Impact of High-level Oxygen Therapy on the Reconditioning of Type I Hypoxemic Respiratory Insufficiency Patients in Intensive Care

March 3, 2022 updated by: Dr David DE BELS

High-throughput oxygen therapy is known as an alternative to non-invasive ventilation, with a benefit in terms of survival in non-hypercapnic respiratory failure patients.

The use of high-throughput oxygen therapy is well studied in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and has as known effects the decrease of transcutaneous CO2 and respiratory rate, and the increase in the inspiratory/expiratory time report, in the tidal volume and in the forced expiratory volume per second.

In the event of an exacerbation, high-flow oxygen therapy has shown to be beneficial in terms of increased mean airway pressure, tidal volume with a decrease in hypercapnia, and respiratory rate.

The net effect on the CO2 pressure is linked to the CO2 clearance of the dead anatomical space by the high throughput. The effect can be compared with the one of non invasive ventilation in a stable COPD patient.

Oxygen therapy, even in patients with non-hypoxic COPD at rest, has benefits in terms of performance and improvement of quality of life. High-throughput oxygen therapy has also shown a benefit in COPD patients in revalidation units, in terms of exercise performance and oxygenation.

However, the reconditioning of critical patients in acute situations, by means of nasal goggles, has never been studied.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Experimental: Optiflow nasal googles
Oxygen provided by means of high throughput nasal googles (Optiflow, Fisher&Paykel- New Zealand).
Device: Cyclometer Ergometer
The measurements are carried out on a max effort of 12 minutes on a cyclometer ergometer with a constant load (Motomed viva2 light). A first effort is made with a Venturi type mask whose Inspired Fraction in Oxygen (FiO2) is set for a pulsated oxygen saturation (SpO2) greater than or equal to 85%, and then a second at 2h interval with high-throughput googles (Optiflow) with the corresponding FiO2.
Active Comparator: Venturi mask
Oxygen provided by means of a Venturi mask.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Pulsated oxygen saturation (Sp02)
Time Frame: Baseline
SpO2 is an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood. More precisely, it represents the percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin (containing oxygen) relative to the total amount of hemoglobin in the blood (oxygenated hemoglobin and non-oxygenated hemoglobin).
