About this study

Official title: Effect of Postextubation High-Flow Nasal Cannula vs Noninvasive Ventilation on Reintubation and Postextubation Respiratory Failure in Patients With Hypercapnic COPD,a Randomized Controlled Trial

To test if high-flow conditioned oxygen therapy is noninferior to NIV for preventing postextubation respiratory failure and reintubation in patients with hypercapnic COPD, investigators plan to conduct the participants level, 1:1 randomized trial at the respiratory ICU. Participants were randomized to undergo either high-flow conditioned oxygen therapy or noninvasive mechanical ventilation after extubation. Primary outcomes were reintubation and postextubation respiratory failure within 72 hours. Secondary outcomes included length of RICU stay after extubation and mortality; partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide.

What participants receive

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

  • High-FlowNasal CannulaDevice

    High-flowoxygenwas applied immediately after extubation through specific nasal cannula. Flow was initially set at 10 L/min and titrated upwards in 5-L/min steps until patients experienced discomfort.Temperature was initially set to 37°C, unless reported too hot by patients, and FIO2 was regularly adjusted to the target peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SPO2) of greater than 92%. After 24 hours, high-flow was stopped and, if necessary, patients received conventional oxygen therapy.

  • Noninvasive VentilationDevice

    Full face mask NIV was continuously delivered immediately after extubation for a scheduled period of 24 hours after extubation. Afterward, NIV was withdrawn and oxygen was administered by Venturi mask.Both PEEP and inspiratory pressure supportwere adjusted to target a respiratory rate of 25/min and adequate gas exchange (arterial oxygen saturation [SaO2] 92%, with pH of 7.35). The FIO2 was adjusted to maintain SPO2 at less than 92%. Sedatives to increase tolerance to NIV were not allowed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of reintubation

    The proportion of patients requiring reintubation within 72 hours after extubation

    Measured: Within 72 hours after extubation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. RICU length of stay after extubation

    Length of time from extubation to discharging from the RICU

    Measured: From date of extubation until the date of discharging from the RICU up to 28 days

  2. Mortality

    Mortality after extubation

    Measured: Within 28 days after extubation

  3. Partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide

    Partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide tested at the appointed time

    Measured: Within 24 hours before extubation and within 72 hours after extubation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High-FlowNasal Cannula and Noninvasive Ventilation in people with High-Flow Nasal Cannula and COPD, run by Xiangya Hospital of Central South University 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 26 Apr 2019. 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?

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?

Rate of reintubation (time frame: Within 72 hours after extubation). 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 26 Apr 2019.
