Brief Summary: Non-Invasive ventilation NIV is a life saving intervention for patients with acute respiratory failure ARF Some patients are not able to tolerate the NIV intervention and ultimately fail requiring the use of invasive mechanical ventilation IMV and intubation Sedation may improve a patients NIV tolerance However this practice has not been adopted by intensivists as the risk of over-sedation resulting in respiratory depression inability to protect the airway and inadvertent need for intubation are all large deterrents of sedative use in NIV

The Non-invasive Ventilation and Dexmedetomidine in Critically Ill Adults a Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial inDEX is looking to evaluate the effectiveness of dexmedetomidine compared to placebo in reducing non-invasive ventilation failures in patients admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory failure
Detailed Description: Acute respiratory failure ARF is a common reason for admission to an intensive care unit ICU Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation NIV is a life-saving intervention for selected patients with ARF Compared to endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation IMV NIV is safer less invasive preferred by most patients and is associated with a reduced ICU length of stay LOS less pneumonia and mortality and lower healthcare costs

NIV failure can occur necessitating IMV Risk factors associated with NIV failure including intolerance agitation and delirium Sedation is a potential solution for NIV intolerance however the evidence is sparse and the risk of over-sedation resulting in respiratory depression inability to protect the airway and inadvertent need for intubation are all large deterrents

Dexmedetomidine Dex is an α2-adrenergic agonist sedative commonly used in IMV that promotes patient wakefulness has no effect on respiratory drive has important analgesic properties and reduces delirium The investigators hypothesize that Dex when compared to placebo reduces NIV failure in hospitalized adults with ARF and agitation or NIV intolerance

Overall Goal To determine if Dex compared to placebo reduces the risk of NIV failure in patients that admitted to hospital with acute respiratory failure and are intolerant of NIV

Target Population 826 patients will be enrolled into the vanguard trial if they meet all the following criteria 1 18 years old 2 Receiving any NIV modality for ARF of any etiology 3 Admitted to ICU PACU step-down unit surgical or medical or emergency department 4 Presence of one or more of the following a Agitation b Patient expresses intolerance or requests removal of NIV secondary to self-reported discomfort anxiety or claustrophobia or c Other reason that the physician feels the patient is intolerant of NIV or agitated not captured above

Methods The inDEX trial is a pragmatic international multi-centred stratified randomized parallel-group placebo-controlled trial Patients investigators healthcare team data collectors outcome assessors and the statistician will be blinded to trial arms The trial will maximize external validity by including patients in a range of hospitals across the world Patients randomized to the experimental arm will receive Dex while those randomized to the control arm will receive placebo

Assessment The primary outcome is NIV failure The investigators define NIV failure as the proportion that require intubation or have died at 28 days
