1 Importance of Protocols in the Decision to Use Noninvasive Ventilation Janice L. Zimmerman, M.D. Weill Cornell Medical College The Methodist Hospital Houston, Texas Objectives Review application of protocols in critically ill patients Understand impediments to use of protocols Discuss components of a protocol for noninvasive ventilation Protocols in Critical Care -Mayo Clin Proc 2004;79:992 -Crit Care Med 2007;35:41 1

2 Protocols in Critical Care -Crit Care Med 2008;36:1444 -Crit Care Med 2007;35:1660 -Lancet 2008;371:126 Value of Protocols Apply best practice Standardize management Education Decrease complications Improve outcomes Decrease costs Protocol Compliance Lung protective strategy for ALI Little change in academic centers Often discontinued Barriers Control of ventilator Recognition of ALI Concern over adverse effects 2

3 Protocol Compliance Loss of physician control Lack of agreement with protocol Lack of knowledge/awareness Failure to diagnose Lack of resources Fear of adverse events Inertia/lack of motivation Why develop an NIV protocol? Frequently (or infrequently) used Easy to identify patients Management variability Good for patient care Avoid intubation Complications of MV Improve outcomes Components of NIV Protocol Patient selection Clinical manifestations Respiratory condition Initiation Adaptation Monitoring Weaning 3

4 Which one of the following patients with a COPD exacerbation is the best candidate for noninvasive ventilation? A. Obtunded patient with ABG ph 7.25, PCO 2 80, PO 2 60 on room air B. Patient with hematemesis (red blood) on arrival to hospital C. Patient with ABG ph 7.37, PCO 2 52, PO 2 60 on room air; RR 18/min D. Alert patient with RR 28/min, use of accessory muscles after 2 nebs E. Obese patient with RR 24/min, HR 120/min, BP 82/40 mm Hg Patient Selection Step 1: Need for ventilatory assistance Clinical signs and symptoms* Moderate - severe dyspnea Use of accessory muscles Paradoxical breathing Respiratory rate 25/min *At least 2 should be present Patient Selection Step 1: Need for ventilatory assistance Gas exchange parameters ph <7.35 with PaCO 2 >45 mm Hg PO 2 /FiO 2 <300 4

5 Patient Selection Step 2: Presence of contraindications Absolute exclusion criteria Need for intubation Respiratory arrest Hemodynamic instability Cardiac ischemia or arrhythmia Inability to cooperate Patient Selection Step 2: Presence of contraindications Absolute exclusion criteria Craniofacial trauma/burns Recent facial surgery Active upper GI bleed High aspiration risk Inability to protect airway Patient Selection Step 2: Presence of contraindications Relative exclusion criteria Extreme anxiety Massive obesity Excessive secretions Condition not expected to improve in hrs 5

6 Which one of the following patients is most likely to avoid intubation when NIV is used? A. Patient with asthma exacerbation B. Patient with lobar pneumonia C. Patient with acute pulmonary edema D. Patient with pulmonary edema who failed extubation E. Patient with COPD exacerbation Patient Selection Step 3: Appropriate respiratory condition COPD exacerbation Acute asthma Acute pulmonary edema/chf Pneumonia Immunocompromised patients ARDS Weaning from MV Extubation failure Postoperative respiratory failure Neuromuscular disease -Lancet 2008;371:126 COPD Patients in the ICU Prospective, randomized study (n=85) Per cent (%) --Brochard, et al. NEJM 1995;333:817 6

Lancet 2000;355:1931 Systematic Review of NIV 15 COPD studies 2 studies of mild COPD --Keenan et al. Ann Intern Med 2003;138:861 NIV in Hypercapnic Coma Prospective, open uncontrolled study Compared patients with/without coma Per cent (%) --Diaz, et al. Chest 2005;127:952 7

8 Asthma 5/39 required intubation (Meduri et al, Chest 1996;110:767, Fernandez et al, Inten Care Med 2001;27:486) No significant advantage (Holley et al, Acad Emerg Med 2001;8:1128) More effective for delivery of nebulized medications (Pollack et al, Ann Emerg Med 1995;26:552) NIV for Asthma in the ED Severe asthma (FEV 1 <60%) Treatment with NIV for 3 hrs Hospitalization (17.6% v. 62.5%) n=30 n=15 n=15 Soroksky et al. Chest 2003; 123:1018 NIV in Asthma Moderate-severe asthma that does not respond to initial therapy Use nasal or face mask Use 2 levels of pressure Inspiratory 10 (8-18) cm H 2 O Expiratory 4-5 (3-8) cm H 2 O 8

9 Which one of the following is most correct regarding use of NIV in acute pulmonary edema? A. Bilevel NIV is associated with a lower intubation rate than CPAP B. Bilevel NIV reduces left ventricular preload (PAOP) more than CPAP C. CPAP is associated with a lower incidence of MI than bilevel NIV D. Improvement in oxygenation is similar with CPAP and bilevel NIV Acute Pulmonary Edema Nonrandomized study (n=27) 2 levels of support (NIV) compared to CPAP Frequency of MI with NIV CPAP NIV Hemodynamic Effects of NIV in Heart Failure Variable Baseline NIV Systolic pressure (mm Hg) Heart rate (bpm) Respiratory rate (rpm) SVR (dyne s cm 3 ) Cardiac output (L/min) Ejection fraction (%) Acosta et al. Chest 2000;118:1004 9

10 Acute Pulmonary Edema Randomized study of O 2, CPAP and NIV (n=80) Intubation: 42% with O 2, 7% with CPAP, 7% with NIV Oxygen Respiratory rate/min Oxygen CPAP NIV PaO 2/FiO2 ratio --Park et al, Crit Care Med 2004;32:2407 Acute Pulmonary Edema Randomized study of O 2, CPAP & NIV No difference in intubation n=1069 Oxygen --Gray et al, NEJM 2008;359:142 NIV for Pulmonary Edema Giacomini et al (Chest 2003;123:2057) Patients with cardiogenic hypoxemic respiratory failure (n=58) Treated with NIV in the ED Weaning trial after 90 min Responders (74%) did not require ICU admission 10

11 Acute Pulmonary Edema Can use CPAP or NIV If CPAP used, change to NIV with dyspnea or significant hypercapnia Monitoring is important Pneumonia Confalonieri et al. (AJRCCM 1999;260:1585) 21% vs 50% required intubation Benefit only in COPD Jolliet et al. (Intensive Care Med 2001;27:812) 22/24 initially improved 66% required intubation NIV in Pneumonia Comparison in patients (without COPD) with pulmonary edema and pneumonia PO 2 /FiO 2 No decrease in RR --Domenighetti, et al. Inten Care Med 2002;28:

AJRCCM 2003;168:1438 NIV in Pneumocystis Pneumonia Prospective study, case-control in patients with ARDS Used 2 levels of pressure Avoided intubation in 67% Less days in ICU and hospital Improved ICU survival 75% vs 38% --Confalonieri et al. Inten Care Med 2002;28:1233 NIV in Pneumonia Less success Condition usually slower to improve More success with interstitial pneumonias Consider NIV in patients with COPD and pneumonia Use with caution in lobar pneumonia 12

13 Immunocompromised Patients Prospective, randomized study --Hilbert et al, NEJM 2001;344:481 ALI/ARDS No studies in ARDS alone No benefit on intubation or ICU mortality* May consider in mild ALI Monitor for deterioration Routine use not recommended *Agarwal et al. Respir Med 2006;100:2235 NIV in Postoperative Patients Respiratory failure Respiratory rate and dyspnea Reintubation Mortality rate Prophylactic use of NIV Lung resection Gastroplasty 13
