Observational, Cross-over Study of the Positive Distending Pressure Generated by Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula as Compared to Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating High Flow Nasal Cannula for Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Cronic Lung Disease. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The specific aims of this study are to evaluate the amount of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) gas flow required to generate an equivalent positive distending pressure as that provided by nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) of 6 cm H2O, assess the relationships between positive distending pressure, gas flow, oxygen requirement, and patient weight, and lastly, develop an appropriate protocol to be used in the NICU for transitioning patients from NCPAP to an equivalent amount of HFNC.
