Brief Summary

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

Primary Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness in the obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) treatment with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) set manually by polysomnography compared to the same treatment with a respirator with automatic NIV adjustment, analyzing as primary variable PaCO2 and as operational variables dropout rate for medical reasons and mortality. Secondary objectives: cost-effectiveness, clinical and functional improvement in wakefulness and during sleep, quality of life, blood pressure monitoring for 24 hours, incidence and evolution of cardiovascular events and use of health resources. Other objectives: 1) effectiveness of treatments in the following subgroups of patients: gender, age, socioeconomic status, severity of sleep apnea, VNI compliance, quality of life and comorbidities; 2) To evaluate the profile of patients with poor adherence to NIV based on clinical severity, gender, age and socioeconomic status in the whole sample and in both intervention groups.

Detailed Description

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

Method: Prospective, blind researchers, randomized, controlled non-inferiority and cost-effectiveness relationship, with two parallel open groups. 200 OHS patients will be divided into two groups by simple randomization 1:1 and followed for one year. The premise of non-inferiority is -2 at the lower limit of the confidence interval 95% for the change in PCO2 between the arms being assessed by analysis of covariance, adjusted for 2-sided, age, sex, body mass index in intention-to-treat and per-protocol analysis. The cost-effectiveness will be performed by Bayesian techniques with sensitivity analysis.

Participants Investigators
Two investigators (named Investigator 1 and Investigator 2) participate in each center, with different tasks. Investigator 1 is responsible of randomization and will be aware of the study group assigned to the patient. Investigator 2 will collect in each visit health resource utilization, specific and QoL tests and laboratory test results. Investigator 2 does not know the study arm.

Patients will not be informed about the ventilator settings and the menu of the ventilator will be locked, so they cannot access to ventilator data.

Study Groups

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

Manual

In this group non invasive mechanical ventilation will be manually titrated during a polysomnography. The Philips A40 ventilator will be used in Spontaneous-Timed (ST) mode.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Manual Non invasive ventilation titration

Intervention Type DEVICE

Manual Group: during a complete polysomnography, adding transcutaneous capnography and the basic ventilators curves, the ventilators setting will be adjusted in order to correct respiratory events and patient-ventilator asyncrony. A 10 hours face-to-face investigator training meeting is programmed before opening the inclusion period.

Automatic

In this group the ventilator will run in an automatic mode (AVAPS) with the same Phillips A40 ventilator.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Automatic Non invasive ventilation titration

Intervention Type DEVICE

Automatic Group: the A40 ventilator in the automatic AVAPS mode will be adjusted in order to achieve 8-10 ml/kg of ideal weight.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome defined by obesity (IMC≥30) and Hypercapnic respiratory failure (PCO 2\> 45 mm Hg) in stable phase (PH≥7.35 without clinical signs of worsening in at least one previous month).
2. Age between 18-80 years.
3. Absence of other diseases causing hypercapnia as moderate or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (FEV1\> 70% predicted if FEV1 / FVC \<70), neuromuscular, thoracic wall or metabolic disease; d) Absence of narcolepsy or restless legs syndrome.
4. Overcome correctly a 30 minutes test of treatment with VNI in wakefulness.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Psychophysical disability for questionnaires.
2. Patients who cannot be evaluated by quality of life questionnaires because they present debilitating chronic disease.
3. Chronic nasal obstruction that prevents the use of NIV.
4. Pregnancy.
5. No informed consent obtained.
