Brief Summary:
High flow nasal therapy (HFNT) has not been well evaluated for treating hypercapnia The purpose of this study is to determine whether high flow nasal therapy (HFNT) can decrease hypercapnia and improve respiratory distress parameters in Emergency Department patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure related to cardiogenic pulmonary edema and to compare its efficacy to that of non invasive ventilation.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure Device: High flow nasal therapy (HFNT) : Optiflow™ Device: Non invasive ventilation (niv)

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective observational study conducted as a preliminary study to the randomized controlled OPTICAP trial (NCT02874339).

Prospective observational exploratory study including ED patients with a suspected diagnosis of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure related to cardiogenic pulmonary edema who require NIV according to the joint recommendations from the French society of anaesthesia and intensive care and the French society for intensive care.

Patients will receive a 1hr treatment session by either NIV or HFNT, depending on the attending ED physician expertise in using HFNT Repeat evaluation of arterial blood gases and respiratory parameters and dyspnea will be performed before and after treatment sessions according to current guidelines.

Improvement in PaCO2 and other respiratory parameters after 1hr treatment by HFNT will be analysed and compared to that of NIV.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Optiflow tm
High flow nasal therapy (HFNT)
Device: High flow nasal therapy (HFNT) : Optiflow™

HFNT will be administered through a heated humidifier (Airvo 2, Fisher and Paykel healthcare) and applied through large bore binasal prongs.

Initial gas flow rate will be set at of 60 l/min and adjusted to 40-50 l/min based on patient's tolerance. FiO2 will be adjusted to maintain an SpO2 ≥ 92%. Initial temperature will be set at 37° and reduced according to patient's tolerance

Other Names:
  • High flow nasal cannula
  • High flow nasal oxygen
  • Optiflow™

Non invasive ventilation (NIV)
Non invasive ventilation (NIV)
Device: Non invasive ventilation (niv)

NIV will be delivered through a face mask connected to a dedicated ventilator with pressure support applied in a noninvasive ventilation mode (Monnal T75, Airliquide Medical Systems, Antony, France).

The Pressure-support level will be adjusted to obtain an expired tidal volume of 6-8 ml/kg of predicted body weight and a respiratory rate of 25-30 b/min. PEEP (range 5-10 cm of water) and FiO2 will be adjusted to maintain an SpO2 ≥92% and to patient's comfort.





Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in PaCO2 after a 1-hour treatment session [ Time Frame: 1 hour ]
    PaCO2 will be measured from standard laboratory arterial blood gas analysis performed at the end of the first 1-hour-treatment session


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. blood gas (PaO2, pH, SaO2) [ Time Frame: at 1 hour ]
    blood gas (PaO2, pH, SaO2) measured from standard laboratory arterial blood gas analysis at the end of each 1h-ventilatory support session and throughout ventilatory support

  2. Respiratory rate [ Time Frame: at 1 hour ]
    Respiratory rate, measured over 1-min as part of standard clinical assessment after each 1h ventilatory support session and throughout ventilatory support

  3. signs of increased work of breathing [ Time Frame: at 1 hour ]
    signs of increased work of breathing assessed based on patient's use of accessory respiratory muscles and paradoxical abdominal movement and measured using 5-point likert scales ranging from 1 to 5. Signs of increased work of berthing will be assessed at the end of each 1h ventilatory support sessions throughout ventilatory support

  4. Dyspnea [ Time Frame: at 1 hour ]

    Dyspnea recorded by the patient using a Modified Borg scale ranging from 0 to 10.

    Dyspnea will be measured at the end of each 1h ventilatory support sessions and throughout ventilatory support


  5. comfort [ Time Frame: at 1 hour ]
    Comfort recorded by the patient using a visual analog scale from 0 to 10. Comfort will be assessed at the end of each 1h ventilatory support sessions and throughout ventilatory support

  6. Proportion of patients [ Time Frame: at 1 hour ]
    Proportion of patients with a normalized PaCO2 (PaCO2 equal or lower than 45 mmHg),
