Recruiting NA De Novo Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure (hARF)

Compares treatment options for De Novo Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure (hARF)

Official title Impact on Mortality of a Strategy Including Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Plus High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy Versus High Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy Alone in Patients With de Novo Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06213168

What this study is testing

What it's testing
De novo hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (hARF) is one of the main causes of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In de novo hARF, intubation is associated with a dramatic increase in mortality rate.

Who can take part

Ages 18 and older

You may be able to join if

  • Adults (≥ 18 years old)
  • Admitted in the ICU for ≤ 24 hours
  • De novo hARF defined by the three following criteria:
  • Respiratory rate \> 25 breaths/min or signs of respiratory distress such as labored breathing or paradoxical inspiration
  • PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 200 mmHg under HFNC with flow ≥ 45 L/min, actual FiO2 being considered.

You likely can't join if

  • Refusal of study participation by the patient or the proxy
  • Anatomical factors precluding the use of a nasal cannula or CPAP
  • Long term oxygen
  • Home CPAP or NIV or CPAP or NIV initiated prior to ICU admission
  • Hypercapnia indicating NIV (PaCO2 \> 45 mmHg)
  • Isolated cardiogenic pulmonary oedema indicating NIV
