About this trial
The primary objective is to quantify the caloric and protein intake in adult participants with acute respiratory failure who start a noninvasive ventilation treatment. The main question is:
\- Are participants meeting their caloric and protein target during noninvasive ventilation treatment? Participants will complete a five-day food diary collection starting from the initiation of noninvasive ventilation treatment.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age of 18 years or more
Hospitalization in the participant ordinary wards, intermediate care units and intensive care unit at the Maggiore della Carità University Hospital, Novara, Italy
Admission for acute respiratory failure of any cause requiring noninvasive ventilation treatment within 24 hours from hospital admission
Disqualifiers
Palliative noninvasive ventilation treatment
Contraindication to oral nutrition from hospital admission
Patients admitted for surgical or gastroenterological diagnosis
Severe immunocompromised patients or patients undergoing therapies contraindicating oral nutrition
Trial population
Adult patients admitted to the participant wards, intermediate or intensive care units for acute respiratory failure from any cause, undergoing noninvasive ventilation within 24 hours from hospital admission and without exclusion criteria, will be considered for enrollment.

Food diary
Other interventionA food and beverage diary will be collected for five days starting from the initiation of noninvasive ventilation, with caloric and protein intake quantified by a Nutrition Physician Specialist.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Caloric intake
Analysis of daily caloric intake per kilogram in patients undergoing noninvasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure
Protein intake
Analysis of daily protein intake per kilogram in patients undergoing noninvasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure.
Caloric and protein adequacy
Analysis of the discrepancy between patients' actual caloric and protein intake and the caloric and protein target recommended in the critically ill patients guidelines.
Secondary outcomes
Risk factors for undernutrition
Evaluation of potential associations between patient clinical and nutritional characteristics and undernutrition
Noninvasive ventilation complications
Occurrence of noninvasive ventilation treatment-related complications
Caloric and protein adequacy
Analysis of the discrepancy between patients' actual caloric and protein intake and the caloric and protein target recommended in the critically ill patients guidelines, according to the type of respiratory failure, hypoxemic vs hypoxemic-hypercapnic.
