Frequent assessment of whether the patient is improving is critical.Įffective for acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (Lin, Chest 1995)ĭecreased intubation rates, hospital mortality in patients with COPD and hypoxemic respiratory failure (Plant, Lancet 2000 and Ferrer, Am Jnl Resp Care 2003)Įffective for weaning off mechanical ventilation (Nava, Ann Int Med 1998) Low-High approach: Start at 8-10 cm H2O for PIP and 3-5 for PEEP and uptitrate as neededĭo not delay endotracheal intubation if patients are not improving quickly on NIPPV as this can lead to worsened patient condition and unfavorable conditions for intubation. High-Low approach: Start around 20-25 cm H2O for PIP and 5-8 for PEEP and wean as tolerated PSV: Pressure support ventilation (no set rate, pressure support given to patient initiated breaths)ĪVAPS: Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (Similar to PRVC on a mechanical ventilator, uses algorithm to continually estimate pressure needed to deliver the set tidal volume)īiPAP device (i.e.
PCV: Pressure control ventilation (similar to pressure control on an invasive ventilator with set rate) 61% of those that failed nasal cannula responded to HFNC ( Franklin et al, NEJM 2018 )ĬPAP (4-8) or HFNC of 4-8LPM to reduce work of breathing ( flow rates of 2L/kg/min seem to be associated with delivered PEEP ).ĬPAP: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure
Cpap peep setting trial#
In a multicenter randomized trial of infants <12 months of age with bronchiolitis treated outside of an ICU, those who received high flow nasal cannula at 2 L/kg/min (avg weight ~ 7.3-7.6 kg) had significant less treatment failure than those who were started on regular nasal cannula at 2L/min.
Cpap peep setting manual#
Can try manual application of gentle CPAP at low pressures with Mapelson mask to first get patient accustomed to PPV Tolerance: Sedation is rarely needed (dexmedetomidine is a reasonable drug to use if need be). Gastric distension/aspiration: NGT to suctionĭifficulty with secretions: Breaks off NIPPV Pressure necrosis at nasal bridge: can try duoderm and alternate interfaces or time off to mitigate risk
