Introduction to Noninvasive
Ventilation


Abbreviated NPPV, NIPPV, or NIV
Supports ventilation without artificial airway



bag-mask provides the earliest example
Encompasses both ventilation and CPAP
Typically provided by nasal or oral mask
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Introduction to Noninvasive
Ventilation (cont.)

Use has increased due to:




Improved patient interfaces
Improved quality of NIV ventilators
NIV software available for critical care ventilators
Reports of success in literature
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
5
Types of Noninvasive Ventilation


Can be provided by a number of mechanisms
Pneumobelt




Rubber bladder strapped to abdomen
Bladder filling compresses abdominal contents
pushing up diaphragm causing exhalation
Bladder deflation causes diaphragm to fall and
inhalation occurs
Some patients prefer this while in wheelchair
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

7
Types of Noninvasive Ventilation

Negative-pressure ventilators (NPV)

Negative pressure around thorax causes pressure
gradient across chest wall – inspiration occurs
• Iron lung: widely for polio epidemic (1920-1960s)


Surrounds entire body
Porta lung is a simplified, cheaper version
• Chest cuirass: seals around the chest
 NPV fell from use with development of positivepressure ventilation

Airway protection
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
11
Acute Care: COPD

Hypercapnic respiratory failure due to COPD
is primary indication for NIV


Strong evidence of efficacy in reducing
• Need for intubation
• Hospital mortality and length of stay
• Complications
Standard of care for managing an acute
exacerbation of COPD
• First-line therapy
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
12
Acute Care: Asthma & Cardiogenic
Pulmonary Edema

Asthma and NIV



Some evidence of positive results
• Improved P/F ratio, PaCO2, and pH
• Reduction intubation rates
Use remains controversial
Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema:


Numerous studies show power of CPAP
• CPAP first-line therapy
NIV reserved for those with ventilatory failure
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
13
Acute Care: CAP &
Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

CAP and NIV


Only improves outcomes with COPD patients who
develop pneumonia
Hypoxemic respiratory failure (P/F < 300)


First-line therapy for immunocompromised, awaiting
transplant, and post lung resection
NIV very controversial for all other groups
• If used, note marked improvement in 1 to 2 hours or accept
failure and intubate.

60% mortality noted if intubation is further delayed
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
14
Acute Care:
Other Indications for NIV

DNI patients (do not intubate)


Postoperative use shows promise


Only use if it makes patient more comfortable or to
manage a reversible disorder
Some evidence CPAP post abdominal surgery
improves outcomes
NIV to facilitate weaning


Reserve for COPD and CHF patients
For other patient groups, NIV instead of reintubation
worsened outcomes
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
15
Noninvasive ventilation may be used for a
patient with a DNI (do not intubate) order, in all
of the following situations, except:
A.
B.
C.
D.
Make patient more comfortable
Patient refuses artificial ventilation
Managing a reversible disorder
Manage obstructive sleep apnea
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
16
Chronic Care:
Restrictive Thoracic Diseases

Indicated for patients: post polio, NMD, chest
wall deformities, spinal injuries, and severe
kyphoscoliosis

If evidence of nocturnal hypoventilation
• Hypersomnolence, morning headache, fatigue, dyspnea,
cognitive dysfunction
• If present, use NIV to prevent chronic hypercapnia and
associated hypoxemia

Helps by resting muscles, lowering CO2, and
improved compliance, FRC, and deadspace
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
17
Chronic Care of COPD Patients


Use is controversial
Consensus conference recommendation

Use for severe COPD with symptoms of nocturnal
hypoventilation and one of the following
• PaCO2 > 55 mm Hg
• PaCO2 50 to 54 mm Hg with nocturnal
desaturation
• Two hospital admissions for ventilatory failure
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
18
Hypoventilation



Associated with a number of diseases
including central and obstructive sleep apnea
and lung parenchymal diseases
Nasal CPAP is first-line therapy
NIV is recommended when other first-line
therapies failed to alleviate hypoventilation
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
19
Patient Selection & Exclusion &
Predictors of Success: NIV



Selection is generally established by signs
and symptoms of respiratory distress (see
Box 45-3).
Exclusion occurs once the need for
ventilatory assistance has been established
(see Box 45-4).
Predictors of success

Summarized in Box 45-5 but generally patients
are not as sick and/or respond rapidly to NIV
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

Noninvasive Ventilators


Most are electrically powered, blower driven,
microprocessor controlled
Designed to work with small leak and
compensate for that leak


Advantage: Patient ability to trigger and cycle
properly in face of small to moderate leaks
Internal oxygen blender is desirable but often
absent

hard to obtain >0.5 FIO2

33
Noninvasive Ventilators (cont.)

Typical modes





CPAP
Pressure support (PSV)
Pressure assist/control (P-A/C)
With PSV and P-A/C, machine is patient or time
triggered, pressure limited, and flow or time
cycled
Generate lower rates, pressures, and flows than
ICU ventilators
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.

35
All of the following are types of NIV modes, except:
A.
B.
C.
D.
CPAP
PSV
PRVC
P-A/C
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
36
Critical Care Ventilators


Much more sophisticated, allow for precise
oxygen control, high flows, pressures, etc
Inability to compensate for leaks is common

Often results in triggering and cycling issues
• PSV breaths end at set percent peak flow; if flow does not fall
to set percent, may lock in inspiration
• Modern vents can adjust cycle off percent
• Time-cycling solves problem and improves patient comfort


Often causes lots of nuisance alarms
Use full-face mask to minimize leaks
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
37
Critical Care Ventilators


CPAP, PSV, and P-A/C have all have been
used.
VC modes used but not recommended


Various NIV packages now available on ICU
ventilators; some will




Leaks can lead to hypoventilation
Compensate for leaks
Allow audio alarm deactivation
Set maximum inspiratory time (great option)
No proven advantage of any mode

39
Humidification


Patients with symptoms of sneezing, nasal
draining, nasal and oral dryness, and/or nasal
obstruction benefit from humidity therapy
Heated humidity relieves many of above
symptoms, thus improving patient compliance


Heat to about 30º C (patient comfort level).
As length of use is unpredictable, recommend
use of humidification for all patients receiving
NIV
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
40
Identifying Success
or Failure of NIV

Success easy to identify



Improved ABGs: PaCO2 decreases, pH increases,
PaO2 increases
Clinical improvement: decreased RR, VT
increased, diminished accessory muscle use
Failure


If in 1 to 2 hours the above are not noted; move to
intubation
Waiting too long can result in cardiac arrest
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
41
Adjusting NIV

Adjustments determined by patient presentation
and ABGs


High PaCO2: Increase pressure (VT) or rate
Low PaCO2: Decrease pressure (VT) or rate
• Often rate is for backup only; if set in A/C may have above
effects, but patient inspiratory efforts override ventilator
setting


High PaO2: Decrease oxygen or PEEP
Low PaO2: Increase oxygen or PEEP
• When PEEP is adjusted, may alter pressure gradient and
thus VT
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
42
Monitoring NIV

Must assess for

Leaks
 Accessory muscle use
 Ventilator synchrony and patient comfort
 Improved vital signs and ABGs


If patient worsens on optimal setting, think
immediate intubation
Particular attention must be paid to those with
respiratory failure
Copyright © 2013, 2009, 2003, 1999, 1995, 1990, 1982, 1977, 1973, 1969 by Mosby, an imprint of Elsevier Inc.
