HFNC vs Nasal Cannula in Mild Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation

January 13, 2020 updated by: Qingyuan Zhan, China-Japan Friendship Hospital

Comparison of High Flow Nasal Cannula vs Nasal Cannula in Mild Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Exacerbation(AECOPD)

For AECOPD patients, only 8% patients ventilated by noninvasive and invasive positive pressure ventilation. Nasal cannula is the most common pattern of oxygen therapy in mild AECOPD. As a low flow oxygen therapy, nasal cannula has many disadvantages.Therefore, we design a randomized controlled trial(RCT)to explore whether HFNC would be better than nasal cannula to prevent the aggravation of respiratory failure and endotracheal intubation in mild AECOPD.

Detailed Description

For AECOPD patients, most of patients don't need respiratory support, only 8% patients ventilated by noninvasive and invasive positive pressure ventilation. Nasal cannula is the most common pattern of oxygen therapy in mild AECOPD. As a low flow oxygen therapy, nasal cannula has many disadvantages: discomfort, low humidity and unstable fraction of inspired oxygen(FiO2) in inspiratory gas. Therefore, we design a RCT to explore whether HFNC would be better than nasal cannula to prevent the aggravation of respiratory failure and endotracheal intubation in mild AECOPD.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: High flow nasal cannula
High flow nasal cannula(OptiflowTM); Flow 25-60 L/min is set according to patients' comfort; FiO2 is adjusted to maintain peripheral capillary oxygen saturation(SpO2) 90-95%; temperature is set at 37.
Device: High flow nasal cannula
High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is a new emerging noninvasive respiratory support technology, which mainly includes high flow (15-60 L/min) device, heating humidification device and nasal cannula for high flow. A large number of physiological studies confirmed that HFNC has the following critical physiological effects: promoting airway humidification, improving tolerance of treatment, reducing the physiological dead space on the upper respiratory tract, producing a certain level of positive end expiratory pressure (2-7 cmH2O), decreasing the work of breathing and so on.
Other Names:
