Summary

This trial is testing a breathing support device to see if it can improve breathing in patients with lung injury. The device uses a plastic shell and vacuum to help the chest expand with breathing. Results will show if it can help those with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Who is the study for?
Adults with non-heart-related lung injury needing high-flow oxygen can join this trial. They must have started using a high-flow nasal cannula within the last four days and maintain certain oxygen levels. People with unreliable pulse-oximetry, chest injuries, severe blood pressure issues, do-not-intubate orders, or conditions affecting device fit like severe spine curvature cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a non-invasive breathing support device called CNEP improves breathing in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Participants will receive different levels of negative pressure (CNEP30, CNEP20, CNEP10) along with standard high-flow nasal cannula therapy to see which works best.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort from wearing the device over the chest/abdomen and possible skin irritation where it fits. Since it's non-invasive, risks are lower compared to invasive procedures but could also include difficulty tolerating the sensation of negative pressure.
