Tracheal Positive Pressure During High Flow Nasal Oxygen Administration in Critically Ill Patients: a Physiologic Study. (HPEEP)

January 30, 2023 updated by: Cristian Deana, Azienda Sanitaria-Universitaria Integrata di Udine

Invasive Measurement of Positive Tracheal Pressure Generated by High Flow Nasal Oxygen Administration in Critically Ill Patients After Extubation: a Physiologic Study.

High flow nasal cannula administration in critically ill patients is frequently used to improve acute respiratory failure or to prevent respiratory failure after extubation.

It acts generating a mild positive pressure in the airways and by reducing respiratory effort of patients.

However to the best of our knowledge, no study to date has directly measured the amount of positive pressure generated in the trachea of patients.

The primary aim, therefore, of this study measures this positive pressure after extubation in critically ill patients.

CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS
CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS AFTER INVASIVE MECHANICAL VENTILATION READY TO BE EXTUBATED.

BEFORE EXTUBATION, AN AIRWAY EXCHANGE CATHETER (AEC) WILL BE PUT INTO THE PATIENTS' TRACHEA AND IT WILL REMAIN IN SITE AFTER EXTUBATION. THROUGH AN AEC CONNECTED TO A PRESSURE MONITOR, IT WILL BE RECORDED TRACHEAL PRESSURE DURING SPONTANEOUSLY BREATHING PATIENT AT DIFFERENT FLOW RATES OF HFNC THAT WILL BE APPLIED JUST AFTER EXTUBATION.

MEANWHILE, VITAL PARAMETERS RECORDED WITH A MULTIPARAMETRIC MONITOR WILL BE RECORDED.

FINALLY, MONITORING OF ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF DIAPHRAGM WILL BE RECORDED THROUGH A DEDICATED NASOGASTRIC TUBE TO EVALUATE IT AT DIFFERENT FLOW RATES.
