Eligibility:

All Genders

18-80 years

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

Although the negative impact of sleep apnea on the clinical course of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is well known, data regarding non-invasive ventilation in acute patients are scarce. Several studies s...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male and female patients 18 - 80 years;
  • Clinical suspicion of an AIS (measurable or fluctuating neurological deficit with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale \[NIHSS\] ≥ 4 points) within 24 hours from symptom-onset;
  • Extracranial (internal carotid artery) or intracranial (internal carotid artery; middle/anterior/posterior cerebral arteries) ≥ 50% stenosis, near-occlusion or occlusion diagnosed by ultrasound, computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), corresponding to acute neurological deficit;
  • High-risk of having sleep apnea (classified by the Berlin sleep apnea questionnaire); or history of known sleep apnea; or witnessed repetitive apnea episodes during sleep or somnolence during hospitalization;
  • Written informed consent by participants; alternatively by proxy or two physicians when not obtainable by patient or proxy (according to local regulations).

Exclusion

  • Perceived course towards the malignant middle cerebral artery infarction;
  • Immediate or perceived need for intubation;
  • Known sleep apnea currently on non-invasive ventilatory treatment;
  • Standard contraindications for non-invasive ventilatory treatment;
  • Pre-morbid modified Rankin scale (mRS) score ≥ 3;
  • Severe comorbidities (i.e., severe heart failure, severe obstructive lung disease, active malignant disease, severe dementia);
  • Pregnant and breast feeding women;
  • Participation in another clinical trial other than standard-of-care registry.
