Summary

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.

Conditions

  • COPD Exacerbation

Interventions

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.
