Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation in Moderate Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

November 20, 2018 updated by: Chen Wang, Beijing Hospital
In order to identify the effect of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) on decreasing inflammatory response, improving the pathophysiological manifestation and reducing the morbidity and mortality in the moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients, the investigators conduct this clinical trial comparing NPPV with invasive mechanical ventilation in more than twenty ICUs in China.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. acute onset
  2. a clinical presentation of respiratory distress
  3. arterial oxygen tension/inspired oxygen fraction (PaO2/FiO2) between 200 mmHg to 300 mmHg. The arterial oxygen tension will be measured in fifteen minutes after NPPV (CPAP 5 cmH2O) was used to the patients stably
  4. presence of bilateral pulmonary infiltrate on chest radiograph
  5. no evidence of left heart failure as assessed by echocardiography and/or a pulmonary artery wedge pressure( PAWP) < 18 mmHg

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. age > 70 years or < 18 years
  2. PaCO2 > 50mmHg
  3. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)< 11
  4. Upper airway/facial deformity or injury
  5. pneumothorax or pneumomediastinum
  6. unable to spontaneously clear secretions from their airway
  7. respiratory arrest
  8. severe ventricular arrhythmia or active myocardial ischemia
  9. severe organ dysfunction (including gastrointestinal hemorrhage, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hepatic and renal dysfunction, SOFA score > 1)
  10. severe chronic lung diseases(COPD, Asthma or ILD, et al)
  11. end-stage patients who are expected to survive less than six months
  12. severe abdominal distension
  13. refuse to receive NPPV
  14. unable to cooperate with NPPV

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: NONE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: NPPV
Use the NPPV to treat moderate ARDS
Use NPPV to treat the ARDS patients,and we choose the NPPV ventilators in which the FiO2 can be fixed, for example: the BiPAP Vision or V60 of Phillip Respironics.
Active Comparator: IMV
Use invasive mechanical ventilation in treating the patients allocated to this group.
Intubate and give invasive mechanical ventilation to the other group patients when they are allocated at once.
