• Use of NIV has markedly increased over the past few years
• Also requires identification of the appropriate patient for the application of NIV
assessment of the patient and his or her condition determines if the patient is a
candidate for NIV
• Factors that affect the success of NIV in patients with ARF are
• Clinicians' expertise
• Selection of patient
• Choice of interface
• Proper monitoring
• Patient motivation

Heart rate Decrease
• Breath trigger includes spontaneous patient effort (with pressure support) or a time
• IPAP 8–20 cm H2O for respiratory rate < 25 breaths per minute
• Example:
respiratory rate, and Paco2 more than a pressure support of 10 cm H2O with PEEP
of 10 cm H2O
• Triggers to the breaths include patient effort (with assisted breaths) or a time
• 250–500 mL (4–8 mL/kg) volumes to obtain a respiratory rate < 25 breaths per
minute
• Coma
• Massive agitation
• Immunocompromised patients
Potential benefits of NIV in severe stable COPD
• Can improve respiratory muscle strength

Monitoring noninvasive ventilation in COPD: basic aspects in a chronic
setting
• Patient comfort
• Hours of use
• Problems with adaptation (eg, nasal congestion, dryness, gastric insufflation, conjunctival irritation,
inability to sleep)
• Gas exchange: daytime, nocturnal oximetry, blood gases measured periodically to assess PaCO2
• Unmotivated patient
therapy
• CPAP and BiPAP modalities both are effective, with CPAP possibly being more effective
• Patients with hypercapnic respiratory acidosis may derive the greatest benefit from noninvasive
ventilation.
• Asthma
• “Do-not-Intubate” patients
• Improvement with noninvasive ventilation best achieved in patients also with COPD
• Decrease in intubation rate and mortality may be limited to those also with COPD
Asthma

• Benefit noted with level CPAP levels in 7.5- to 10-cm water range
• Better outcomes in CHF, awake patients, and those with strong cough (mobilized
secretions)
• Trauma
Rib fractures (traumatic, with nonpenetrating chest injuries)
• No mortality benefit

Overview of Noninvasive Ventilation
• Noninvasive ventilation has now become an integral tool in the management of both
acute and chronic respiratory failure, in both the home setting and in the critical care
unit.
• Noninvasive ventilation has been used as a replacement for invasive ventilation, and
• The role of noninvasive ventilation in those with chronic respiratory failure is remains
to be defined.
• There is a growing interest in the use of NIV in patients with acute and chronic
respiratory failure
• When applied in the setting of acute respiratory failure it may obviate the need for
endotracheal intubation and thus preserve speech and swallowing, and reduce the
trauma associated with the insertion of an endotracheal tube
• NIV can significantly reduce infectious complications, duration of ICU stay and
respiratory failure
• Can also be of some benefit to patients with postoperative hypoxaemia, acute lung
