BACKGROUND: Patient-triggered adaptive pressure control (APC) continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV) (APC-CMV) has been widely adopted as an alternative ventilator mode to patient-triggered volume control (VC) CMV (VC-CMV). However, the comparative effectiveness of the 2 ventilator modes remains uncertain. We sought to explore clinical and implementation factors pertinent to a future definitive randomized controlled trial assessing APC-CMV versus VC-CMV as an initial ventilator mode strategy. The research objectives in our pilot trial tested clinician adherence and explored clinical outcomes.

METHODS: In a single-center pragmatic sequential cluster crossover pilot trial, we enrolled all eligible adults with acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation admitted during a 9-week period to the medical ICU. Two-week time epochs were assigned a priori in which subjects received either APC-CMV or VC-CMV The primary outcome of the trial was feasibility, defined as 80% of subjects receiving the assigned mode within 1 h of initiation of ICU ventilation. The secondary outcome was proportion of the first 24 h on the assigned mode. Finally, we surveyed clinician stakeholders to understand potential facilitators and barriers to conducting a definitive randomized trial.

RESULTS: We enrolled 137 subjects who received 152 discreet episodes of mechanical ventilation during time epochs assigned to APC-CMV (n = 61) and VC-CMV (n = 91). One hundred and thirty-one episodes were included in the prespecified primary outcome. One hundred and twenty-six (96%) received the assigned mode within the first hour of ICU admission (60 of 61 subjects assigned APC-CMV and 66 of 70 assigned VC-CMV). VC-CMV subjects spent a lower proportion of first 24 h (84% [95% CI 78-89]) on the assigned mode than APC-CMV recipients (95% [95% CI 91-100]). Mixed-methods analyses identified preconceived perceptions of subject comfort by clinicians and need for real-time education to address this concern.

CONCLUSIONS: In this pilot pragmatic, sequential crossover trial, unit-wide allocation to a ventilator mode was feasible and acceptable to clinicians.
