Effects of High-flow Oxygen Therapy and Non-invasive Ventilation on Lung Volumes and on Upper Airway

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Respiratory Failure

• Registration Number: NCT05643911
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier

Brief Summary

Respiratory failure is the most frequent organ failure and cause for admission in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) . It is a severe complication with an ICU mortality ranged from 31% to 33%. Symptomatic treatment of hypoxemic respiratory failure is a controversial topic with different options: 1) standard oxygen therapy, 2) high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HFNC) and 3) non-invasive ventilation (NIV).

The aim of the study is to compare HFNC versus NIV ventilation using CT scan. The hypothesis of this study is that in hypoxemic critically ill patients, the increase of lung volumes with NIV would be significantly higher than the increase of lung volumes with HFNC.
