About this study

Official title: Physiologic Effects of High Flow Nasal Therapy in Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

The aim of the study is to assess, in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, the short term physiologic effects of the high flow oxygen nasal therapy (Optiflow), in term of inspiratory muscle effort, gas exchange, comfort and dyspnea

Read the detailed description

The administration of a known concentration of oxygen is an important part of routine care of the patient admitted in intensive care unit for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. A new high flow oxygen delivery system (Fisher and Paykel Health care) has been developed (Optiflow). The system used a heated humidifier and heated breathing circuit via a nasal interface. High flow nasal therapy (Optiflow) is associated with the generation of significant positive airway pressure in healthy volunteers. Positive expiratory pressure may have a number of benefits in respiratory failure which include improved ventilation/perfusion matching with improved oxygenation, reduced airways resistance and reduced work of breathing. Moreover high flow nasal therapy may improve oxygen administration by decreasing oxygen dilution, decreasing death space and using high levels of humidification

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • O2standProcedure or surgery

    Standard low flow oxygen therapy (O2stand). The patients will receive oxygen delivered through a face mask. The FiO2 will be adjusted in order to obtain a SaO2 > 90%. The FiO2 will be determined by a portable oxygen analyzer (MiniOX I; Mine Safety Appliances Co, Pittsburgh, Pa)

  • CPAPProcedure or surgery

    • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). CPAP will be set at 7.5 cmH2O. Airway humidification will be achieved by using a heated humidifier (MR640; Fisher \& Paykel, Auckland, NZ). The FiO2 will be adjusted in order to obtain a SaO2 > 90%. A facial mask composed of a transparent mask and a soft inflatable will be used
  • OptiflowProcedure or surgery

    High flow oxygen nasal therapy (Optiflow). The flow will be set at 40l/min. The inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2) will be adjusted in order to obtain a SaO2 > 90%

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Inspiratory muscle effort : oesophageal pressure (Poes) and the oesophageal pressure time product (PTPoes)

    Measured: Every 30 minutes for 90 minutes

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Gas exchange :PaO2/FiO2 ratio

    Measured: Every 30 minutes for 90 minutes

  2. Comfort assessed using a five-item semi quantitative scale

    Measured: Every 30 minutes for 90 minutes

  3. Dyspnea assessed using a visual analogic scale

    Measured: Every 30 minutes for 90 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing O2stand, CPAP and Optiflow in people with Respiratory Failure, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inspiratory muscle effort : oesophageal pressure (Poes) and the oesophageal pressure time product (PTPoes) (time frame: Every 30 minutes for 90 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01056952, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jun 2012.
