Ventilation noninvasive

Nervous System A case of anisocoria has been affribufed to iprafropium [46 ]. A 7-year-old child with severe refractory asthma was admitted in the pediatric intensive care xmit. The patient was started on noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and received nebulised salbutamol and ipratropium. Eighteen hours after the admission anisocoria was noted, which gradually subsided once ipratropium was stopped. Nebulised ipratropium leaking from the NIV may be transferred to the conjunctiva, causing the anticholinergic side effects.

The team can also assess the impact of repeated weaning failures specifically when to consider noninvasive ventilation, nocturnal ventilation, or HMV as well as how to best address issues that impact health-related quality of life, such as speech, swallowing, and mobility. 

It is useful to define the disease category in order to predict the natural history and specific intervention. It is well known that patients with primarily restrictive disorders can have both inspiratory and expiratory muscle weakness, and apart from noninvasive ventilation (NIV), they also need cough assistance (4,5). On the other hand, patients with obstructive disorders rarely need mechanical expiratory aids except when they have a severe infectious exacerbation at which time difficulties in clearing copious secretions can occur (4,6,7).

Successful assisted ventilation depends critically upon adapting mechanical ventilation to the patient s needs. This is particularly true when the noninvasive mode is used, because the patient is conscious and if ventilation is ineffective or uncomfortable, the patient may reject it. In patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF), noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is performed during sleep and comfort is particularly important if sleep is not to be compromised. An understanding of the technical equipment, in partieular the elassiQeation and modes of ventilation and the potential problems with each, is cmcial, as is the selecticm of an appropriate interface. This chapter deals with the equipment needs for home mechanical ventilation (HMV), in particular the major ventilator types and modes, interfaces, accessories, and monitoring.

Patients with thoracic restriction or advanced parench)mial diseases, who develop respiratory failure, represent a heterogeneous group. For such patients, nocturnal noninvasive ventilation is the preferred alternative. The results are very encouraging among those with stable thoracic restriction and less clear among those with advanced parenchymal diseases. The development of specialized facilities for long-term ventilation is described elsewhere in this book. 

Acute exacerbations superimposed on advanced chronic disease require the effective administration of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) to improve morbidity and mortality. NIV should also enable a steady improvement in spontaneous ventilatory capacity. A decrease in partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (Paco2) during ventilation and subsequently during unassisted respiration is the best indicator of effective NIV (1,2). 

Patient-Ventilator Interfaces for Invasive and Noninvasive Ventilation... 

Figure 1 Rate of use of three different noninvasive interfaces (oro-nasal mask, nasal mask, nasal pillows), as reported by the studies where noninvasive ventilation was utilized to treat acute left) and chronic (right) patients. The oro-nasal mask is the interface of choice in patients with acute or acute on chronic ventilatory failure, while it is less commonly employed for domiciliary treatment of stable chrcniic ventilatory failure. The nasal mask is preferred for long-term treatment of chronic patients. Source From Refs. 39 and 40.

Some studies suggest that liberation from mechanical ventilation is a requirement for decannulation (6), but this precludes the provision of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) as part of decannulation and may be impossible for some patients who could otherwise be dec-annulated. Other reports recognize that decannulation may proceed to NIV 24 hours a day without the requirement of an artificial airway (7) provided bulbar function is adequate and airway clearance is achieved (8).
