Overview

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the ability of High Velocity Nasal Insufflation [HVNI] to effect ventilation and related physiologic responses in hypercapnic patients when compared to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation [NIPPV].

Detailed Description

The overall objective of this randomized study is to evaluate the efficacy of HVNI, in comparison to NIPPV, to clinically stabilize and provide respiratory therapy to patients who have COPD with moderate-to-severe hypercapnic respiratory distress upon presentation. It is hypothesized that HVNI is comparable to NIPPV in the stabilization and relief of moderate-to-severe hypercapnic respiratory distress upon presentation, by relieving the patient's dyspnea (breathlessness) within 4 hours to a comparable degree to NIPPV.

  • Venous pH of 7.0 - 7.35

Exclusion Criteria

  • Severe metabolic derangements (e.g. suspected drug overdose, mixed acid/base disorder)
  • Need for airway protection
  • Primary condition of Congestive Heart Failure
  • Need for emergent intubation
  • Pneumonia diagnosis with significant infiltrate on chest x-ray that is clinically correlated with pneumonia
  • Inability to provide informed consent

  • Known contraindication to perform procedures listed, or therapies described in the protocol
  • Respiratory arrest or significant respiratory depression on presentation
  • Significant nasal occlusion either unilateral or bilateral

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Rated Perceived Dyspnea [RPD]

Time Frame: During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min

Patient's subjective assessment of their dyspnea, rated as a modified Borg score on a scale from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Patient Communication Capability - Patient Stability Index(During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Venous Blood Gas - Venous PCO2(During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Vital Signs - Respiratory Rate [RR](During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Bicarbonate - Bicarbonate(During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Vital Signs - Oxygen Saturation [SpO2](During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Venous Blood Gas - pH(During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Basic Metabolic Panel - Sodium(Baseline, at study start only)
  • Patient Vital Signs - Heart Rate [HR](During four time points in the study; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Basic Metabolic Panel - Potassium(Baseline, at study start only)
  • Patient Basic Metabolic Panel - Chloride(Baseline, at study start only)
  • Patient Base Excess - Base Excess(During four time points in the study over the course of four hours; Baseline, 30 min, 60 min, and 240 min)
  • Patient Basic Metabolic Panel - Lactate(Baseline, at study start only)
  • Patient Basic Metabolic Panel - Glucose(Baseline, at study start only)
