About this trial
The objectives of this study are to compare the physiological consequences of high-flow oxygen therapy and noninvasive mechanical ventilation on ventilation, respiratory work and hemodynamics during acute respiratory failure in diffuse interstitial pneumonia.

Treatments tested in this trial
Noninvasive mechanical ventilation
DeviceNoninvasive mechanical ventilation is a respiratory technique which allows the administration of positive inspiratory and expiratory airway pressures in order to ventilate the lungs.
Nasal high-flow oxygen therapy
DeviceNasal high-flow is a respiratory technique which allows the administration of warmed and humidified air, associated with oxygen.
Continuous positive airway pressure
DeviceContinuous positive airway pressure is a respiratory technique which allows to maintain a constant positive airway pressure during inspiration and expiration.
