NCT03495947

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the incidence of failure of extubation in high-risk patients using High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) to prevent such failure in the Intensive Care Unit. A prospective cohort study was performed. To all adult patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation ≥ 48 hours and ready for scheduled extubation according to tolerance of spontaneous breathing trial, with at least one of the criteria for high-risk for extubation failure (age greater than 65 years, hypoxemic acute respiratory failure as a cause of invasive mechanical ventilation, \> 1 spontaneous ventilation test failed consecutive, history of chronic heart failure, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or PaCO2\> 45 mmHg, body mass index \>30 kg/m2, post-operative solid organ transplantation), HFNC is applied for 24 hours. Demographic variables and clinical and gasometric parameters at the end of the spontaneous breathing trial, at 60 minutes, at 6 and 24 hours after the start of HFNC are recorded.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Extubation failure

    the need to discontinue treatment with HFNC to progress to invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support within 48 hours of extubation.

    In the first 48 hours

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Time to failure of extubation

    In the first 48 hours

  • Reasons for extubation failure

    In the first 48 hours

  • Type of ventilatory support post-failure of extubation

    In the first 48 hours

  • Average time of use the HFNC

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Length of stay in the Intensive care unit

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

24 hours of continuous use in the immediate post-extubation period.

Study Population

All adult patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation ≥48 hours and ready for scheduled extubation according to tolerance of spontaneous breathing trial.

You may qualify if:

  • \- All adult patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation ≥48 hours and ready for scheduled extubation according to tolerance of spontaneous breathing trial, with at least one of the following criteria for high-risk for extubation failure:
  • Age greater than 65 years.
  • Hypoxemic acute respiratory failure as a cause of invasive mechanical ventilation.
  • \>1 spontaneous ventilation test failed consecutive.
  • History of chronic heart failure.
  • History of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or PaCO2 \>45 mmHg.
  • Body mass index \>30 kg/m2.
  • Post-operative solid organ transplantation.

You may not qualify if:

  • Need for orotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (IOT / AVMI) according to the decision of the attending physician.
  • Deterioration of the state of consciousness determined by Kelly Matthay's Scale \>3.
  • Hemodynamic instability: systolic blood pressure (TAS) \<90 mmHg or TAM \<65 mmHg despite receiving fluids and/ or vasopressors.
  • Neuromuscular disease
  • Neurocritical pathology.
  • Epistaxis
  • Skull base fracture, or inability to fix the HFNC.
  • History of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome with indication and use of nocturnal continuous positive pressure.
  • Participation in another research protocol of HFNC.
  • Elimination criteria
  • Directives before or after the onset of a disease that limits the therapeutic effort and indicates not to intubate or perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
