Helmet NIV in Acute Respiratory Failure (NCT05022173)
Helmet NIV Versus Facemask NIV in Acute Respiratory Failure: A Pilot Randomized Control Trial
🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ⚙️ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a form of respiratory support that has been shown to prevent invasive mechanical ventilation and reduce mortality. This study will investigate the feasibility of performing a larger study examining whether a new modality of NIV, the helmet, is superior to the current face mask in reducing mortality in patients with sudden respiratory failure.
