Conditions

Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Dyspnea, Hypercapnic Acidosis

Brief summary

This study will evaluate the ability of High Velocity Nasal Insufflation \[HVNI\] to effect ventilation and related physiologic responses in hypercapnic patients when compared to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation \[NIPPV\].

Detailed description

The overall objective of this randomized study is to evaluate the efficacy of HVNI, in comparison to NIPPV, to clinically stabilize and provide respiratory therapy to patients who have COPD with moderate-to-severe hypercapnic respiratory distress upon presentation. It is hypothesized that HVNI is comparable to NIPPV in the stabilization and relief of moderate-to-severe hypercapnic respiratory distress upon presentation, by relieving the patient's dyspnea (breathlessness) within 4 hours to a comparable degree to NIPPV.

Interventions

The purpose of this intervention is to evaluate the efficacy of HVNI in clinically stabilizing patients presenting with hypercapnic respiratory distress.

The purpose of this intervention is to evaluate the efficacy of NIPPV in clinically stabilizing patients presenting with hypercapnic respiratory distress.
