What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Acute hypoxemic de novo respiratory failure (AHRF) is a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). Its main cause is community-acquired pneumonia. Prevention of intubation relies, among other things, on high-flow nasal canulae (HFNC). However, approximately 40% of patients are intubated despite HFNC. Our team has developed measurements derived from electroencephalograms (EEG) and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) that enable the study of brain-ventilation interactions. To date, these tools have been studied exclusively in intubated patients. the investigators now wish to study them in non-intubated patients. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between the brain and lungs in adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and for whom the attending physician has decided to initiate HFNC.
