuously during the PSG.

For patients who pass the RSBI index and SBT and are extubated successfully, PSG recording will be repeated that night. If the patient passes the SBT but is not extubated, we will wait for a new extubation attempt within the next 48 hours. If extubation is performed within the next 48 hours, PSG recording will be repeated the night of extubation. If extubation is further delayed, no PSG will be performed.

For patients who fail the 1st RSBI or fail the 1st SBT, PSG recording will be repeated the night before the next weaning attempt and the night of extubation if it happens within a maximum of two weeks from the 1st SBT.

Assessment of delirium will be performed using the Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) twice daily (at 08:00 and 18:00) from day 0 until extubation.
