One-Year Outcomes in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Enrolled in a Randomized Clinical Trial of Helmet Versus Facemask Noninvasive Ventilation.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Many survivors of acute respiratory distress syndrome have poor long-term outcomes possibly due to supportive care practices during "invasive" mechanical ventilation. Helmet noninvasive ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome may reduce intubation rates; however, it is unknown if avoiding intubation with helmet noninvasive ventilation alters the consequences of surviving acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Design

Long-term follow-up data from a previously published randomized controlled trial.

Patients

Adults patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome enrolled in a previously published clinical trial.

Setting

Adult ICU.

Intervention

None.

Measurements and main results

The primary outcome was functional independence at
