Introduction: Acute respiratory failure is a common cause of Intensive care Unit admission for cancer patients. Non-invasive ventilation comes in between the two extreme situations: either provide only oxygen or ventilate invasively. This study was done to find the usefulness and efficacy of non-invasive ventilation in a cancer patient. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done at Nepal Cancer Hospital. Data analysis of patients requiring non-invasive ventilation at the Intensive care Unit from April 14, 2018, to April 13, 2019, were included. Results: Among 68 studied patients, the primary reason for the initiation of non-invasive ventilation sepsis (16.32%), pneumonia (10.88%), and lung cancer (10.2%). Postoperative atelectasis, pulmonary edema, and morphine overdose were associated with good respiratory improvement and Intensive care Unit survival (100%, 75% and 66.67% respectively). Respiratory failure with carcinoma lung, lung fibrosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, terminally ill patients, and patients with low Glasgow Coma Scale had high failure rates (Survival: 13.33%, 14.29%, 16.67%, 0%, and 20% respectively). Conclusions: Non-invasive ventilation seems to be an effective way of ventilation for cancer patients. The selection of patients and timely initiation of non-invasive ventilation is of utmost importance for a better outcome.

IntroductionA palliative approach to intensive care unit (ICU) patients with acute respiratory failure and a do-not-intubate order corresponds to a poorly evaluated target for non-invasive oxygenation treatments. Survival alone should not be the only target; it also matters to avoid discomfort and to restore the patient’s quality of life. We aim to conduct a prospective multicentre observational study to analyse clinical practices and their impact on outcomes of palliative high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFOT) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in ICU patients with do-not-intubate orders.Methods and analysisThis is an investigator-initiated, multicentre prospective observational cohort study comparing the three following strategies of oxygenation: HFOT alone, NIV alternating with HFOT and NIV alternating with standard oxygen in patients admitted in the ICU for acute respiratory failure with a do-not-intubate order. The primary outcome is the hospital survival within 14 days after ICU admission in patients weaned from NIV and HFOT. The sample size was estimated at a minimum of 330 patients divided into three groups according to the oxygenation strategy applied. The analysis takes into account confounding factors by modelling a propensity score.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the ethics committee and patients will be included after informed consent. The results will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberNCT03673631

The development of medical technologies and the emergence of new methods of respiratory support with extensive capabilities to control positive pressure on the inhale and exhale made it possible to implement non-invasive ventilation. The integration of microprocessors in modern respiratory interfaces, on the one hand, and a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of respiratory failure, on the other hand, made it possible to improve and implement various methods of non-invasive respiratory support in everyday clinical practice. The experience gained in recent decades with the use of non-invasive ventilation made it possible to widely use this method of respiratory support in a wide variety of clinical situations. However, the selection of patients for mask ventilation, the choice of method and algorithm for its application, prognosis of effectiveness, prevention of negative effects, as before, remain relevant. This dictates the need to continue studying the clinical efficacy of non-invasive ventilation in patients with respiratory failure of various origins. The review presents the possibilities and limitations of the use of non-invasive respiratory support in patients with respiratory failure in the intensive care unit.
