Non-invAsive VentIlation for early General wArd respiraTory failurE (NAVIGATE): A multicenter randomized controlled study. Protocol and statistical analysis plan

Few randomized trials have evaluated the use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for early acute respiratory failure (ARF) in non-intensive care unit (ICU) wards. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that early NIV for mild-moderate ARF in non-ICU wards can prevent development of severe ARF.
