About this study

Official title: Post-extubation High-flow Nasal Oxygen vs. Conventional Oxygen in Patients Recovered From Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure for Preventing Extubation Failure

Patients intubated due to acute respiratory failure have a high risk of infectious complications, airway injuries and multiple organic failure, so performing a successful extubation from mechanical ventilation is key. Between 10 and 20% of patients develop extubation failure, which is related to an increased in-hospital death rate, infections, higher costs and longer hospital stays. High-flow nasal oxygen therapy delivers heated, humidified air at flows up to 60L/min, and an oxygen concentration close to 100%, providing a fresh air reservoir at the naseo-pharyngeal level, evening out the peak inspiratory flow rate of the patient, improving air conductance, promoting secretion management, increasing end-expiratory lung volume, and applying a positive end-expiratory pressure. Such effects result in decreased breathing work, dyspnea relief, improved use tolerance, increased oxygenation, and lower fraction of inspired oxygen in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. High-flow oxygen therapy has recently been described to decrease extubation failure in a group of patients classified with low failure risk, in comparison to Venturi mask, and it was not inferior to non-invasive mechanical ventilation in high risk patients. However, it is worth pointing out that a large percentage of the patients included in such studies did not develop acute respiratory failure primarily.

Given the beneficial effects described above, the investigators hypothesize that high-flow nasal oxygen therapy decreases the risk of extubation failure in a group of patients that required invasive mechanical ventilation due to primary acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Read the detailed description

Intubated patients recovering from primary acute hypoxemic respiratory failure who have passed a spontaneous breathing trial will be included in the study. Following extubation, patients will be randomized assigned to one of two study groups. Heart rate, breathing rate, median arterial pressure, FiO2, SpO2, and dyspnea and comfort levels will be measured at defined intervals after extubation (basal, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours). An arterial blood gas test will be performed 60 minutes and 24 hours after extubation. The number of patients fulfilling certain preset criteria regarding extubation failure will be determined.

Extubation failure shall be defined as the need for using invasive mechanical ventilation again within two days following extubation based on the criteria below:

  • Breathing rate over 25 breaths per minute for more than two hours.
  • Heart rate above 140 beats per minute or with a sustained increase or decrease greater than 20%.
  • Clinical data showing fatigue of the respiratory muscles or an increase in breathing work.
  • SaO2 <90%; PaO2 <80 mmHg with a FiO2 > 50%.
  • Hypercapnia (PaCO2 >45 mmHg or >20% compared to the value before extubation) with a pH below 7.33.

Patients who do not fulfill the extubation failure criteria after the first 48 hours of admission may receive extra supplementary oxygen through any device (e.g., nasal cannula, face mask, reservoir mask, etc.). Every day, SpO2 will be measured and the moment when the patient reaches SpO2 >94% with no need for oxygen will be determined.

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?

Post-extubation failure (time frame: First 48 hours). 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 NCT03361683, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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.
