Controlled Trial of External Negative Pressure Ventilation in Patients with Severe Chronic Airflow Obstruction

Abstract: The effect of intermittent external negative pressure ventilation (ENPV) with the Emerson Pulmowrap ventilator upon leg cycle endurance time (ET), maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdimax), breathing pattern as expressed by the tension time index (TTdi), and sense of well being was studied in 16 patients with severe chronic airflow obstruction (CAO). The patients were randomized to 3 wk of in-hospital pulmonary rehabilitation (Group I, seven patients) or the same program plus ENPV (Group II, nine patients).… Show more

“…The use of negative pressure devices at home and during sleep in patients with COPD has been largely unsuccessful [3,5]. In two controlled trials, patients were generally unable to sleep during negative pressure ventilation, and most either failed to complete the protocol because of lack of improvement or discomfort associated with the use of the equipment [5], or did not wish to continue treatment after the study was completed [3]. Negative pressure devices are cumbersome and relatively inefficient, particularly when the impedance to inflation is high, and may not be able to provide adequate ventilation during sleep.…”

“…On the basis of the hypothesis that chronic hypercapnia in severe COPD patients may be caused by an excessive load on the inspiratory muscles, several studies have evaluated the effects of NPV in terms of improvement in arterial blood gases, muscle function, and exercise performance [47,[53][54][55][56]. CROPP and DIMARCO [53] performed a short-term controlled study on patients with severe COPD.…”

“…Musculoskeletal pain and inconvenience when putting on the wrap were the most frequent complaints of patients. CELLI et al [55] studied the effects of NPV provided by pneumowrap on exercise endurance, maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure, and tension-time index of the diaphragm in 16 patients with severe COPD (Pa,CO 2= 5.9¡2.0 kPa (44¡9 mmHg)). After enrolment in the study and baseline measurements, patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups.…”

“…eucapnic) emphysematous patients. However, randomized trials failed to prove efficiency of this treatment and compliance was poor [24,25]. A previous controlled, randomized study [26] showed no beneficial effects on arterial blood gases, walking tests, level of dyspnoea, and quality of life in 184 COPD patients treated during 12 weeks with effective negative intermittent pressure ventilation by poncho, as compared to a sham ventilation with poncho.…”
