Summary

This study will evaluate the ability of High Velocity Nasal Insufflation [HVNI] to effect ventilation and related physiologic responses in hypercapnic patients when compared to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation [NIPPV].

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adults, 18 years or older with a known or suspected diagnosis of COPD
  • Presentation with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure
  • Moderate to Severe patient baseline hypercarbia/hypercapnia, defined as a baseline PCO2 of 60 mmHg or higher
  • Venous pH of 7.0 - 7.35

Exclusion Criteria

  • Severe metabolic derangements (e.g. suspected drug overdose, mixed acid/base disorder)
  • Need for airway protection
  • Primary condition of Congestive Heart Failure
  • Need for emergent intubation
  • Pneumonia diagnosis with significant infiltrate on chest x-ray that is clinically correlated with pneumonia
  • Inability to provide informed consent
  • Pregnancy
  • Known contraindication to perform procedures listed, or therapies described in the protocol
  • Respiratory arrest or significant respiratory depression on presentation
  • Significant nasal occlusion either unilateral or bilateral
  • Absence of spontaneous respiration or known contraindication to HVNI
  • Extreme agitation or uncooperativeness that would hinder either arm of randomized therapy
  • Determined by the clinician to be sufficiently unstable or unsuitable for this study
