Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Application of high flow nasal cannula in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure.   Patient with hypoxemic respiratory failure arriving at department(RICU) will be assessed at 0 hrs for application of HFNC. HFNC will be terminated if any of the following criteria for termination is met adopted from British thoracic guidelines; respiratory rate 40/min or Spo2 90 despite max FiO2, worsening hypercapnia, deterioration of GCS 12, severe hemodynamic instability. After HFNC application, Respiratory rate oxygenation index(ROX) AND HACOR score will be calculated at 1,2 and 6 hrs and will be compared to see which is better prognostic utility in predicting success of HFNC.Because NIV and HFNC both aim to prevent invasive ventilation, some studies have validated the HACOR scale for predicting HFNC failure, with most results showing favorable discrimination indices. The primary outcome was HFNC success, defined as no intolerance or escalation towards mechanical ventilation or non-invasive ventilation within 48 h.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Primary outcome was defined as no intolerance requiring hfnc removal and no escalation to invasive or non invasive ventilation within 48 hours after hfnc application i.e HFNC will be terminated if any of the following criteria for termination is met adopted from British thoracic guidelines; respiratory rate 40/min or Spo2 90 despite max FiO2, worsening hypercapnia, deterioration of GCS 12, severe hemodynamic instability.  After applying HFNC, respiratory rate oxygenation (ROX) and HACOR(The HACOR score is based on five components: heart rate, acidosis, consciousness, oxygenation, and respiratory rate) score will be calculated at 1,2 and 6 hours after first application of HFNC. Patient will be observed for 48 hours to see if there is escalation of oxygenation support in the form of ventilator(invasive or non invasive) 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare individual components of the scoring index  Individual components of scoring (heart rate, respiratory rate & SpO2) will be assessed at 1,2 & 6 hours after application of HFNC.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Oxygen delivered through HFNC  has been successfully used in several settings. However the indications are not absolute with much of the prove and benefit being subject and physiologic most data to support it are derived from observational studies using physiological outcomes or from randomised trial studying heterogeneous population. As hfnc is non invasive and may benefit in overall mortality prevention in patients with respiratory failure, a proper scoring is lacking to predict the success of its application and preventing the escalation of therapy. The ROX index may help guidelines in this regard. The main aim of the study is to compare ROX index versus HACOR scale in predicting hfnc success in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. At 1,2 and 6 hours after hfnc initiation two parameters will be assessed for the utility in predicting hfnc success. 
Hacor scale consists of five components with weighted score points the components are pulse rate (0-1), ph(0-4), GCS (0-10),PaO2/Fio2 (0-6) and respiratory rate(0-4).
