Home NIV: Aims and Targets
Dan Adler, St.Gallen 2012
Aims of home NIV are:
 To improve QoL and symptoms related to hypercapnia (questionnaires)

To improve nocturnal SpO2 and correct nocturnal hypoventilation
(nocturnal SpO2/PtCO2)

To ensure that leaks are minimal, and estimated VE is adequate (What
information can we get from built-in softwares? Can we trust this
information?)

To improve quality of sleep (Do we really need PSG during NIV? Is there a
surrogate marker for inspiratory effort and for cortical arousal?)
Why should we monitor NIV during sleep?

Patients on HMV admitted (yearly) to monitor NIV.


20 OHS patients in stable condition admitted to monitor NIV



55% with PVA
40% with periodic breathing under NIV
48 patients admitted for a scheduled control in a phase of clinical
stability.


41/53 patients presented any abnormality (leaks, desaturation dips or
continuous desaturation)
No IE during day NIV trial/ IE very frequent finding during sleep
30 COPD patients in stable condition (no overlap syndrome), ~1/3
patients complained of severe dyspnea immediately after
interruption of NIV in the morning.

PVA found in all patients using PSG and subjective improvement of sleep
quality after setting NIV with a predefined approach

New Tools:


PTT (pulse transit time)
PWA (pulse wave amplitude)

Questionnaire

SRI is more sensitive than SF36 to detect HRQL
changes in this specific population
Windisch, ERJ 2008
SRI too long for routine clinical practice?
Windisch, ERJ 2008
If NIV is intended to improve sleep, we should aim at
maximal comfort during the night
8 item VAS assessing sleep, comfort, perception of synchronisation, airflow, leaks,
noise.
Janssens, Respir Med, 2008; Adler Sleep and Breathing 2011
Basic Monitoring: SpO2 monitoring is
certainly not enough during NIV
Desaturation drops
Sustained desaturation > 10min
Both patterns are non-specific for the underlying mechanism leading to desaturation
Janssens, Thorax 2010
Poor correlation between diurnal PaCO2
and mean nocturnal PtCO2
Sn= 3/(3+18)= 14.3%
Paiva, ICM 2009
Normal values of nocturnal oximetry do not allow to
exclude nocturnal hypoventilation
Nocturnal SpO2 is not a
surrogate marker of PCO2

Built-in Software: What can we trust?

Many recent home
ventilators have built-in
software which allows
monitoring of items such
as:


Compliance
Leaks
Vt, MV, RR
% of triggered cycles
% of spontaneous

New tools for NIV monitoring at home?
PTT: Pulse Transit Time
PWA: Pulse Wave Amplitude
Basic knowledge: PTT changes with
intrathoracic pressure swings
Basic knowledge: PWA reduction is a
surrogate marker of cortical arousal in
healthy subjects and in OSA
PTT: Smith ,Thorax, 1999 PWA: Delessert, Sleep 2010
Obstructive or central event?

HRQOL.
 SRI questionnaire
Nocturnal PtCO2 monitoring is mandatory.
 Diurnal ABG is not a surrogate marker
 Nocturnal SpO2 is not a good surrogate marker
Trust your built-in software only if it has been independently validated.
Use of PG/PSG only in special situations. In this case, take advantage of the
sleep study to adapt the NIV settings while the patient is asleep.
New ambulatory tools may be available in a near future.
 PWA is a surrogate marker of arousal related to respiratory events
under NIV
 PTT for classification between central and obstructive respiratory events
under NIV
