Reducing Reintubation Risk in High-Risk Cardiac Surgery Patients With High-Flow Nasal Cannula

Vanderbilt University Medical Center·interventional·Posted Mar 4, 2021·Updated Apr 20, 2026

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Recommendation for high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy order set and Provider choice standard care order set for Intubation and Cardiovascular Surgical Procedure. Completed, enrolled 3,568 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The iCAN trial is a pragmatic randomized controlled trial that aims to test the hypothesis that HFNC versus usual care oxygenation strategies applied immediately after initial extubation after cardiac surgery decreases the all-cause 48-hour reintubation rate (extubation failure within 48 hours of initial extubation).

Interventions

Recommendation for high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy order setother

Participants will be assigned post extubation physician order set which recommends the administration of oxygen therapy via HFNC. HFNC is a heated and humidified system that allows prescribed fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) levels to be delivered at very high flow rates.

Provider choice standard care order setother

Participants will receive order set with provider choice of standard care therapy.
