About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) vs Facemask CPAP for Treatment of Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema In The Emergency Department

This study objectively held to compare the physiological outcomes in the non-invasive (NIV) treatment of Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema (ACPE) patients in the Emergency Department (ED) delivered by helmet CPAP (hCPAP) and facemask CPAP (fCPAP).Patients will be randomized to receive either hCPAP or fCPAP.

Read the detailed description

Non-invasive ventilation(NIV) has different types of interfaces that had been used in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The appropriate interface is necessary to provide comfort and lead to the success of NIV.

NIV delivered via facemask had been used widely. However, it was associated with leaks and discomfort to the patient.

Helmet continuous positive airway pressure (hCPAP) is an NIV interface that allows the provision of high airway pressures with a minimal leak.

What is being measured

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

  1. Respiratory Rate

    Respiratory rate change post intervention

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Heart Rate

    Heart rate change post intervention

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. Partial Pressure of Arterial Oxygen Level

    Partial arterial oxygen level post intervention

    Measured: 1 hour

  3. Ratio Of Partial Pressure Arterial Oxygen And Fraction Of Oxygen

    Partial arterial oxygen/fraction of oxygen ratio change post intervention

    Measured: 1 hour

  4. Dyspnea Scale

    Dyspnea scale improvement post intervention.Dyspnea scale measured using an unmarked 100mm VAS card that had mark with "I can breathe normally", at one end correspond to patients' normal baseline breathing which score "0" and on the other end "I can't breathe at all", which score "100" represent the worst difficulty perceived by patients.

    Measured: 1 hour

  5. Partial Pressure of Arterial Carbon Dioxide level

    Partial Pressure of Arterial Carbon Dioxide level change post intervention.

    Measured: 1 hour

  6. Rate of Intubation

    Intubation rate post intervention

    Measured: 1 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing hCPAP vs fCPAP in people with Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema, run by Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun.

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 1 inclusion and 15 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 17 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Respiratory Rate (time frame: 1 hour). 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 17 Mar 2025.
