988: COST ANALYSIS OF NONINVASIVE HELMET VENTILATION COMPARED WITH USE OF NONINVASIVE FACE MASK IN ARDS

Noninvasive face mask ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure.

Noninvasive face mask ventilation has been used successfully in patients with paralytic respiratory failure. This study evaluated whether noninvasive face mask ventilation can be used for patients with acute respiratory failure due to intrinsic lung disease. Six patients with hypercapnia and four with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure met clinical and objective criteria for mechanical ventila...

Noninvasive Nasal Mask Ventilation

Setting: A ward of respiratory medicine of a tertiaryreferral teaching hospital. Patients: The study group included 15 patients with acute respiratory acidosis. These patients had pH less than 7.35 and PaC02 more than 60mm Hg, respiratory rate of 30 breaths or less per minute, hemodynamic stability, and alertness and willingness of cooperation with the NMV treatment. The control group consisted...

Noninvasive ventilation is more than mask ventilation.

Case Reports Helmet Noninvasive Ventilation for Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation

We saw a patient who presented with carbon dioxide narcosis and acute respiratory failure due to an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We intubated and 12 hours later he had recovered consciousness and could cooperate with noninvasive ventilation, at which point we extubated and used a helmet to provide noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation in assist/control mode, and th...
