NCT05964244

Brief Summary

This study will determine if NIV using the Vela investigational mask with expiratory washout of the upper airway more effectively reduces respiratory rate in acute patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure. Patients admitted to hospital with acute respiratory failure (ARF) will be assessed for hypercapnic ARF by normal hospital protocols. Patients requiring noninvasive ventilation (NIV) will be set up on NIV as prescribed per standard of care. Enrollment onto the investigation will occur after the patient has been allowed to stabilize on NIV . Patients that meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be approached for consent. Investigation participants will receive two masks in random order;

  1. 1.NIV for one hour with the investigational mask (Vela)
  2. 2.NIV for one hour with the standard mask (Nivairo).

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in respiratory rate

    The change in patient's respiratory rate over the 1 hour of the study arm

    1 hour

Study Arms (2)

Noninvasive ventilation (CPAP or bilevel) with the Vela investigational mask for 1 hour

EXPERIMENTAL

Pressure settings for noninvasive ventilation to be set as required to provide optimal respiratory support for each patient. Not to be changed during the 2 hours of the study.

Device: Vela Investigational Mask

Noninvasive ventilation (CPAP or bilevel) with the standard mask (Nivairo) for 1 hour

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Pressure settings for noninvasive ventilation to be set as required to provide optimal respiratory support for each patient. Not to be changed during the 2 hours of the study.

Device: Nivairo Standard Mask

Interventions

Wear mask to enable the delivery of noninvasive ventilation (CPAP or bilevel) therapy.

Noninvasive ventilation (CPAP or bilevel) with the Vela investigational mask for 1 hour

Wear mask to enable the delivery of noninvasive ventilation (CPAP or bilevel) therapy.

Noninvasive ventilation (CPAP or bilevel) with the standard mask (Nivairo) for 1 hour
