History and epidemiology of noninvasive ventilation in the acute-care setting.

چکیده

Although noninvasive ventilation (NIV) was first used to treat patients with acute respiratory failure in the 1940s, the history of this mainstay of today's respiratory care armamentarium has mainly been written in the last 20 years. There is now a robust evidence base documenting the efficacy of NIV in exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and acute respiratory failure in immunocompromised patients, and evidence in support of NIV in other settings, such as hypoxemic acute respiratory failure and the management of patients who decline endotracheal intubation, is accumulating rapidly. Efficacy as demonstrated in clinical trials does not necessarily translate to clinical effectiveness in practice, however, and important barriers need to be overcome if NIV is to realize for the average patient the potential it has shown in research studies. However, although the expansion of its use in everyday patient care has lagged behind the growth of its evidence base, an increasing number of studies document the steadily expanding use of NIV in the acute-care setting. This article reviews the history of NIV as applied in acutely ill patients and summarizes the studies of NIV outside the research setting during the last decade.

Early Effectiveness of Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation on Right Ventricular Function in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Subjects with Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure

Introduction: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has become an integral tool in the management of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study was performed to evaluate the early effects of NIPPV on pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), serum N-terminal pro BNP (NT-proBNP), and ventilatory parameters in the COPD patients with...

The use of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in the palliative care of a patient with metastatic thoracic sarcoma: case report.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Palliative care is based on prevention and relief of suffering, identifying, assessing and treating pain and other physical, psychological, social and spiritual problems. Sudden dyspnea is frequently observed in terminal oncologic patients. In these cases, noninvasive ventilation can be an adequate option to control dyspnea promoting comfort and allowing patient intera...

Failure of Noninvasive Ventilation for De Novo Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: Role of Tidal Volume.

OBJECTIVES A low or moderate expired tidal volume can be difficult to achieve during noninvasive ventilation for de novo acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (i.e., not due to exacerbation of chronic lung disease or cardiac failure). We assessed expired tidal volume and its association with noninvasive ventilation outcome. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Twenty-four bed unive...

The many pros and the few cons of noninvasive ventilation in ordinary wards.

Traditionally, patients affected by acute respiratory failure (ARF) were (and commonly still are) admitted to intensive care unit if they required noninvasive ventilation (NIV) [1]. More than ten years ago, a pilot study reported the introduction of NIV in a Canadian hospital outside of a critical care setting [2]. NIV could be prescribed by every physician, in every ordinary ward, without a pr...
