Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
There is much interest in the use of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) to prevent intubation and afford a survival benefit for patients. The risk of pneumonia in patients receiving NPPV has been reported in 12 studies. Compared to patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (4 studies), the pneumonia rate is lower with the use of NPPV (relative risk [RR] 0.15, 95% confiden...

Prince Andrew married Sarah Ferguson on July 23 1986. That day also saw the first use in the United Kingdom of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation by nasal mask. Aged about fifty years, the patient had suffered pulmonary tuberculosis as a youngster and, in the days before antituberculous chemotherapy, had been treated with bilateral pneumothoraces, phrenic crush and finally an apical tho...
متن کاملعنوان: Impact of Care Program on Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Incidence: A Clinical Trial
چکیده: Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the common problems in patients who are under mechanical ventilation and increases the hospitalization duration and treatment expenses. The current study was conducted to determine the impact of a care program on VAP. Methods: This clinical trial was performed on intubated patients who were under mechanical ventilation in Intens...
متن کاملAcute applications of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.
Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been used increasingly to treat acute respiratory failure (ARF). The best indications for its use are ARF in patients with COPD exacerbations, acute pulmonary edema, and immunocompromised states. For these indications, multiple controlled trials have demonstrated that therapy with NPPV avoids intubation and, in the case of COPD and immunocomp...
