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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
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

  1. 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

  1. 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.

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years to 110 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Patients with confirmed COVID19 infection or suspected COVID19 infection.

  • Patients requiring HFNC or NIPPV

  • Patients who are clinically stable and able to tolerate the changes in position that are routinely conducted as part of the standard of care in the medical ICU.

  • Patient should be able to provide informed consent to the study. Any participant speaking any language will be offered participation.

Exclusion Criteria:
Contraindication for prone positioning:
  • Intracranial pressure >30 mm Hg or cerebral perfusion pressure <60 mmHg

  • Massive hemoptysis requiring an immediate surgical or interventional radiology procedure

  • Tracheal surgery or sternotomy during the previous 15 days

  • Serious facial trauma or facial surgery during the previous 15 days

  • Deep venous thrombosis treated for less than 2 days

  • Cardiac pacemaker inserted in the last 2 days

  • Unstable spine, femur, or pelvic fractures

  • Hemodynamic instability or severe cardiac arrhythmia (chronic AFib is not a contraindication). Mean arterial pressure lower than 60 mm Hg, >1 vasopressor agent or Norepinephrine equivalent dose >0.06 mcg/kg/min

  • Pregnant women

  • Single anterior chest tube with air leaks

  • Burns on more than 20 % of the body surface

  • Delirium or altered mental status increasing fall risk while in prone position.

  • End-of-life decision before inclusion

  • Subject deprived of freedom, minor, subject under a legal protective measure

  • Unable to actively participate in Assisted Manual Pronation Therapy per nursing assessment

  • Lacking capacity to provide informed consent.

  • Individuals with mechanical or vascular disease precluding safe displacement of the head, for example: cervical spinal fusion, limited range of motion, or severe vascular occlusive disease of the head and neck.

  • Body mass index (BMI) greater than 70 kg/m2, or unable to actively participate in Assisted Manual Pronation Therapy per nursing assessment at any BMI value.
