Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Changing HFNC flow rate  Patients admitted in adult intensive care unit in AIIMS, Jodhpur with Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure who are on HFNC and hemodynamically stable with PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than 300 will be selected for the study. Patients will be randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio to HFNC 60 group receiving flow at 60L/min initially for 1hour followed by 30L/min for next 1 hour) and HFNC 30 group (HFNC flow at 30L/min initially for 1 hour followed by 60L/min for next 1 hour) with FiO2 adjusted to maintain SPO2 more than 94%.The patients will be observed for one hour and at the end of one hour the study parameters -PCO2 ,PO2, PaO2/FiO2, ROX index , Respiratory Rate, Heart Rate and Mean Arterial Pressure will be recorded.  
Comparator Agent  Same patient will act as his own control since this is a prospective randomized cross over study.  After 1 hour the flow will be changed to 30L/min in HFNC 60 group and 60L/min in HFNC 30 group and patients will be again observed for one hour. At the end of one hour again the same parameters will be recorded. The change in study parameters will be compared in both the groups.

Brief Summary  

When using High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC), it is important to consider the flow settings, as they have a significant impact on the therapy’s physiological effects.The effect of different oxygen flow rates by HFNC on respiratory physiology has not been adequately studied.We plan this study to compare the clinical response (vitals and arterial blood gas parameters) on two different flows (30 Litres/Minute and 60 Litres/Minute ) of HFNC therapy in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with a PaO2/FiO2 < 300.Our hypothesis is that there is no difference in arterial blood gas and respiratory parameters at all point intervals between the HFNC flow rates 60 Litres/Minute and 30 Litres/Minute.

 Patients admitted in adult intensive care unit in AIIMS, Jodhpur with Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure who are on HFNC and  hemodynamically stable with PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than  300 will be selected for the study. The study participants will be recruited after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee and registration with the Clinical Trials Registry of India(CTRI). Patients will be randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio to HFNC 60 group (HFNC flow at 60L/min initially for 1hour followed by 30L/min for next 1 hour)and HFNC 30 group (HFNC flow at 30L/min initially for 1 hour followed by 60L/min for next 1 hour) with FiO2 adjusted to maintain SPO2 >94%.The patients will be observed for one hour and at the end of one hour the study parameters -PCO2 ,PO2, PaO2/FiO2, ROX index , Respiratory Rate, Heart Rate and Mean Arterial Pressure will be recorded .After that the flow will be changed to 30L/min in HFNC 60 group and 60L/min in HFNC 30 group and patients will be again observed for one hour. At the end of one hour again the same parameters will be recorded. The change in study parameters will be compared in both the groups. Subsequent treatment will be decided by the attending clinician.

The intervention will be labelled as a failure if fall in saturation below 92%, respiratory distress (RR >35) or hemodynamic instability (Fall in MAP of 5% or more) occur  during the  one hour observation period. The further management of the patient will be done as per the ICU protocol by the treating physician.
