Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the Non-Invasive Ventilation-Continuous Positive Airway Pressure efficacy (experimental group) for drowning related Acute Respiratory Failure compared to Oxygen Supply by face mask (15Liters/minutes) (control group).


Clinical Trial Description

Open-label, multicenter, prospective, cross-over cluster randomized (ratio 1:1), conducted in 16 Emergency Medical Service centers in France : - Experimental group: Non-Invasive Ventilation-Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (Arm 1) - Control group: Oxygen Supply by face mask (Arm 2) Drowning-related acute respiratory failure has important clinical consequences (4 to 18% mortality). No national/international medical consensus exist for its management. Our team has successively demonstrated that: - The acute respiratory failure related to drowning in salt or fresh water presented the same clinical pathway and prognosis ; - Most victims with drowning related acute respiratory failure do no present hemodynamic instability ; - If the oxygenation is rapidly improved, neurological status is also maintained in acute respiratory failure victims ; - Pediatric and adult presentations are similar. Facing an acute respiratory failure, emergency medical service must rapidly choose between oxygen supply by face mask (15 liters /minutes), mechanical ventilation or non-invasive ventilation. mechanical ventilation as non-invasive ventilation present interests and side arms. No comparative study has been conducted between these strategies. The arguments for non-invasive ventilation use specifically in a continuous positive airway pressure mode are: - Fast recovery of acute respiratory failure in 24h - Retrospective publications showing that the benefit of non-invasive ventilation probably based on continuous positive airway pressure mode - Easy implementation of continuous positive airway pressure in the pre-hospital setting (adults, children, newborns) - Complexity of mechanical ventilation in pre-hospital setting. Our working hypothesis is the efficacy of early use of non-invasive ventilation-continuous positive airway pressure in drowning related acute respiratory failure. ;
