Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • ventilator days

    duration of mechanical ventilation via endotracheal tube

    up to 4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay

    up to 6 weeks

  • need for re-intubation

    up to 6 weeks

Other Outcomes (8)

  • hospital length of stay

    up to 6 weeks

  • hospital mortality

    up to 6 weeks

  • long term mortality

    up to 1 year

  • +5 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Helmet non invasive ventilation (NIV)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients randomized to the intervention group will be extubated to helmet NIV.

Device: Helmet non-invasive ventilation (NIV)

Control invasive mechanical ventilation

NO INTERVENTION

Patients randomized to the control group will continue invasive mechanical ventilation. Once weaning criteria are met, patients will undergo a spontaneous breathing trial for 30 minutes. If the spontaneous breathing trial is successful, then the patient will be extubated.

Interventions

After application of the helmet, arterial blood gas sampling will be utilized to follow gas-exchange; Noninvasive support will be reduced progressively in accordance to clinical improvement and will be discontinued if patient maintains respiratory rate \<30breaths/min and PaO2 \>75mm Hg with FiO2 0.5 without ventilatory support. If endotracheal intubation is required, the helmet will be removed and the patient will be intubated without delay.

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

You may qualify if:
