About this trial

In this pilot study the feasibility of performing a larger trial to study the non-inferiority of High Flow Nasal Oxygen compared to non-invasive ventilation in patients with acute acidotic hypercapnic exacerbation of COPD wil be investigated

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Acute hypercapnic exacerbation of this condition, defined as: PaCO2>45 mmHg or >6.0 kPa and pH 7.20-7.35

Age >40 years

Disqualifiers

Asthma

Immediate need for intubation, based on clinical judgement of the attending physician.

Impossibility to apply either one of the two interventions

Patient not expected to give immediate or delayed informed consent (e.g. known cognitive impairment, dementia, active serious psychiatric disease, mental retardation).

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • HFNO

    Other intervention

    Respiratory support with HFNO (as opposed to NIV, as per standard of care)

  • NIV

    Other intervention

    Respiratory support with Non-invasive ventilation, standard of care

Treatment groups

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