Condition(s) studied

Ventilated Patients

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

BaselineInstallation of high flow humidified air cannulaNasal air puffspropeller fan (FAN)

Baseline: patient ventilated through the tracheostomy with initial ventilator settings

Installation of high flow humidified air cannula: Installation of high flow humidified air cannula with inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) 21%

Nasal air puffs: Nasal air puffs synchronized with the inspiratory time of the ventilator

propeller fan (FAN): Stand-alone fan at the bedside directed toward the face of the patient

Study summary

The hypothesis of the present study is that restoring nasal stimulation alleviates dyspnea and improves respiratory drive. The aim of this study is to compare three non-pharmacological approaches designed to restore nasal stimulation (continuous nasal airflow, nasal sprays, and facial airflow) in tracheotomized patients dependent on mechanical ventilation.
