NCT05675345

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate if wearing a non-invasive breathing support device over the chest/abdomen improves markers of breathing in patients with lung injury requiring high-flow oxygen. The breathing support device consists of a plastic shell that sits over the chest and abdomen and connects to a vacuum that helps the chest expand with breathing. This breathing support is known as continuous negative external pressure (CNEP). Study findings will help determine if this breathing support device might be useful for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from baseline in SpO2/FiO2

    The change in SpO2/FiO2 within each participant as measured at baseline and at the end of each treatment assignment period. The average SpO2/FiO2 over the last five minutes of the treatment period will be used.

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • Change from baseline in Respiratory Rate

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

  • Change from baseline in ROX Index

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

  • Change from baseline in Transcutaneous Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

  • Change from baseline in Heart Rate

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

  • Change from baseline in Blood Pressure

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (5)

  • Change from baseline in other components of the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile

    At end of study

  • Change from baseline in Tidal Volume

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

  • Change from baseline in End-Expiratory Lung Volume

    At the end of each treatment period, up to 45 minutes

  • +2 more other outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+

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

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 years or older

  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Abdominal wound or surgery
  • Pregnancy
  • Agitated delirium
  • Prior intubation during hospital stay
  • Cardiogenic pulmonary edema
  • Exacerbation of asthma or COPD
