About this trial

High-Flow Nasal Cannula vs. NIV After Extubation in Children Undergoing Heart Surgery

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients under 18 years of age.

Post-cardiac surgery patients in the CICU of Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital

Patients at high risk of extubation failure (e.g., young age, open sternotomy, mechanical ventilation >48 hours).

Patients who pass the extubation readiness test and spontaneous breathing trial.

Disqualifiers

Diaphragmatic paralysis.

Decreased consciousness.

Neuromuscular disease.

Pneumothorax without drainage.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)

    Device

    Participants in this arm will receive High Flow Nasal Cannula therapy using the Airvo™3 Nasal High Flow System immediately after planned extubation following cardiac surgery

  • Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)

    Device

    Participants in this arm will receive Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) immediately after planned extubation following cardiac surgery. NIV will be delivered using standard ICU ventilator settings, with parameters tailored to each patient's clinical condition

Treatment groups

114 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: High Flow Nasal CannulaExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV)Active comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants Requiring Reintubation Within 48 - 72 Hours Following Planned Extubation After Cardiac Surgery

Participants who require reintubation due to respiratory failure, clinical deterioration, or complications related to respiratory support will be recorded. This outcome will be compared between the HFNC and NIV groups to assess extubation success.

Time frame
72 hours post-extubation

Secondary outcomes

1

Length of Stay in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU)

The total number of days each participant remains in the CICU will be recorded and compared between the HFNC and NIV groups.

Time frame
1 month
2

Total Duration of Sedation Post-Extubation

The cumulative duration (in hours) of sedative medication administration following extubation, measured up to 72 hours post-extubation. Duration will be compared between the HFNC and NIV groups.

Time frame
Up to 72 hours post-extubation
3

Total Dosage of Sedation Post-Extubation

The cumulative total dose (in milligrams) of sedative medications administered following extubation, measured up to 72 hours post-extubation. Dosage will be compared between the HFNC and NIV groups.

Time frame
Up to 72 hours post-extubation
4

Change in COMFORT Scale Scores Post-Extubation

The COMFORT Behavioral Scale will be used to assess patient comfort and distress levels at 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 hours post-extubation. This scale includes multiple behavioral indicators such as alertness, agitation, crying, physical movement, muscle tone, and facial tension. Scores range from 6 to 30, where higher scores indicate greater distress and lower scores indicate better comfort/sedation.

Time frame
Up to 48 hours post-extubation
