Clinical Trial Summary

Helmet noninvasive ventilation and high-flow nasal cannula are novel tools for the first-line treatment of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Compared to face-mask noninvasive ventilation in randomized trials, both have improved clinical outcome of patients with moderate-to-severe hypoxemic respiratory failure. As compared to high-flow nasal cannula, helmet noninvasive ventilation improves oxygenation, reduces inspiratory effort, respiratory rate and dyspnea. Whether these physiological benefits are translated into improved outcome remains to be established. The investigators designed a randomized trial to establish whether first line treatment with Helmet noninvasive ventilation is capable of increasing the number of 28-day respiratory-support-free days, as compared to high-flow nasal cannula in patients with moderate-to-severe acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
