About this study

Official title: The Efficiency of Heated Humidifier High-Flow Nasal Cannula Between Unheated Oxygen Therapy in Difficult Weaning Patients After Extubation in Respiratory Care Center

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula compared with noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in the prevention of extubation failure in patients with prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Read the detailed description

There have been many clinical trials comparing the role of Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula or Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in the prevention of extubation failure.

These review all have similar results summarized here:

Compared with Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula provides better patient comfort, fewer oxygen desaturation episodes, lower likelihood of interface displacement, and, lower reintubation rate than Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.

However, most of these clinical trials focused on participants experiencing acute respiratory failure.

Investigators of this study want to find something difference between oh these two groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal CannulaDevice

    Also called Noninvasive Ventilation

    Participants using of invasive ventilator more than 14 days, maybe considered transferred to the Respiratory Care Center(RCC), participants enrolled to this study and also written informed consent from participants or their family; After extubation, the difficult weaning patients were allocated to two treatment groups, and randomly assigned to Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula or Noninvasive Ventilation devices.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Re-intubation rate

    Any placement of an endotracheal tube for any indication within 72 hours of extubation, censored at the first of hospital discharge or 72 hours after extubation.

    Measured: within 72 hours of extubation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mortality rate

    Mortality rate, or death rate is a measure of the number of deaths

    Measured: up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Heated Humidified High-Flow Nasal Cannula in people with Critically Illness, run by Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Re-intubation rate (time frame: within 72 hours of extubation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04564859, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Sep 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
