Esperienza dell’équipe Considerazioni anatomiche CRITERI PER LA SCELTA DELLA MASCHERA Modalità di ventilazione Compliance e sensorio del paziente (from BTS Guideline Thorax 2002;57:192-211) NON-INVASIVE MV • NIV in the “real-world” • Setting the ventilator • Choice of interfaces • Humidification and drug delivery In the present pilot study, the use heated humidification and heat and moisture exchanger showed similar tolerance and side-effects, but a higher number of patients decided to continue long-term noninvasive mechanical ventilation with heated humidification. Crit Care Med 2002; 30:2515–2519 To conclude, when using noninvasive positive pressure ventilation with two-level respirators, oxygen should be added close to the exhaust port (ventilator side) of the circuit. If inspiratory airway pressure levels are >12 cmH2O, oxygen flows should be at least 4 L*min-1 Respir Care 2004;49(3):270–275. CONCLUSIONS Delivered oxygen concentration during BiPAP is a complex interaction between the leak port type, the site of oxygen injection, the ventilator settings, and the oxygen flow. Because of this, it is important to continuously measure arterial oxygen saturation via pulse oximetry with patients in acute respiratory failure who are receiving noninvasive ventilation from a bi-level ventilator.
