About this study

Official title: Wean Early With High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation Versus Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: a Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Trial (the WHEN Study)

The main purpose of the present study is to verify whether, as compared with conventional weaning, early weaning with high-flow nasal cannula oxygenation or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation may more effective in shortening the duration of invasive ventilation, hence reducing the rates of complications and mortality in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Being tested
High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation, Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation, Conventional weaning

What participants receive

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

  • High-Flow Nasal Cannula OxygenationDevice

    High-flow nasal cannula oxygenation will be applied immediately after early extubation, with a gas flow rate of 50 liters per minute and a fraction of inspired oxygen of 1.0 at initiation. The fraction of inspired oxygen will be subsequently adjusted to maintain a peripheral oxygen saturation of 92% or more.

  • Noninvasive Positive Pressure VentilationDevice

    Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation will be applied immediately after early extubation, with a noninvasive ventilator (Respironics V60, Philips) using the NIPSV mode at initiation. The fraction of inspired oxygen will be adjusted to achieve SpO2 >92% with an initial expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) of 4 cmH2O. EPAP will be increased gradually in increments of 1-2 cmH2O, up to a maximum of 12 cmH2O, to achieve SpO2 >96%. Inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) will be initially set at 8 cmH2O and be increased gradually in increments of 1-2 cmH2O according to patients' tolerance to obtain a tidal volume (VT) of 6-8 mL/kg.

  • Conventional weaningDevice

    The patients will undergo conventional weaning protocol. Extubation and subsequent oxygen therapy with venturi mask will be performed after successful spontaneous trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygenation, Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation and Conventional weaning in people with Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure, run by Beijing Chao Yang Hospital at 1 site in 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 4 inclusion and 11 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 2 Jul 2021. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Zujin Luo, MD (10-86-51718564, xmjg2002@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (time frame: 2.5 years). 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 2 Jul 2021.
