Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effectiveness of using high flow nasal cannula oxygen delivery method (HFNC) in comparison with non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with COVID-19
Design
The present study is a clinical trial with two intervention groups, with parallel and double-blind groups, randomized with a sample size of 60 patients.
Settings and conduct
This study is performed as a clinical trial in patients with covid-19 referred to the corona ward of Masih Daneshvari Hospital in Tehran who need to be hospitalized and receive respiratory support. The collected data are real and experimental. Based on the objectives and hypotheses of this study, the clinical conditions and important parameters obtained from arterial blood gas analysis of patients after treatment with high flow nasal cannula oxygen delivery and non-invasive ventilation will be examined. Simple randomization is done using codes assigned to each patient and based on the file number. Patients with an even code are in the high-flow oxygen delivery group, and patients with an odd code are in the non-invasive ventilation group. To treat any possible complications, the care provider is not blind. Other blind groups are as below: Participants and data analyzer researcher
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: oxygen saturation less than 90%, Signing a written consent to participate in the study, Age over 18 years Exclusion criteria: Acute or chronic pulmonary or renal failure, pregnancy or breastfeeding, acute heart failure
Intervention groups
Patients with COVID-19 disease who require hospitalization and respiratory support are divided into two groups. In the first group, patients receive oxygenation through a high-flow nasal cannula, and in the second group, patients receive non-invasive ventilation.
Main outcome variables
Arterial blood gas analysis

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
With simple randomization and using a random number table and individual randomization unit. To randomize, we use a table consisting of random digits 0 to 9. Each digit of this table is repeated the same on average. There is no pattern of recognizable numbers. In this method, each number is assigned to a treatment group. We start from the first line of the table and move down line by line. For the two treatments, we put the numbers 0 to 4 for treatment A and the numbers 5 to 9 for treatment B. The numbers in the first line of the table are as follows: 0,5,2,7,8,4,3,7,4,1,6,8,3,8,5,1,5,6,9,6, ... Now for people based on the above numbers, we have the following allocation: A, B, A, B, B,... We will continue the above process until the two groups are completed.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
Blinding description
To prevent any possible complications, the primary caregiver is aware of the allocation of treatment groups. Patients in the study were also not blinded to the treatment they were receiving. Researchers responsible for data collection and analysis are not aware of the allocation of different study groups.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Before starting oxygen therapy, patients undergo treatment approved by the Ministry of Health. Oxygen therapy of patients is performed during the period of receiving Remdesivir. Before starting oxygen therapy, clinical examination and analysis of arterial blood gases in these patients will be on the agenda. Oxygen delivery to the patient with the high flow nasal cannula is then done (a device with Fisher & Paykel model) for 24 hours. Flow and temperature are adjusted according to the patient's satisfactory breathing. After 24 hours and in the next stage, 48 hours after the start of oxygenation, patients' clinical manifestations and ABG results will be evaluated.

Description
Intervention group: In the second group, as in the first group, patients undergo treatment approved by the Ministry of Health. During the period of receiving Remdesivir, non-invasive ventilation is on the agenda. Before starting oxygen therapy, the clinical condition and arterial blood gas analysis of these patients will be reviewed.24 hours after non-invasive ventilation and in the next stage, 48 hours after the onset of oxygenation, clinical symptomes and ABG results of patients will be evaluated.
