Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of high-velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) versus standard noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in adult patients experiencing acute exacerbations of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) accompanied by hypoxemic respiratory failure. The primary focus is on assessing treatment failure within 48 hours, defined as the need for intubation or death. Secondary outcomes include evaluations of gas exchange parameters, patient comfort levels, duration of ICU stay, and 28-day mortality rates.
Detailed Description:
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a significant contributor to acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, often necessitating ventilatory support. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been a conventional approach; however, it can be associated with patient discomfort and varying success rates. High-velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) presents an alternative, delivering heated and humidified oxygen at high flow rates, which may improve oxygenation and patient tolerance.
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial involving 100 adult patients diagnosed with CAP-induced hypoxemic respiratory failure. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either high-volume non-invasive ventilation (HVNI) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV). The primary endpoint is treatment failure within 48 hours post-randomization, characterized by the necessity for endotracheal intubation or mortality. Secondary endpoints encompass changes in arterial blood gas measurements, patient-reported comfort scores, length of ICU stay, and 28-day mortality rates.
By systematically comparing HVNI and NIV in this patient population, the study seeks to determine whether HVNI offers a viable and potentially superior alternative to traditional NIV methods in managing acute respiratory failure due to CAP.
