Case Reports Helmet Noninvasive Ventilation for Weaning From Mechanical Ventilation
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 then during the ventilator-weaning process, pressure support, and finally continuous positive airway pressure. The patient had no complications from the helmet, and he was discharged from intensive care 48 hours after helmet ventilation was initiated. Helmet noninvasive ventilation is a potentially valuable ventilator-weaning method for certain patients.

متن کاملNIV-Helmet in Severe Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a method to be applied in acute respiratory failure, given the possibility of avoiding tracheal intubation and conventional ventilation. A previous healthy 5-month-old boy developed low-grade intermittent fever, flu-like symptoms, and dry cough for 3 days. On admission, he showed severe respiratory distress with SpO2/FiO2 ratio of 94. Subsequent evaluation ident...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of pressure support ventilation and volume assured pressure support ventilation on weaning patients off mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery
Background: Weaning from mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit is an important step in the treatment process. More patients in less than 6 hours after cardiac surgery can be separated from mechanical ventilation and extubated. However, 20-40% of patients after cardiac surgery, due to dysfunctional ventilator weaning response (DVWR), still remain under mechanical ventilation. Therefo...
متن کاملSequential invasive-noninvasive mechanical ventilation weaning strategy for patients after tracheostomy.
BACKGROUND Because the continuity and integrity of the trachea are likely damaged to some extent after tracheostomy, the implementation of sequential ventilation has certain difficulties, and sequential invasive-noninvasive ventilation on patients after tracheostomy is less common in practice. The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of invasive-noninvasive sequential weaning stra...
متن کاملWaiting to Exhale: Optimizing Noninvasive Synchrony in COPD?
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has become a widely used modality for many types of respiratory conditions. Some advantages of NIV include lower sedation requirement, preservation of cough and pulmonary clearance, and reduced frequency of ventilator-associated pneumonia.1 NIV has been used successfully in patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema.2-4 It has been shown to decrease intubation durat...
