About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Heart Decompensation

Eligibility Criteria

19 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject who was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and objective evidence of pulmonary congestion (pulmonary edema on simple chest radiography or positive B-line on lung ultrasonography AND elevated B-type natriuretic peptide or N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide level) as a reason for invasive mechanical ventilation
  2. Age over 19 years old
  3. Subject who agrees to the study protocol and the schedule of clinical follow-up, and provides informed, written consent, as approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board/Ethical Committee of the clinical site.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject who are on mechanical circulatory support (ECMO, intra-aortic balloon pump, VAD) at the time of randomization
  2. Subject who has cardiac abnormality that requires emergent or urgent percutaneous or surgical valvular procedure
  3. Subject who are on vasoactive or inotropic agents at least moderate dose defined as vasoactive-inotropic score >10
  4. Isolated preload-dependent cardiac dysfunction (isolated right ventricular failure, right ventricular infarction, constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, severe pulmonary hypertension without LV dysfunction)
  5. Predominant right ventricular failure defined as following; clinical evidence of right ventricular failure by attending physician's discretion including hepatojugular reflux, Kussmaul sign, cardiac liver cirrhosis, hepato/splenomegaly, acites, thronmbocytopenia, etc.
  6. Subject who are not on mechanical ventilation before open heart surgery
  7. Subject who received unwitness cardiopulmonary rescucitation (CPR) or witness CPR lasting more than 30 minutes
  8. Subject who was already diagnosed or is suspected to have hypertophic cardiomyopathy with significant left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction
  9. Subject with intracranial hemorrahge or ischemic stroke at the time of randomization
  10. Subject with irreversible neurologic damage or irreversible hepatic failure
  11. Invasive mechanical ventilation lasting more than 24 hours preceding endotracheal intubation
  12. Subject with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (GOLD classification III or IV) or restrictive pulmonary disease (e.g. interstitial lung disease)
  13. Subject with impaired consciousness that can not perform self coughing and need suction to maintain adequate airway patency
  14. Pregnant and/or lactating women
  15. Subject with life expectancy less than a year
  16. Subject who is not suitable to enrollment by investigator's discretion

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

High PEEP

Low PEEP

Arm Description

Immediate after initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation and randomization, the PEEP level is set to be at 8 centimetre of water with an inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) between 0.21 and 0.6. Thereafter, the PEEP level is adjusted to 1 centimetre of water higher to a minimum PEEP level of 10 with every 30 minutes.

Immediate after initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation and randomization, the PEEP level is set to be at 5 centimetre of water with an inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) between 0.21 and 0.6. In this arm, the PEEP level is adjusted to 1 centimetre of water lower to a minimum PEEP level of 3 with every 30 minutes while maintaining a partial pressure of arterial blood oxygen above 65 millimeter of mercury or oxygen saturation >92% with pulse oxymetry.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Ventilator-free day at 28-day
Starting at the day of randomization, and the days on non-invasive ventilation do not count. Successful extubation is defined as at least 24 hours wihtout reintubation independent of invasive assisted ventilation in survivor. Non-survivor within 28 days: ventilator-free day counted as 0, ventilator-free day among only survivor at 28-day will be counted for primary endpoint.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Little is known about optimal level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in patiens who recieved invasive mechanical ventilation for acute decompensated heart failure. We therefore sought to compare clinical outcome according to low versus high PEEP.
