Brief Summary

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

Development and validation of a new affordable and easy-to-use phrenic nerve stimulation tool for diaphragm strength assessment in intensive care unit

Detailed Description

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

In intensive care unit, various forms of sepsis, undernutrition, surgery, global inflammation, iatrogeny, and mechanical ventilation, contribute to the overall muscular involvement including the diaphragm.

Assessment of diaphragm dysfunction is a critical issue for patients under mechanical ventilation, providing prognosis information and leading to the best therapeutic choices.

Up to now, for sedated ventilated critical care patient, expensive magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation equipment is needed to evaluate diaphragm strength.

In this study, the investigators aim to develop an affordable easy-to-use phrenic nerve stimulation tool, with ultrasonography and a nerve stimulator usually used for neuromuscular transmission monitoring. Hypothesis is that phrenic pacing using this new method is equivalent to the Gold Standard.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

Each patient, serving as their own control, receives both types of phrenic nerve stimulation : magnetic stimulation and electric stimulation. The order is randomized. For avoid a carry-over effect (diaphragm potentiation), a wash-out period of 15 minutes will be respected between the two type of stimulation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Magnetic stimulation and electric stimulation

The patient receive first the magnetic stimulation with MagStim 200 tool. Then 15 min after he will receive the electric stimulation with the SonoStim tool : ultrasonography phrenic nerve tracking and targeted electric stimulation with a nerve stimulator usually used for neuromuscular transmission monitoring (TOFScan, Drager)
