The goal of this randomized active-controlled study is to investigate the role of high velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) in the immediate post-extubation period and compare it with non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) as regards to weaning success rate. The study will recruit those who have been on invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 3 days and with a high risk of weaning failure.
This is a single center prospective randomized controlled open label trial of high velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) in the immediate post-extubation period versus noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). After at least 72 hours from intubation, for respiratoy failure, those who are considered to be eligible for weaning from mechanical ventilation based on the weaning protocol but are at high risk for extubation failure will be randomized to either HVNI or NIPPV. Data on the respiratory and cardiovascular status will be continuously monitored and recorded thereafter.
The primary outcome measure will be failure of either arm within 72 hours of initiation, leading to reintubation (or crossover only from a failed HVNI allocation to NIV based on clinical judgement to avoid reintubation in selected cases). Secondary outcomes to be investigated include: 1) Failure of HVNI or NIPPV after 72 hours from initiation, 2) hospital mortality, 3) length of ICU stay, 4) length of hospital stay, 5) incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia, 6) patient tolerance and comfort, and 7) ICU readmission or mortality at 28-days post hospital discharge.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| High Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI) | Experimental | HVNI (Precision Flow; Vapotherm®, Inc, Exeter, NH) will be delivered using a small-bore nasal cannula initiated at a flow rate set to 35 L/min, temperature of 35-37°C and FiO2 at 1.0. Adjustments in flow (up to 40 L/min) and temperature will be titrated to optimize patient's comfort. The target parameters after initiation will be as follows:
|
|
| Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) | Active Comparator | NIPPV will be initiated with an oronasal mask, with inspiratory and expiratory positive airway pressures (IPAP, EPAP) set at IPAP 10-20 cm H2O and EPAP 5-7 cm H2O to be titrated according to patient's response and comfort. FiO2 will be initiated at 1.0 for noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation. The target parameters after initiation will be as follows:

|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| High Velocity Nasal Insufflation | Device | A relatively new respiratory support modality which delivers very high velocity flows. This improves ventilatory efficiency via washing out carbon dioxide occupying the anatomical dead space of the upper airways. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Failure of HVNI / NIPPV within 72 hours of initiation | need to withdraw allocated respiratory support modality based on predefined arm failure criteria | within 72 hours from start of either allocated modality |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Failure of HVNI / NIPPV after 72 hours of initiation | need to withdraw allocated respiratory support modality based on predefined arm failure criteria | beyond 72 hours from start of either allocated modality |
| Length of ICU stay |

This is a single center prospective randomized controlled open label trial of high velocity nasal insufflation (HVNI) in the immediate post-extubation period versus noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). Allocation arm failure , assessed after 72 hours of extubation, will be the primary outcome. Cross-over from HVNI to NIPPV may be allowed in case of HVNI failure and potential benefit as judged by the treating clinical team prior to reintubation.
