OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: At study end, 4 hours from study start

Clinician's subjective assessment of the expected and perceived patient outcomes as a result of therapy following testing, rated as units on a visual analog scale from 0 to 100. Lower scores indicate a better outcome.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
High Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI)
n=31 Participants
Patients randomly assigned to this arm will be placed on HVNI therapy with an appropriately fitted Vapotherm Prosoft HVNI nasal cannula. Physiologic and ventilation parameters will be recorded. High Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI): The purpose of this intervention is to evaluate the efficacy of HVNI in clinically stabilizing patients presenting with hypercapnic respiratory distress.
Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV)
n=25 Participants
Patients randomly assigned to this arm will be placed on NIPPV therapy with an appropriately fitted full face mask using a pressure support mechanical ventilator system. Physiologic and ventilation parameters will be recorded. Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV): The purpose of this intervention is to evaluate the efficacy of NIPPV in clinically stabilizing patients presenting with hypercapnic respiratory distress.
