Noninvasive Ventilation
Conditions
Brief summary
Current study aimed to explore the effect of high PEEP during noninvasive ventilation among hypoxemic patients with acute respiratory failure.
Detailed description
This was a 1:1 randomized control trial to explore the effect of high versus low PEEP in noninvasive ventilation hypoxemic patients with acute respiratory failure. Several ICUs in China performed this study. In the high PEEP group, the PEEP maintained at 10-15 cmH2O, the inspiratory pressure maintained at 15-20 cmH2O. In the low PEEP group, the PEEP maintained at 5 cmH2O, the inspiratory pressure maintained at 10-20 cmH2O. The primary outcome was incidence of noninvasive ventilation failrue.
Interventions
Different level of PEEP (low versus high) was applied in noninvasive ventilation.
