Use of Combined Prone Positioning and High-Flow Nasal Cannula, and Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation to Prevent Intubation in COVID-19 Infection
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This research aims to understand if prone positioning combined with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) or non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) safely reduce the rate of intubation in acute hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 infection.

Experimental: HFNC and NIPPV Combined use of prone positioning and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) |
Other: Body position change
combined use of prone positioning and high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) can reduce the rate of intubation in acute hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure secondary to COVID-19 infection.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of intubation [1 year]
Number of critically ill patients with acute hypoxemic and/or hypercapnic respiratory failure, secondary to COVID-19 infection to require intubation and mechanical ventilation
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias and other nursing-related risks of combining prone positioning with high-flow nasal cannula and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation [1 year]
To evaluate the the incidence of hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias and other nursing-related risks of combining prone positioning with high-flow nasal cannula and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation.
