Background. Correct volume management is essential in patients with respiratory failure. We investigated the ability of respiratory variations in noninvasive pulse pressure (ΔPP), photoplethysmographic waveform amplitude (ΔPOP), and pleth variability index (PVI) to reflect hypovolemia during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation by inducing hypovolemia with progressive lower body negative pressure (LBNP).Methods. Fourteen volunteers underwent LBNP of 0, −20, −40, −60, and −80 mmHg for 4.5 min at each level or until presyncope. The procedure was repeated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. We measured stroke volume (suprasternal Doppler), ΔPP (Finapres), ΔPOP, and PVI and assessed their association with LBNP-level using linear mixed model regression analyses.Results. Stroke volume decreased with each pressure level (−11.2 mL, 95% CI −11.8, −9.6,P<0.001), with an additional effect of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (−3.0 mL, 95% CI −8.5, −1.3,P=0.009). ΔPP increased for each LBNP-level (1.2%, 95% CI 0.5, 1.8,P<0.001) and almost doubled during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (additional increase 1.0%, 95% CI 0.1, 1.9,P=0.003). Neither ΔPOP nor PVI was significantly associated with LBNP-level.Conclusions. During noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, preload changes were reflected by ΔPP but not by ΔPOP or PVI. This implies that ΔPP may be used to assess volume status during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation.

Aims: The study aimed to compare and analyze the outcomes of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) in the treatment of patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) who had extubation after weaning from mechanical ventilation. Methods: A total 120 patients with AHRF were enrolled into this study. These patients underwent tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. They were organized into two groups according to the score of Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II); group A: APACHE II score <12; group B: 12⩽ APACHE II score <24. Group A had 72 patients and patients given HFNC were randomly assigned to subgroup I while patients given NPPV were assigned to subgroup II (36 patients in each subgroup). Group B had 48 patients and patients given HFNC were randomly assigned to subgroup I while patients given NPPV were assigned to subgroup II (24 patients in each subgroup). General information, respiratory parameters, endpoint event, and comorbidities of adverse effect were compared and analyzed between the two subgroups. Results: The incidence of abdominal distension was significantly higher in patients treated with NPPV than in those treated with HFNC in group A (19.44% versus 0, p = 0.005) and group B (25% versus 0, p = 0.009). There was no significant difference between the HFNC- and NPPV-treated patients in blood pH, oxygenation index, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, respiratory rate, and blood lactic acid concentration in either group ( p > 0.05). Occurrence rate of re-intubation within 72 h of extubation was slightly, but not significantly, higher in NPPV-treated patients ( p > 0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between HFNC and NPPV in preventing respiratory failure in patients with AHRF with an APACHE II score <24 after extubation. However, HFNC was superior to NPPV with less incidence of abdominal distension. The reviews of this paper are available via the supplemental material section.

Transmural cardiac pressures, stroke volume, right ventricular volume, and lung water content were measured in normal dogs and in dogs with oleic acid-induced pulmonary edema (PE) maintained on positive-pressure ventilation. Measurements were performed prior to and following application of 20 cmH2O positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). Colloid fluid was given during PEEP for ventricular volume expansion before and after the oleic acid administration. PEEP significantly increased pleural pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance but decreased right ventricular volume, stroke volume, and mean arterial pressure in both normal and PE dogs. Although the fluid infusion during PEEP raised right ventricular diastolic volumes to the pre-PEEP level, the stroke volumes did not significantly increase in either normal dogs or the PE dogs. The fluid infusion, however, significantly increased the lung water content in the PE dogs. Following discontinuation of PEEP, mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and stroke volume significantly increased, and heart rate did not change. The failure of the stroke volume to increase despite significant right ventricular volume augmentation during PEEP indicates that positive-pressure ventilation with 20 cmH2O PEEP decreases right ventricular function.
