About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of High-flow Nasal Cannula and Prone Positioning in Awake Patients With COVID-19 and Severe Acute Respiratory Failure

The investigators evaluate the effects of High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in association with prone in patients with Covid-19 severe ARF.

Read the detailed description

The investigators evaluate the effects of High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in association with prone in patients with Covid-19 severe ARF.

All patients with ARF related to Covid-19 and admitted to the ICU are turned in prone position whenever tolerated, while receiving oxygenation with HFNC.

Outcomes of interest are the rate of success or failure (defined as the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation)

Being tested
prone position
Medical subject headings
Respiratory Insufficiency

What participants receive

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

  • prone positionProcedure or surgery

    patients are returned from prone to supine position while receiving oxygenation through HFNC

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure, run by Hôpital Universitaire Fattouma Bourguiba at 1 site in Tunisia.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 29 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Tunisia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Number of patients without intubation (time frame: through study completion, an average of 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Jul 2021.
