About this trial
Patients with Bronchiectasis experience exacerbations with hypercapnic respiratory failure associated with an increased respiratory workload that may require intensive care unit (ICU) admission due to the inability of the respiratory muscles to compensate for increased demand. These exacerbations are frequently treated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients will be eligible for enrolment if diagnosed with bronchiectasis and admitted to the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU), requiring ventilator support without invasive mechanical ventilation.
Disqualifiers
Age: less than 18 years. Patients with post-arrest encephalopathy. Patient with the previous tracheotomy. Patients who received invasive ventilatory support. Patients with end-organ failure.
Trial population
Patients will be eligible for enrolment if diagnosed with bronchiectasis and admitted to the respiratory intensive care unit (RICU), requiring ventilator support without invasive mechanical ventilation.
