Eligibility:

All Genders

18-120 years

Phase:

Brief Summary

Late or delayed intubation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) treated with nasal high flow (NHF) is associated with increased patient mortality. The ROX index has been designe...

Detailed Description

This is a pilot study to assess whether the use of an algorithm incorporating the ROX index to traditional criteria for intubation in patients with AHRF supported with NHF is:(i) feasible; (ii) associ...
