Patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) who fail non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and subsequently require intubation face a significantly elevated risk of death. No formal clinical guidelines currently exist to assist clinicians in identifying which patients are most likely to fail NIV in a timely manner. Existing clinical scoring tools, incl1Read more

A research study from the University of California, San Diego, describes an innovative approach to improving respiratory support decisions in intensive care units by integrating a large language model with an existing deep learning system. The work addresses a critical clinical challenge: determining whether patients at high risk of requiring inva1Read more

In ICUs, extubation decisions are challenging, as 20-30% of patients experience post-extubation respiratory failure, with 10-15% requiring reintubation. Reintubation has high mortality rates and is a key patient outcome in the post-extubation period. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) and high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) therapies, when applied imme1Read more

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used to assist spontaneous breathing in patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure (AHRF) and can reduce the need for intubation, mortality, and ICU stay. However, if NIV fails, it can increase mortality if intubation is necessary, and high respiratory effort not controlled by NIV might ca1Read more

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in blunt chest trauma patients without immediate life-threatening injuries is commonly used to prevent the need for endotracheal intubation. However, the actual benefits of NIV in this context have not been extensively studied. Existing literature in this field has been limited by variations in study designs, patient1Read more

Most forms of ventilatory support in intensive care before the 1950s were noninvasive without direct access to the lower airways, using face mask for positive pressure or generating negative pressure around the chest. Ventilators stimulating negative pressure were designed in the late 19th century. The first application of positive end-expiratory 1Read more

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is recommended for immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure in the ICU. However, it can have harmful effects. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) alone could be an alternative strategy to reduce mortality. The HFNC Alone or Associated With NIV for Immunocompromised Patients Admitted to ICU for Acute R1Read more

In seriously ill older adults or those near the end of life, acute respiratory failure is a common cause of hospitalisation. These hospitalisations are generally complicated by distressful respiratory symptoms and transitions that require the use of high-intensity, high-risk interventions, including invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and non-in1Read more

Getinge has received 510(k) clearance from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the company’s Servo-air® mechanical ventilator, which is part of the Servo family that supports intensive care ventilation ever since the first model was introduced in 1971. "We are happy to be able to help clinicians in their endeavor to save lives by 1Read more

Q: Starting from the patient admission to the hospital, what is your rule for ventilation? Do you start from HFNC, CPAP, NIV or go directly to intubation and invasive ventilation when the conventional oxygen therapy fails? A: The use of HFNC as well as NIV is very popular among our patients. At the initial stage we didn’t have enough d1Read more

At this moment, over 100,000 people has been diagnosed with COVID-19. The number of confirmed cases outside the Chinese mainland has already reached over 25,000. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Italy and Iran have reported thousands of COVID-19 cases. AS the World Health Organization warned that "the window of opportunity is narrowing" to contai1Read more

A recent study assessed the ability of early noninvasive ventilation (NIV) intervention to decrease the need for invasive ventilation in patients with mild forms of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This method has already proved successful for acute respiratory failure patients but has not been tested in ARDS. Use of NIV in ARDS pat1Read more
