Overview

Rationale: Despite the lack of clear clinical protocols, High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) is used as post-extubation respiratory support. Although HFNO seems to reduce the need for re-intubation, scepticism on its use persists as the mechanism of action in post-extubation patients remains undefined. Monitoring weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation while monitoring respiratory effort might help to determine the added value of HFNO surrounding extubation. We hypothesize that HFNO, compared to conventional oxygen therapy (COT), prevents de-recruitment of the lung and reduces respiratory effort, and so provides a physiologic clarification for the reduction in the need for reintubation.

Objective: Determine the physiological effect of HFNO compared to COT in the extubation phase regarding respiratory effort and lung aeration.

Study design: A physiologic, randomized clinical study comparing two standard of clinical care therapies.

Study population: Adult patients on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) for >72 hours, who are scheduled for extubation.

Intervention (if applicable): Before extubation, patients are randomized to receive COT (reference group) or HFNO as oxygenation regimen after extubation.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The main outcome is the difference in change in lung respiratory muscle effort (mean ΔPES) at 24 hours post-extubation between the study groups. Secondary parameters are differences in changes in respiratory effort at 2 and 4 hours post-extubation, difference in change in lung aeration (mean ΔEELI), differences in tidal volume, Lung Ultrasound (LUS) score, dyspnea score, and respiratory and sputum parameters between patients undergoing different post-extubation oxygenation regimens.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
