Predictors of Non-Invasive Ventilation Failure in Severe Respiratory Failure Due to Community Acquired Pneumonia
BACKGROUND Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been used for acute respiratory failure to avoid endotracheal intubation and intensive care admission. Few studies have assessed the usefulness of NIV in patients with severe community acquired pneumonia (CAP). The use of NIV in severe CAP is controversial because there is a greater variability in success compared to other pulmonary conditions. MA...
متن کاملSevere community-acquired pneumonia.
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the leading cause of death from infectious diseases in the United States. It accounts for 500,000 hospitalizations and 45,000 deaths each year, and it represents one of the most common causes of ICU admission. The mortality rate due to severe CAP has shown little improvement over the past few years, with rates as high as 58% when patients were admitted to t...
متن کاملNon-invasive ventilation in a pregnancy with severe pneumonia
INTRODUCTION Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is not proven to be effective in treating respiratory failure in severe pneumonia. However, some clinicians nevertheless attempt NIV to indirectly deliver adequate oxygenation and avoid unnecessary endotracheal intubation. CASE PRESENTATION In this article, we report the case of a 24-year-old woman at 32 weeks' gestation who presented with hypoxemic...
متن کاملNon-invasive positive pressure ventilation for a severe legionella pneumonia case.
Legionella pneumonia has a serious clinical course and requires treatment at intensive care unit. The need for mechanical ventilation is one of the determinants of prognosis. Mortality rate is higher in patients treated with mechanical ventilation. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) provides mechanical ventilation without endotracheal intubation and decreases the incidence of ven...
متن کاملMiddle molecules in severe community-acquired pneumonia
Results Patients admitted had mean age of 62 ± 1.2 years, PORT classes IV-V and mean Pneumonia Severity Index score of 108.5 ± 3.8. In all patients on admission there was a high level of endogenous intoxication manifested by 1.8 times increasing levels of MM compared to the control group (0.262 ± 0.001 versus 0.146 ± 0.02 optic units, p < 0.05). There was a positive trend with a decline of MM o...
