Deskripsi
The sequential use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for weaning in hypercapnic respiratory failure patients is a recommended practice. However, the effectiveness of weaning on High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is unclear. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with hypercapnic respiratory failure who received invasive ventilation were screened for enrolment. This study was a single-centre, prospective, randomized comparative study. The primary outcome was treatment failure within 72 hours after extubation. Patients who were screened positive for extubation were enrolled in the study and randomized into the HFNC group and NIV group using a computer-generated simple randomization chart. The treatment failure was defined as a return to invasive mechanical ventilation, or a switch in respiratory support modality (i.e., changing from HFNC to NIV or from NIV to HFNC). Of 72 patients, 62 patients were included in the study. Treatment failure occurred in 8 patients (26.67 %) in HFNC group and 8 patients in NIV group (25%) (p=0.881). The mean duration of ICU stay in HFNC group was 5.47±2.26 days and 6.56±3.39 in NIV group (p=0.376). In the current study, HFNC was non-inferior to NIV in preventing post-extubation respiratory failure in COPD patients, while HFNC had better treatment tolerance.
