NONINVASIVE VENTILATION Negative Pressure Ventilation Definition
The application of positive pressure via the upper respiratory tract for the purpose of augmenting alveolar ventilation
Goals of NPPV
Acute Care Setting:
Avoid intubation
Relieve symptoms of dyspnea
Enhance gas exchange
Improve patient-ventilator synchrony
Maximize patient comfort
Decrease length of stay
Indications for NPPV:
Acute Care
COPD
Hypercapnic respiratory failure (during exacerbation)
Early intervention
Trend the PaCO2 & pH
Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Historically – CPAP
NPPV with IPAP / EPAP shown to be beneficial
Indications for NPPV:
Acute Care
Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
P/F ratio < 200
Increase PAO2 to increase PaO2 (increasing FIO2 à NRB à CPAP)
Positive pressure at end exhalation allows for continuous diffusion of O2
Other Indications
DNR situations
Weaning from mechanical ventilation
Avoid re-intubation
Indications for NPPV: Chronic Care
Restrictive Thoracic Disease
NPPV rests the respiratory muscles
Decreases PaCO2
Improves lung compliance
Long Term Care of COPD
Used nocturnally improves sleep quality
Relieves nocturnal hypoventilation
Improves daytime gas exchange
Nocturnal Hypoventilation
Central sleep apnea, OSA
Obesity hypoventilation (Pickwickian)
Patient Selection:
Acute Care Establish the need for ventilatory assistance
2 or more signs & symptoms present
-use of accessory muscles
-paradoxical breathing
-RR > 25
-dsypnea
-PaCO2 > 45mmhg & pH < 7.35
-P/F ratio < 200
Patients are EXCLUDED if any of the following are present:
apnea
-hemodynamic or cardiac instability
-uncooperative behavior
-facial burns, facial trauma
-high risk of aspiration
-copious secretions
-anatomic abnormalities that
interfere with gas delivery
Chronic Care Nocturnal hypoventilation due to disorders other than restrictive lung disease and COPD
-sleep apnea
Chronic hypoventilation (COPD) with poor quality sleep
-PaCO2 > 55 or
-PaCO2 50 -54
-SpO2 < 89% after 2 minutes of at least 28%
-recurrent hospitalization (2 or
more visits in 12mths)
Chronic Care
Exclusion Criteria
-unsupportive family
-lack of financial resources
-ventilator assistance during the
day
-copious secretions
-uncooperative behavior
-risk of aspiration
Patient Interfaces
Masks
-nasal mask
-full face mask
-selection based on patient
comfort & fit
Sizing
-mask must seal
Nasal Prongs/Nasal Pillows
-soft cushions that fit into nares
Mouthpieces
Head gear & Chin straps
Ventilators: Positive Pressure Generators Noninvasive Ventilators
-electrically powered
-blower driven
-microprocessor controlled
-single circuit design
-flow & pressure measurements are
used by microprocessor to control
gas delivery to patient
-alarms for disconnect, loss of power
and battery failure
-O2 is bled into circuit (FIO2 will vary)
Noninvasive Modes
CPAP
-BiPAP
IPAP & EPAP
-spontaneous patient triggered
inspiration
-pressure limited inspiration
-time cycled & timed triggered
(bi-level ventilators)
Generators Critical Care Ventilators
pneumatically powered
-microprocessor controlled
-dual limb circuit
-internal blenders allow precise FIO2
-monitors & alarms
-pressure & volume modes that can
be combined with PEEP
Home Care / Portable Ventilators
electrically powered
-microprocessor controlled
-single limb
-used for patients who need
continued ventilatory support
or high ventilatory pressures
Humidification
heated humidity may be required
-added feature
-relieves nasal discomfort
-patient complaints:
nasal drainage
dryness
sneezing
Set up equipment
Set up equipment in an appropriate location based on the severity of the patient’s condition
Select the type of ventilation and appropriate interface
Patient should be seated at a 30o angle for sizing
Connect the ventilator to interface
Turn on the ventilator
Set initial settings
Initiation of Noninvasive Ventilator (NPPV):
-CPAP: 5 – 12 cmH20
-BiPAP: S/T mode with IPAP of 8 – 12
cmH20, EPAP of 3 – 5 cmH20, rate of 8
Critical Care Ventilator:
-PSV: 5 – 8 cmH20, PEEP 0 – 5 cmH20
Flow triggering 2 – 5 lpm
-Assist control mode with a VT of
10ml/kg, flow of 60 lpm, rate of 10,
PEEP of 0 – 5 cmH20, flow triggering
2 – 5 lpm
Initiation of NPPV
Place headgear and mask on patient
-homecare: teach patient how to apply
-hospital: the therapist will take
responsibility for setup
Adjust FIO2 or bleed-in O2 to keep SpO2 > 90%
Once patient adjusts to initial settings increase pressure or VT to
prescribed settings
Check for air leaks; adjust straps
Follow-up assessment
NPPV Adjustments
42 NPPV Adjustments
Settings Adjustments Results
Monitoring during NPPV Leaks in patient interface
Accessory muscle use
Ventilator synchronization
Patient comfort
Improvement in vital signs
Improvement in gas exchange
Improvement in RR, HR, gas exchange within 30 min – 2 hrs
Worsening condition after 30 min indicates a need for intubation
Leaks in patient interface
Accessory muscle use

Patient comfort
Improvement in vital signs
Improvement in gas exchange
Improvement in RR, HR, gas exchange within 30 min – 2 hrs
Worsening condition after 30 min indicates a need for intubation
Weaning from NPPVAs
from NPPVAs the disease process or acute situation resolves settings are lowered and amount of time on
NPPV is decreased
Decrease in IPAP
Decrease in EPAP
Maintain gas exchange
Monitor patient
