Trial Outcomes & Findings for Pilot Study of High-flow Humidified Nasal Oxygen During Breaks From Noninvasive Ventilation (NCT NCT01925534)

NCT ID: NCT01925534

Last Updated: 2024-07-03

Results Overview

The investigator will measure the total time on NIV in day(s), hours and minutes. This is done by having nursing staff note times of NIV start to finish of each session of NIV. They were added to get cumulative time.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 4-10

This is done by having nursing staff note times of break start (off NIV) to start of next session of NIV in minutes. Subgroup analysis was performed to assess differences between hypercapnic and hypoxemic patients, not observed in terms of time spent on or off NIV.
