Noninvasive ventilation in severe acute asthma.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in severe acute asthma is controversial but may benefit this population by preventing intubation. We report on a 35-year-old male asthma patient who presented to our emergency department via emergency medical services. The patient was responsive, diaphoretic, and breathing at 35 breaths/min on 100% oxygen with bag-mask assistance, with S(pO2) 88%, heart rate 110-12...
متن کاملAssisted ventilation in severe acute asthma.
During the period 1973-85 assisted ventilation was used for the treatment of severe asthma on 48 occasions in 18 patients (one patient was ventilated 29 times). On each occasion arterial blood gas abnormalities were restored to normal as quickly as possible irrespective of peak inflation pressures. One patient was thought to be brain dead on transfer from another hospital but was ventilated for...
متن کاملNoninvasive ventilation in severe acute asthma? Still far from the truth.
Despite the continuous improvement in the therapeutic strategy for asthma, there is still a subset of asthma exacerbations—severe acute asthma—that still requires access to the emergency department and, eventually, hospitalization.1-3 It’s estimated that approximately 5–10% of asthmatic patients experience a severe acute asthma episode in a given year, and that there are approximately 2 million...
متن کاملA prospective randomized controlled trial on the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation in severe acute asthma.
BACKGROUND Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an emerging modality in the management of patients with acute respiratory failure. However, its role in severe acute asthma is not well defined. OBJECTIVE Evaluate the efficacy of NIV in severe acute asthma. METHODS Patients with severe acute asthma were randomized to receive either standard medical therapy or NIV in addition to medical therapy. T...
متن کاملMechanical ventilation in severe asthma
In their review on mechanical ventilation in severe asthma, Stather and Stewart [1] raise a concern that use of external positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) will result in increased total PEEP and worsened gas trapping [1]. Of critical importance to our understanding of whether application of external PEEP will be beneficial is assessment of the presence or absence of expiratory flow limita...
