About this study

Official title: Predictors of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Failure (HFNC) in Patients With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (AHRF) Using Echocardiography Parameters

Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and right ventricular-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) uncoupling detected by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are associated with poor survival. Early detection of RVD and RV-PA uncoupling in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) may be indicative of worsening and decompensating pulmonary condition which may require escalation of respiratory support. The use of TTE parameters in predicting high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) failure has not been previously studied. The objective of this study is to identify predictors of HFNC failure by TTE and to compare its performance with the well-established ROX index.

What participants receive

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

  • Transthoracic EchocardiographyDiagnostic test

    Transthoracic Echocardiography to look for evidence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and right ventricular-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) uncoupling.

What is being measured

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

  1. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapeutic failure

    Predictive value of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in detecting High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapeutic failure in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF).

    Measured: From the start of recruitment into study (i.e. start of HFNC use), till the date of study endpoint (i.e., step up to non-invasive ventilation, intubation, death on HFNC, or weaned off HFNC, whichever came first), assessed up to 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure, run by Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 9 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 Oct 2024. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapeutic failure (time frame: From the start of recruitment into study (i.e. start of HFNC use), till the date of study endpoint (i.e., step up to non-invasive ventilation, intubation, death on HFNC, or weaned off HFNC, whichever came first), assessed up to 4 weeks.). 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 16 Oct 2024.
