Noninvasive ventilation represents the standard of care for patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, NIV fails in almost 30% of the most severe forms of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure and patients must undergo endotracheal intubation and invasive ventilation to restore adequate gas exchange. Under these circumstances, patients may express a clear intention not to be intubated.The aim of this study is to retrospectively assess efficacy and safety of noninvasive ventilation- plus-extracorporeal Co2 removal in patients who fail NIV and refuse endotracheal intubation.
Volume-targeted noninvasive ventilation (VT-NIV), a hybrid mode that targets a preseted tidal volume (VT) by automated adjustment of pressure support, could guarantee the delivered VT over pressure-limited noninvasive ventilation (PL-NIV) with fixed level pressure support. Whether VT-NIV is more effective in improving gas exchange in patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) as compared with PL-NIV remains unclear. Our aim was to verify whether in comparison with PL-NIV, use of VT-NIV was more effective in correcting hypercapnia, hence reducing the need for intubation and improving survival in patients with AHRF.
The aim of the study is to investigate respiratory parameters of a person in the simulated avalanche snow and consequent use of the measured data for development of a mathematical-physical model of breathing during increasing hypercapnia in the avalanche.
Investigators studied 15 patients scheduled for pulmonary resection through thoracotomy. Initial tidal volume (VT) 10ml kg-1 was reduced to 8ml kg-1 after one lung ventilation (OLV) and the rate adjusted to maintain partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) 30-35 mm Hg. Data were obtained at: T1, 15 min post establishing OLV with normocapnia, T2, 15 min post establishing OLV with hypercapnia (PaCO2 7.98kPa (60mmHg) and 9.31kPa (70mmHg) and pH >7.1), and T3, 15 min after resuming OLV with normocapnia. One-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA), with post hoc Dunnet´s test were used for analysis. A P value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
The study explores the changes in pressure, volume and in hypercapnia in patients with COPD and ILD. The investigators will use different application forms.
The purpose of this study is to show that a permissive hypercapnia during mechanical ventilation in children under general anaesthesia will improve cerebral perfusion.
Nasal High Oxygen Flow (HOF) has been demonstrated to reduce the re-intubation rate in hypoxic patients and ameliorate breathing pattern in hypercapnic patients. The aim of this study is to better understand the physiological mechanism underlying these results, assessing the respiratory mechanics in stable hypercapnic COPD patients.
In patients undergoing NIV for acute respiratory, lack of tolerance is one of the main reason of failure. This may result in a poor synchrony between the patient and the machine, leading to gross mismatching and potentially to an increased work of breathing. The investigators aim to investigate whether in these patients poorly responding to NIV the use of a sedation protocol using remifentanil will lead to an improve patient-ventilator interaction and better compliance to NIV.
Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure is common in stable COPD patients in a terminal phase of their disease In an attempt to correct or slow down the rate of rise of PaCO2, long-term noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) has been proposed. Only very few studies demonstrated the clinical efficacy of NIV. Indeed this technique is not always well tolerated and therefore it may be effective only in a subset of patients The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of "one shot" extrcorporeal CO2 removal device, in reducing the PaCO2 level
