Brief Summary

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

Noninvasive ventilation is commonly employed in patients with pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has been shown to reduce the need for intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. However, the rate of noninvasive ventilation failure remains substantial, at approximately 40%. Compared with patients in whom noninvasive ventilation succeeds, those who experience noninvasive ventilation failure have a higher likelihood of mortality during their intensive care unit or hospital stay. Therefore, improving the success rate of noninvasive ventilation is clinically important. In patients with lung consolidation receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can improve oxygenation. Noninvasive ventilation operates on similar physiological principles and can also deliver high PEEP via a mask interface. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence regarding the use of high PEEP during mask-delivered noninvasive ventilation. This study aimed to evaluate whether high PEEP can increase intubation-free survival in patients with pneumonia or ARDS who are treated with noninvasive ventilation.

Study Groups

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

High PEEP group

Patients in high PEEP group will received 10 to 15 cmH2O of PEEP during noninvasive ventilation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The level of PEEP during noninvasive ventilation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In patients receiving noninvasive ventilation, participants will be randomly assigned to either a low or a high PEEP group. In the high PEEP group, PEEP will be set between 10 and 15 cmH2O. In the low PEEP group, PEEP will be maintained at 5 cmH2O.

Low PEEP group

Patients in low PEEP group will received 5 cmH2O of PEEP during noninvasive ventilation.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

The level of PEEP during noninvasive ventilation

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

In patients receiving noninvasive ventilation, participants will be randomly assigned to either a low or a high PEEP group. In the high PEEP group, PEEP will be set between 10 and 15 cmH2O. In the low PEEP group, PEEP will be maintained at 5 cmH2O.
