Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this randomized cross-over trial is to assess the physiological effects of three different facemasks for noninvasive ventilation (Nivairo, Visairo, Optiniv) in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Facemask 'Nivairo'

Oronasal mask for noninvasive ventilation

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Noninvasive ventilation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Respiratory support with a facemask connected to a ventilator through a heated humidifier. Ventilator will be set in the pressure support mode.

Bridge-free facemask 'Visairo'

Bridge-free facemask for noninvasive ventilation. This Bridge-Free NIV contacts the patient's nose only on the nostrils

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Noninvasive ventilation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Respiratory support with a facemask connected to a ventilator through a heated humidifier. Ventilator will be set in the pressure support mode.

Facemask 'Optiniv'

Facemask for noninvasive ventilation favoring carbon dioxide washout

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Noninvasive ventilation

Intervention Type DEVICE

Respiratory support with a facemask connected to a ventilator through a heated humidifier. Ventilator will be set in the pressure support mode.
