Study Arms (2)

High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The HFNC (Airvo2 Fisher \& Paykel, Auckland, New Zealand) consists of an apparatus that allows adjustable FiO2 from 21 to 100% and delivers flow up to 60 L/ min.

Device: High Flow Nasal Catheter

Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

NIPPV will be performed using the devices available on centers. Both a dedicated NIPPV device or an invasive mechanical ventilator with NIPPV mode are accepted. The interface should be an oronasal or full face mask.

Device: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV)

Interventions

HFNC will be delivered through AIRVO2. FiO2 from 21 to 100% and heated humidified gas flow up to 60 l / min with temperature of the circuit maintained at 37 degrees. Oxygen flow will be offered through a humidified nasal catheter. Flow and FiO2 will be titrated according to the protocol to maximize the patient´s comfort and SpO2

Also known as: Optiflow, Airvo, trans-nasal insufflation, Nasal High Flow, High Flow Nasal Cannula
High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)

NIPPV will be performed using a facial mask (either oronasal or full face). NIPPV will deliver pressures and FiO2 according to the protocol.

Also known as: BiPAP, Non-invasive ventilation, Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation
Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • A. Pulmonary fibrosis will be defined by all of the criteria below:
  • presence of Velcro-type crackles on physical examination
  • imaging compatible with pulmonary fibrosis
  • diffuse disease on imaging
  • B. Acute respiratory failure (ARF) will be defined by hypoxemia evidenced by SpO2 \<90% or PaO2 \<60 mmHg in room air and at least two of the criteria below within the last four weeks:
  • worsening dyspnea
  • worsening breathing effort
  • worsening gas exchange (worsening SpO2 or paO2)
  • worsening respiratory rate, above 25 irpm

You may not qualify if:

  • Pulmonary fibrosis secondary to progressive massive fibrosis (silicosis), or any other tumor form of fibrosis;
  • Significant pulmonary arterial hypertension characterized by: Right ventricular failure on Doppler echocardiogram or Cardiac index \<2L / min / m2 in catheterization of right chambers;
  • Pneumothorax or extensive pleural effusion as the main determinant of ARF in the assessment of the attending physician;
  • Cardiogenic pulmonary congestion as the main determinant of IRPA in the assessment of the attending physician;
  • Presence of delirium or non-cooperation at the time of randomization;
  • Anatomical facial abnormalities;
  • Incoercible vomiting or hypersecretion of the airways;
  • Use of continuous VNIPP or HFNC for more than 8h before randomization;
  • pregnancy;
  • Refusal to participate.
