About this study

Official title: Retrospective Cohort Study of Patients With Type II (Hypercapnic) Respiratory Failure Treated With High-flow Oxygen Therapy Versus Non-invasive Ventilation With BiPAP

A retrospective cohort study of all patients treated for type II (hypercapnic) respiratory failure with either High-Flow Oxygen Therapy or Non-Invasive Ventilation in a general adult hospital.

Read the detailed description

We will compare various clinically relevant outcomes in patients treated for type II (hypercapnic) acute respiratory failure (ARF) with either High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) or Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) in a general adult hospital.

All patients treated with HFNC were treated with an Optiflow device (Fisher\&Paykel). Various Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) devices were used during the study period.

All ventilatory parameters were set according to the treating physicians' preferences.

What participants receive

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

  • Non-Invasive VentilationDevice

    Also called BiPAP

    Treatment with Non-Invasive Ventilation by BiPAP. Different BiPAP models are in use. Ventilation parameters set at the discretion of the treating physician.

  • High-Flow Nasal CannulaDevice

    Also called HFNC

    Treatment with a High-Flow Nasal Cannula. The Optiflow device by Fisher\&Paykel used in all cases. Flow and fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) parameters at the discretion of the treating physician.

Study groups in NCT03443479
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients with type II ARFAll patients with type II respiratory failure that were deemed by the treating physician to require ventilatory support either with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC).
Receives: Device: Non-Invasive Ventilation; Device: High-Flow Nasal Cannula

What is being measured

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

  1. Failure of initial treatment (combined outcome)

    Combined outcome of death or intubation or transition to another treatment modality or unplanned resumption of respiratory support

    Measured: 48 hours post intervention

  2. Death at 48h

    Mortality in the 48h following the initial intervention

    Measured: 48 hours post intervention

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mortality at 7d

    Incidence of death in the 7 days after intervention

    Measured: 7 days post intervention

  2. Incidence of endotracheal intubation

    The incidence of intubation

    Measured: For the whole length of hospital stay, up to a maximum of one year.

  3. Length of stay

    Duration of stay in the hospital, in days

    Measured: For the whole length of hospital stay, up to a maximum of one year.

  4. Duration of endotracheal intubation

    Duration (in hours) of the first episode of endotracheal intubation, immediately following the failed intervention

    Measured: For the whole length of hospital stay, up to a maximum of one year.

  5. Incidence of intervention change

    The incidence of patients who switch from Non-Invasive Ventilation to High-Flow Oxygen, and vice versa, due to treatment failure

    Measured: For the whole length of hospital stay, up to a maximum of one year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Respiratory Failure and Respiratory Insufficiency, run by Hôpital de Verdun at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 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 28 Jul 2020. 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 Canada. 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?

Failure of initial treatment (combined outcome) (time frame: 48 hours post intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Jul 2020.
