Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, also called noninvasive ventilation (NIV), is delivered through a noninvasive device, such as a full-face mask. Unlike the systems for invasive ventilation, which is delivered through an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube, the NIV delivery system is not a closed system, and so it leaks. The size of the leak affects the tidal volume delivered and the ability of the patient to trigger the machine into inspiration or cycle the machine into expiration. The acceptable leak for most systems is less than 35% of the peak inspiratory flow (leakage may be expressed as a percentage or as liters per minute).

Acute respiratory distress syndrome, characterized by the Berlin criteria, is associated with a high mortality rate. Its treatment includes addressing the underlying etiology, general supportive measures, and achievement of effective oxygenation. New key data indicates that in a subset of patients, noninvasive ventilation techniques can be a therapeutic and equivalent alternative to traditional invasive ventilation. We present a rare case of ARDS triggered by nasal bupropion inhalation and effectively treated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation resulting in complete resolution.

Although so-called invasive ventilation can be life-saving, it can also cause significant morbidity. It has long been recognized that positive pressure ventilation can also be delivered “non-invasively” to critically ill patients through several different types of “interfaces” (usually a tight-fitting face mask). Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation explains when and how to use noninvasive ventilation to treat patients with respiratory failure. It provides a detailed explanation of how noninvasive (bi-level) ventilators differ from the standard ICU ventilators, describes the available modes and breath types as well as the indications and contraindications for noninvasive ventilation, and explains how to initiate, monitor, and adjust noninvasive ventilation.

Background. There is a growing controversy about the use of oronasal masks (ONM) or total facemask (TFM) in noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), so we designed a trial to compare the uses of these two masks in terms of effectiveness and comfort.Methods. Between February and November 2014, a total of 48 patients with respiratory failure were studied. Patients were randomized to receive NPPV via ONM or TFM. Data were recorded at 60 minutes and six and 24 hours after intervention. Patient comfort was assessed using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed usingt-test and chi-square test. Repeated measures ANOVA and Mann–WhitneyUtest were used to compare clinical and laboratory data.Results. There were no differences in venous blood gas (VBG) values between the two groups (P>0.05). However, at six hours, TFM was much more effective in reducing the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) (P=0.04). Patient comfort and acceptance were statistically similar in both groups (P>0.05). Total time of NPPV was also similar in the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions. TFM was superior to ONM in acute phase of respiratory failure but not once the patients were out of acute phase.

Objective : To assess the role of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in patients of acute exacerbation of COPD with respiratory failure, also to reduce endotracheal intubation (ETI) and the frequency of complications associated with ETI. Materials and Methods : Prospective, single blind, randomized controlled trial study (RCT) comparing the effect of combined standard medical treatment and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation with standard medical treatment alone in patients admitted to National Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital (NIDCH), Mohakhali, Bangladesh over a 12-month period. Results : A total number of 60 patients of acute exacerbation of COPD with type II respiratory failure were enrolled from inpatient department of Institute of Diseases of the Chest and Hospital (NIDCH), Mohakhali, Bangladesh. A total of 30 (thirty) were randomly assigned to standard therapy and 30 (thirty) to noninvasive ventilation. The two groups had similar clinical characteristics on admission to the hospital. The use of noninvasive ventilation significantly reduced the need for endotracheal intubation (which was dictated by objective criteria): 12 of 30 patients (40.0%) in the noninvasive- ventilation group were intubated, as compared with 22 of 30 patients (73.3%) in the standard-treatment group (P=0.01). In addition, the frequency of complications was significantly lower in the noninvasive-ventilation group. The mean ( ± SD) hospital stay was significantly shorter for patients receiving noninvasive ventilation. 19.2±5.7days vs. 23.5±8.3 days, (P 0.02). The in-hospital mortality rate was also significantly reduced with noninvasive ventilation, 5 of 30 patients (16.7%) in the noninvasive- ventilation group died in the hospital, as compared with13 of 30 (43.3%) in the standard-treatment group( P 0.04) Conclusions : In selected patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, noninvasive ventilation can reduce the need for endotracheal intubation, complications, the length of the hospital stay, and the in-hospital mortality rate.

Noninvasive ventilation has been used extensively to treat chronic respiratory failure associated with neuromuscular and other restrictive thoracic diseases, and is also effective in the treatment of acute respiratory failure, allowing some patients to avoid intubation. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is a potentially effective way to transition selected patients off endotracheal mechanical ventilation. The authors present a retrospective chart review of pediatric patients extubated with the use of noninvasive ventilation. Extubation with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation was attempted in 25 patients. The patients had a variety of diagnoses, including neuromuscular diseases, cerebral palsy with chronic respiratory insufficiency, asthma, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), reflecting the diversity of patients with respiratory failure seen in our pediatric intensive care unit (ICU). Indications for noninvasive ventilation-assisted extubation were chronic respiratory insufficiency, clinical evidence the patient was falling extubation, or failure of a previous attempt to extubate. Extubation was successfully facilitated in 20 of 25 patients. Of the five patients failing an initial attempt at noninvasive ventilation-assisted extubation, two required tracheostomy, two were subsequently extubated with the aid of noninvasive ventilation, and one was subsequently extubated without the use of noninvasive ventilation. Risk factors for failure to successfully extubate with the assistance of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation included the patient's inability to manage respiratory tract secretions, severe upper airway obstruction, impaired mental status, and ineffective cough with mucus plugging of the large airways. AU patients had mild to moderate skin irritation due to the mask interface. No patient had any serious or long-term adverse effect of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. All patients left the hospital alive. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation can facilitate endotracheal extubation in pediatric patients with diverse diagnoses who have failed or who are at risk of failing extubation, including those with neuromuscular weakness.
