Conditions
Summary
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is a common indication for admission to an intensive care unit (ICU), with mortality exceeding 50% in cases where invasive mechanical ventilation is needed. Therefore, assessment of the most adequate oxygen strategy to avoid intubation in patients with AHRF deserves consideration.Previous studies have indicated that non-invasive oxygenation strategies, including high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO), helmet or face mask noninvasive ventilation (NIV), and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), are effective in preventing endotracheal intubation in adult patients with AHRF when compared to the standard oxygen therapy. However, the optimal non-invasive oxygenation strategies remain uncertain. This study aim to determine whether CPAP, compared with HFNC or NIV, increase the intubation-free survival during study period in patients with AHRF.

Interventions
1. Patients were placed at a 45-degree supine position, and noninvasive ventilation was delivered to the patient through a face mask connected to an ICU ventilator. 2. PEEP was started at 5 cm H2O with a FiO2 of 0.5 at initiation. PEEP and FiO2 were titrated to maintain SpO2 between 94 and 98%, remaining constant for at least 5 min. 3. CPAP was initiated with a first session of at least 4 h, the minimally required duration of noninvasive ventilation was 16 hours per day for at least 2 calendar days. Between noninvasive-ventilation sessions, patients received HFNO.
1. Oxygen was passed through a heated humidifier (MR850, Fisher and Paykel Healthcare) and applied continuously through large-bore binasal prongs, with a gas flow rate of 50 liters per minute and an FiO2 of 0.5 at initiation. HFNO heating temperature was prespecified at 37°C. 2. FiO2 will be titrated to maintain SpO2 between 94 and 98%, remaining constant for at least 5 min. 3. HFNO was applied for at least 2 calendar days.
1. Patients were placed at a 45-degree supine position, and noninvasive ventilation was also delivered to the patient through a face mask connected to an ICU ventilator. The mask most appropriate for the patient will be selected and adjusted to minimize leakage and pressure points. 2. The inspiratory positive airway pressure (pressure support plus PEEP) was initiated between 12 and 14 cm H2O, PEEP was started at 5 cm H2O with a FiO2 of 0.5 at initiation. FiO2 was titrated to maintain SpO2 between 94 and 98%, remaining constant for at least 5 min. 3. NIV was initiated with a first session of at least 4 h, the minimally required duration of noninvasive ventilation was 16 hours per day for at least 2 calendar days. Between noninvasive-ventilation sessions, patients received HFNO.
