Abstrakt: Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were reports of a shortage of ventilators and oxygen supply, particularly in resource-limited settings. We report the preliminary evaluation of a non-invasive positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) mask in hospitalized non-critically ill patients with COVID-19.
Methods: We randomly assigned hospitalized adult patients with confirmed COVID-19 infection and requiring greater than 40% supplemental oxygen to either standard care oxygen delivery (control) or via Materialise passive non-invasive PEEP device mask (intervention; Belgium). The primary outcome was a change in mean respiratory rate from baseline over the first three hours after the commencement of the intervention. Secondary outcomes included dyspnea score, need for escalation of respiratory or cardiovascular support, days alive and free of ICU, and day-28 mortality.
Results: Between April 30, 2021, and October 10, 2021, we enrolled 132 (65 control, 67 intervention) patients in the study. The mean respiratory rates at baseline were 23 ± 3 and 23 ± 3 in the control and intervention groups, with no significant differences at three hours (23 ± 2.3 vs. 23 ± 2.1, p=0.14). The control group had a higher mean dyspnea score compared to the intervention group (day 5: 5.4 ± 1.6 vs. 4.7 ± 1.4, p=0.015; day 6: 4.7 ± 1.7 vs. 4.0 ± 0.7, p=0.008). A higher proportion of patients in the control group required escalation of respiratory support (38%), as compared to intervention (12%) (p=0.0004). The two groups had no significant differences across other secondary outcomes or with respect to adverse events (barotrauma, aspiration pneumonia, need for vasopressor support).
Conclusions: The use of the novel mask compared to standard care in hospitalized non-critically ill patients with COVID-19 was not associated with reductions in the respiratory rate but was associated with a reduction in the need for escalation of respiratory support without an increase in adverse effects. Large-scale clinical trials of this device are warranted.
