About this study

Official title: High Flow Nasal Cannula With Noninvasive Ventilation and Its Effect on High Risk Trauma Patients

This is a prospective, randomized, unblinded trial of trauma patients in the ICU who are identified as being at a high risk to develop acute respiratory failure.

We hope that this study will help the study team to identify how best to use a more aggressive respiratory treatment strategy in a high risk trauma population (thoracic trauma or trauma patients requiring thoracic surgery, spine surgery, or open abdominal procedures) to try and decrease the need for intubation with mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

All patients consented will be randomly assigned into one of three groups: nasal cannula (control group, our current standard of care), high-flow nasal cannula, high-flow nasal cannula plus noninvasive ventilation.

After obtaining consent, patient will be randomized to interventions 1:1:1 within each of two groups: patients admitted to the ICU without being intubated OR intubated patients undergoing an extubation.

Randomization will be managed through RedCap. After consent, the treating clinician will log into RedCap to obtain the patient's treating assignment.

The primary outcome of interest is failure of conservative ventilation intervention in prevention of initial intubation or prevention of reintubation.

A chart review of all enrolled patients will be done quarterly to assess morbidity, mortality, and outcomes.

No placebo will be used as all qualifying patients will be placed on nasal cannula, high-flow nasal cannula, or high-flow nasal cannula plus noninvasive ventilation. All other treatments will be standard of care.

Participants in the study will continue until the patient is discharged from the trauma ICU.

The study will end when the last person enrolled has been discharged from the trauma ICU. If patient's participation ends prematurely, available data will be entered into the database and evaluated appropriately.

This study will take place at the OU Medical Center (OUMC) among patients admitted to the Trauma Intensive Care Unit.

Consent for study enrollment will take place at OUMC during discussion with physician providing trauma care and the patient, family member, or next of kin consenting for the study.

The following data will be collected and recorded: Supplemental oxygen requirements, Date/Time of arrival, Date/Time of Admission to ICU, Date/Time of intubation procedure, Date/Time of extubation, Ventilator settings, Duration of intubation, Comorbidities, PaCO2 values, PaO2 values, Vital signs at arrival and at admission to ICU, Age,Gender, Weight, Height, BMI, Traumatic injuries, Diagnosis, Past medical history/medical co-morbidities, Glasgow coma scale, Oxygen saturation, Negative inspiratory force score, Rapid shallow breathing index score, Pulmonary treatments, including an intolerance to therapy, Injury Severity Score (ISS) and/or Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS).

What participants receive

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

  • Standard of Care - Nasal CannulaOther

    Standard of care. Flexible tube to provide extra oxygen when patients need a little help, but are not in respiratory distress.

  • High-flow nasal cannulaOther

    Also called HFNC

    Same as nasal cannula, except the oxygen is heated or humidified and the flow is stronger, pushing air into the lungs to help keep the airway open.

  • HFNC plus non-invasive ventilationOther

    This method uses HFNC as described above and adds noninvasive ventilation which is similar to CPAP machine and uses a mask rather than having to intubate (putting a tube down your throat to keep your airway from collapsing).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Not IntubatedActive comparatorPatients admitted with a trauma injury who do not need to be intubated to receive treatment. Intubated means putting a tube down your throat to keep your airway from collapsing. Participants will be randomized to receive one of the three interventions in this arm.
Receives: Other: Standard of Care - Nasal Cannula; Other: High-flow nasal cannula; Other: HFNC plus non-invasive ventilation
Intubated Patients Undergoing ExtubationActive comparatorPatients admitted with a trauma injury who had to be intubated for treatment of their injury. Interventions administered after the tube is extubated (removed from throat). Participants will be randomized to receive one of the three interventions in this arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. failure rates-nonintubated patients

    Among injured patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) without being intubated, do failure rates within the first 48 hours of ICU admission differ with respect to type of initial respiratory intervention: nasal cannula, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), or HFNC plus non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP). Failure is defined as escalation to intubation.

    Measured: first 48 hours

  2. failure rates-intubated patients

    Among injured patients arriving intubated or who undergo intervention after hospital arrival, do failure rates within the first 48 hours after extubation differ with respect to type of initial respiratory intervention: nasal cannula, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), or HFNC plus non-invasive ventilation (BiPAP). Failure is defined as requiring reintubation.

    Measured: first 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mortality

    Assess mortality of enrolled patients by quarterly retrospective chart reviews.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Length of hospital stay

    Compare length of hospitalization between groups

    Measured: up to 60 days

  3. Length of ICU stay

    Compare length of ICU stay between groups

    Measured: up to 30 days

  4. Discharge location

    was patient discharged to home, rehabilitation facility, skilled nursing, death; compare between groups

    Measured: up to 60 days

  5. Complications

    Compare complications (such as need to be mechanically ventilated, infections, etc.) between groups

    Measured: up to 2 years

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 rates-nonintubated patients (time frame: first 48 hours). 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 NCT04507425, which also lists 7 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 21 Nov 2023.
