About this study

Official title: High Flow Nasal Cannula Versus Non Invasive Ventilation in Prevention of Intubbation in Immunocompromised Patient With Acute Hypoxxemic Respiratory Failure

This study will be conducted in Ain Shams University Hospital in the general intensive care unit after ethical committee approval number (FMASU R 9/2020) .It is a prospective randomized controlled study. Eligible patients will be randomized by computer system to one of two groups either High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) group or Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) group. Inclusion criteria includes admitted immunocompromised patients to our general 34 beds ICU with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (ARF).

Read the detailed description

ARF is characterized by respiratory rate more than 25/min, PaO2/FiO2 less than 300 under standard O2 10 L/min, or findings of persistent pulmonary infiltrates in radiographs.

Immunocompromised patients have one or more of the following criteria hematological malignancy (either active or remitting in the last 5 years), bone marrow transplantation (in the last 5 years), severe leucopenia less than 1000 white blood cells in cubic millimeter, solid organ transplantation, steroid therapy more than 0.5 mg/kg/day for at least 3 weeks, or cytotoxic therapy for non malignant disease.

Patients included in the study will be randomized after admission to ICU to one of two groups, HFNC group or NIV group. Patients enrolled in HFNC group will receive immediate connection to HFNC with a flow of 60L/min, and FIO2 adjusted to have SpO2 of 92% or more, through a heated humidifier and a oxygen blender of the same machine. In case of patient intolerance to high flow, flow will be diminished to the highest tolerated by the patient. Patients will be encouraged to have their mouth closed during HFNC to augment positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) created by high flow.NIV group, patients will be connected to ICU ventilator on NIV mode for at least 4 hours, through a NIV continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)mask with ventilator settings; pressure support (PS) level of 8 cmH2O and PEEP level of 5 cmH2O,which can be increased to 10 cmH2O

What is being measured

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

  1. primary outcome will be need for endotracheal intubation within 48 hours of admission

    Need for endotracheal intubation within 48 hours of admission to ICU

    Measured: 48 hours of patient admission to ICU.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. secondary outcome will be mortality rate after 28 days of admission.

    mortality rate after 28 days after patient admission to ICU.

    Measured: 28 days after patient admission to ICU.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Flow Nasal Cannula and Non Invasive Ventilation in people with High Flow Nasal Cannula and Non Invasive Ventilation, run by Ain Shams University.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Mar 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ashraf Elagamy, MD (002022470193, elagamy_ashraf@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

primary outcome will be need for endotracheal intubation within 48 hours of admission (time frame: 48 hours of patient admission to ICU.). 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 3 Mar 2020.
