Brief summary

This study objectively held to compare the physiological outcomes in the non-invasive (NIV) treatment of Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Oedema (ACPE) patients in the Emergency Department (ED) delivered by Helmet CPAP (hCPAP) and HFNC.Patients will be randomized to receive either hCPAP or HFNC.

Detailed description

Non-invasive ventilation(NIV) has different types of interfaces that had been used in acute hypoxaemic and hypercapnic respiratory failure. The appropriate interface is necessary to provide comfort and lead to the success of NIV. Helmet continuous positive airway pressure (hCPAP) is an NIV interface that allows the provision of high airway pressures with a minimal leak. HFNC which delivers heated humidified high flow oxygen provides a good alternative to the conventional NIV in terms of comfort

Heart Rate,Acidosis (pH), Consciousness (GCS), Oxygenation (PF ratio) And Respiratory Rate(HACOR) Score1 hourHeart rate,Acidosis (pH), Consciousness (GCS), Oxygenation (PF ratio) and Respiratory rate(HACOR) Score improvement post intervention.HACOR is an acronym for heart rate, acidosis (pH), consciousness (GCS), oxygenation (PF ratio) and respiratory rate in which each parameter is an independent predictor for NIV failure. HACOR score is out of 25 with differential weighting of each parameter.
