The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of severe hypoxemia episodes during the intubation procedure with two methods of pre-oxygenation:
- NIV (Non Invasive Ventilation)
- HFNC (High-flow nasal canula oxygen therapy)
Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Acute Respiratory Failure Intratracheal Intubation | Procedure: High Flow nasal canula oxygen therapy Procedure: Noninvasive ventilation | Not Applicable |
Design:
Clinical randomized, open, multicenter, comparative trial, with parallel groups aimed at evaluating a medical device.
Selection of patients admitted to the ICU for acute respiratory failure, requiring endotracheal intubation.
Randomized study, inclusion in two groups: NIV or HFNC.
Experimental group:
NHFC group, preoxygenation by NHFC: oxygen flow rate of 60 L / min and 100% FiO2.
Control group:
NIV group, preoxygenation by NIV: pressure support set for an exhaled tidal volume of 6-8 ml / kg of ideal body weight, PEEP of 5 cm H2O and FiO2 at 100%.
Duration of participation of each patient: 28 days
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 320 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
