Brief Summary

In this pilot study the feasibility of performing a larger trial to study the non-inferiority of High Flow Nasal Oxygen compared to non-invasive ventilation in patients with acute acidotic hypercapnic...

Detailed Description

Rationale: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is frequently complicated by a worsening of symptoms, known as acute exacerbations (AECOPD). These exacerbations can result in a life-threatenin...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Known chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Acute hypercapnic exacerbation of this condition, defined as: PaCO2\>45 mmHg or \>6.0 kPa and pH 7.20-7.35
  • Age \>40 years

Exclusion

  • Asthma
  • Immediate need for intubation, based on clinical judgement of the attending physician.
  • Impossibility to apply either one of the two interventions
  • Patient not expected to give immediate or delayed informed consent (e.g. known cognitive impairment, dementia, active serious psychiatric disease, mental retardation).
  • Established home-NIV or home CPAP, known indication for home-NIV or CPAP (e.g. OSAS or obesitas hypoventilation syndrome).
  • Impeding death
  • Concurrent (respiratory) diseases that may influence treatment efficacy: acute heart infarction, cardiogenic lung edema, massive pulmonary embolism (intermediate-high risk or more). NB; pulmonary infections (viral and bacterial) are a common cause of exacerbation and are no reason for exclusion.
  • Other acute diseases that preclude participation in the trial such as hemodynamic instability (need for vasopressors), reduced consciousness with need for intubation, severe intoxication
  • Tracheostomized patients
  • Participation in other interventional trials
  • Impossibility to admit the patient to the participating ICU or monitored ward (e.g. medium care / high dependency unit, depending on local infrastructure).
  • Previous explicit (or written) objection to participation in research - bicarbonate \<20 mmol/L
