Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients diagnosed as COVID-19 presented with respiratory failure and admitted to intensive care of COVID-19 zone, chest Department, Assiut University hospital, Patients who failed on either low flow nasal cannula or non-rebreathing mask were shifted to Hi-VNI device using a Precision flow vapotherm (vapotherm, Inc, 100 Domain device Exeter, NH 03833, T: 603-658-0011, USA). Patients were classified into 2 groups: Early and late Hi-VNI groups according to whether the shift to Hi-VNI occurred after low flow nasal cannula or non-rebreathing mask respectively.

Who may be able to join

  • 1-severe COVID Patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure. 2- Patients with no comorbidities

Who cannot join

  • Non severe COVID Patients
  • Patients with comorbidities (e.g chronic chest dis, DM, renal failure and hepatic failure
  • Patients indicated for mechanical ventilation
  • Patients with marked hypercapnia in need for non-invasive ventilation

About this study

Official title: The Outcome of Early Use of High-velocity Nasal Insufflation in Acute Respiratory Failure Complicating Covid-19

This study evaluate early administration of high-velocity nasal insufflation in COVID-19 patients presented with acute respiratory failure after failure of conventional low flow nasal cannula bypassing the escalating step of Non re-breathing mask where early use of High velocity nasal insufflations achieved better improvement of respiratory distress, lower oxygen requirements and shorter ICU stay.

Read the detailed description

The study included 30 COVID-19 patients admitted to intensive care of COVID-19 zone, chest Department, quarantine section, Assiut University hospital. All patients were positive for COVID-19 infection by nasopharyngeal swab for detection of viral RNA by real time PCR for SAR-COV-2 RNA assay on 7500 Applied Bio-system. All patients received treatment based on the protocol of Egyptian Ministry of Health, Patients enrolled in the study were categorized into 2 groups, the 1st group included patients whom were shifted to Hi-VNI after failure of high flow nasal cannula, while the 2nd group included patients shifted to Hi-VNI after failure of non-rebreathing mask, using a Precision flow vapotherm (vapotherm, Inc, 100 Domain device Exeter, NH 03833, T: 603-658-0011, USA), that provide high velocity humidified flow through narrow bore nasl prongs

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05663138
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Early Hi-VNIGroup 1 of early shift to Hi-VNI after nasal cannula
Late Hi-VNIGroup 2 of late use of Hi-VNI after NRM

What is being measured

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

  1. Improved oxygenation

    Patients with early use of Hi-VNI had better improvement of oxygenation than those with late use of Hi-VNI

    Measured: through the study completion, average 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID-19, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Improved oxygenation (time frame: through the study completion, average 6 months). 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 NCT05663138, which also lists 2 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 23 Dec 2022.
