About this study

Official title: Effects of High Flow Nasal Canula on Moderate and Severe Respiratory Failure Patients

Respiratory failure is the danger for the patients admitted in ICU, mechanical ventilation could save a lot of patients' life, however, it prolongs patients' ICU stay and hospital stay. High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has advantages of PEEP effects, reducing dead space, increasing EELV and improving comfort, and it has been used to treat respiratory failure patients. In recent study, HFNC could improve mortality of respiratory failure patients with P/F<200mmHg in the subgroup. The investigators want to start a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effects of HFNC on the patients with respiratory failure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HFNC and NIV in people with Respiratory Failure, run by Southeast University, China.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

intubation rate on 28 days (time frame: up to 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Feb 2016.
