About

The objective of this randomized cross-over trial is to assess the physiological effects of three different facemasks for noninvasive ventilation (Nivairo, Visairo, Optiniv) in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure

Enrollment

20 estimated patients

Sex

All

Ages

18+ years old

Volunteers

No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Acute respiratory failure with

  • PaCO2 ≥ 45 mmHg;
  • Arterial pH < 7.35;
  • Signed written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • Respiratory rate < 12 bpm;
  • Immediate need for intubation;
  • Haemodynamic instability (Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure <65 mmHg) and/or lactic acidosis (lactate >5 mmol/L) and/or clinically diagnosed shock;
  • Metabolic Acidosis;
  • Recent head surgery or anatomy that prevent the application of facemasks;
  • Any contraindications to oesophageal balloon insertion and/or electrical impedance tomography (EIT) belt placement.
  • Any contraindications to facemask noninvasive ventilation.
