About this study

Official title: the Effect of HFNC Treatment on Mortality and Length of ICU Stay in Patient With COVID-19 Pneumonia

coronavirus disease 2019 related pneumonia is causing acute respiratory failure and this is the most common reason for ICU admission. We have several different way for respiratory support. HFNC is one of the new technics for oxygen support. Our main purpose to observe the effect of HFNC on coronavirus disease 2019 patients' ICU stay and mortality.

Read the detailed description

In the first group (group H), the data of patients undergoing HFNC treatment, and in group II (Group K), the data of patients who received COT with a reservoir mask were included.

In HFNC support, the current air temperature is 31-37 degrees, the flow rate is 30-60 lt / min, and the FiO2 value is targeted so that saturation is 93% and above. Initially, continuous treatment was applied intermittently after the partial oxygen pressure / fraction of inspired oxygen(fio2) ratio exceeded 250 and clinical well-being occurred.

In patients in Group K, fingertip saturation was targeted as 93% and above, and a COT was applied with a reservoir mask with a flow rate of 6-15 l / min.

The flow rate was calculated using the formula of FiO2 (%) = 21 + 4 * (liters / min) in patients undergoing COT. Noninvasive mechanical ventilation was applied to patients who could not be provided with adequate clinical and laboratory well-being in both groups (partial oxygen pressure / fraction of inspired oxygen ratio below 150) and invasive mechanical ventilation if this was insufficient.

What participants receive

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

  • high flow nasal cannula deviceDevice

    device is supplying oxygen with heated and humidified air in a high flow rate

Study groups in NCT04424836
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
H GROUPpatients get the oxygen supply with high flow nasal cannula . In group H, HFNC device settings the initial flow rate was 30 L/min and could be increased to 60. The Fio2 was adjusted to maintain oxygen saturation as indicated by a pulse oximetry reading of grater than or equal to %90.
Receives: Device: high flow nasal cannula device
C GROUPpatients get the oxygen supply with conventional methods. In group C 6-15 L/min oxygen delivered to patients by conventional methods and targeted to maintain the oxygen saturation %90 or over.

What is being measured

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

  1. short term mortality

    the mortality rate of patients

    Measured: in 28 days.

  2. icu stay

    means the stay day of patients in intensive care unit

    Measured: up to 28 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. blood gases

    partial oxygen pressure, partial carbon dioxide pressure . both measured in mmhg

    Measured: at the admission time and 24th hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronavirus Infection and Pneumonia, Viral, run by Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 16 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

short term mortality (time frame: in 28 days.). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04424836, which also lists 3 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.

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 16 Jul 2020.
