The efficacy of NIMV to treat HARF has been widely demonstrated. However, in most of the studies performed in ICUs and in another facilities the mean age of the patients is usually less than 70 years.
A multicentric, randomized-controlled trial conduced in a group of "ELDERLY" patients with the mean age higher than 76 years, to compare the use of NIMV with Standard Medical Treatment (SMT) in the treatment of an episode of Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure.

Arms | Assigned Interventions |
1: Experimental
non-invasive ventilation with BiPAP Vision or another ICU ventilator with NIV option
|
Device: Non-invasive mechanical ventilation using a BiPAP Vision or any other ICU ventilators with NIV option
A mode of ventilation that does not require the insertion of the endotracheal tube, since the support is delivered throgh a full face or nasal mask
Drug: standard medical therapy plus oxygen that includes salbutamol, prednisolone and antibiotics as needed
Standard medical therapy includes drugs like beta2-agonists, steroids, anthicolinergic agents- antibuiotics as needed
|
2: Active Comparator
standard therapy + oxygen
|
Drug: standard medical therapy that includes salbutamol, prednisolone and antibiotics as needed
oxygen plus medical therapy for ARF
|
Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) has been successfully used in Hypercapnic Acute Respiratory Failure (HARF) since endotracheal intubation (ETI) and invasive ventilation are associated to high morbidity and mortality rate.
because of the lack of beds in most Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and the high mortality and cost associated with the increased of age, the "Elderly" patients affected by ARF due to chronic diseases are not always considered for ETI.
The efficacy of NIMV to treat HARF has been widely demonstrated. However, in most of the studies performed in ICUs and in another facilities the mean age of the patients is usually less than 70 years (see tab1).
