Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is to look for a correlation between the use of high-flow nasal cannula in the outpatient setting in patients with previous chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation and the change in their Breathlessness, Cough, and Sputum Scale score.

About this study

Official title: Effect of High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) on the Breathlessness, Cough, and Sputum Scale (BCSS), in Patients With Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The primary objective of this study is to look for a correlation between the use of high-flow nasal cannula in the outpatient setting in patients with previous chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation and the change in their Breathlessness, Cough, and Sputum Scale score. The hypothesis is that home use of high-flow nasal cannula will lead to a reduction in Breathlessness, Cough, and Sputum Scale score by 1.3.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective pilot study. Targeted population include patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , non-oxygen dependent, with a baseline normal bicarbonate on previous lab (within 6 months of enrollment). Patients will be randomly selected to be part of the study sample. Recruitment will occur in both inpatient and outpatient settings. An email briefly explaining the objectives of the study will be sent to Internal Medicine residents and Pulmonary Critical Care fellows to help in patients' recruitment. Patients will be enrolled in the study only after being seen by Dr. Abdo or Dr. Allen. The study is expected to finish by the end of January 2017 or twelve months post institutional review board approval. Patients will be recruited and enrolled over six months, and the collected data will be analyzed six months after the last patient was included in the study. The study will target a study sample of 30 as detailed in the statistical analysis section, where patients will be their own control (3 months without high-flow nasal cannula followed by 3 months with high-flow nasal cannula).

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in Breathlessness, Cough and Sputum Scale (BCSS)

    The Changes in Breathlessness, Cough and Sputum Scale (BCSS) is a three question measure consisting of three questions, each rated on a scale of "0" to "4", with a total possible score ranging from 0-12. Zero equals no difficulty and four equals severe difficulty or constant problem. A lower score on the scale is a better outcome.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Number of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbations Per Month

    The number of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations per month will be monitored throughout the study. A lower number of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations are considered improvement.

    Measured: 6 months
