PRACTICAL is a platform trial that enables phase II and III evaluation of a range of potential interventions and strategies to improve outcomes for patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). AHRF is a common, life-threatening condition that leaves patients vulnerable to lung and diaphragm injury associated with mechanical ventilation along with other nosocomial complications of critical care. The platform enrols adult patients with AHRF to evaluate various related interventional strategies. Dr. Heath leads the statistical analysis committee for the PRACTICAL trial and the IMPaCT lab contributes to the design and analysis of different research questions within this trial.
