Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years old who are hospitalized in the ICU or emergency department and require noninvasive ventilation for at least two hours.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, have hemodynamic instability, or are under formalized ethical decisions to withhold life support may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This multicentric prospective randomized cross-over study evaluates the effectiveness of a closed-loop synchronization device compared to conventional synchronization methods in adult patients receiving noninvasive ventilation. The study involves monitoring patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) using both clinician-adjusted and standard pre-set values over specified time intervals. The IntelliSync+ software will be utilized to analyze waveform signals in real-time, allowing for immediate adjustments based on patient efforts. The goal is to determine if automatic synchronization improves patient outcomes without altering routine treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the effectiveness of noninvasive ventilation, leading to better respiratory support for patients with acute respiratory failure.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in improving patient-ventilator interactions, suggesting potential for success.
