Study Summary

This trial is looking at whether high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) can help people with respiratory problems who can't tolerate non-invasive ventilation (NIV).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with non-severe hypercapnic respiratory failure, which means they have high levels of carbon dioxide in their blood and a lower than normal pH. It's not for those who can't read English or French, are pregnant, have certain severe conditions like shock or coma, drug-induced hypercapnia, or need immediate ventilation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two ways to give oxygen: High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) versus conventional low flow methods in patients with COPD experiencing high CO2 levels. The goal is to see if HFNC can correct gas exchange issues without needing mechanical ventilation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from the nasal cannula or mask used for oxygen delivery. There could also be risks associated with receiving too much or too little oxygen such as dryness of the airways, nosebleeds, and breathlessness.
