Book Noninvasive Ventilation Outside Intensive Care Unit

Download or read book Noninvasive Ventilation Outside Intensive Care Unit written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-28 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to highlight the importance of the development of health conditions and demand for the application of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) outside the intensive care units (ICUs); the diversification of possible scenarios outside the ICUs; the need to establish references that consolidate this phenomenon and the healthcare organizations models. In the last decades the extension of the use of NIMV outside of the ICUs has led to the generation of protocols and to the creation of new in-hospital care models. In this field, the main determining factors are a better knowledge of technique, technological advancement, better monitoring capacity, the creation of multidisciplinary teams adequately trained in their application, and social and health events that have overloaded ICUs. All these elements have promoted the creation of these NIMV units outside ICUs. This new reality entails the need for clarification of concepts, recommendations, and analysis of how to plan NIMV. Although the literature that clearly determine the indications and aids on the use of NIMV is considerable, this volume, pointing out the diversity of different healthcare models to define how to organize NIMV outside the ICUs, shed a light and bring a clear benefit to the scientific community involved. The book is structured in eleven main sections analyzing the epidemiology and trends for NIMV healthcare models and determining factors for these models outside ICUs. The originality of the work, its clear clinical-practical impact and the multidisciplinary approach given by all healthcare professionals involved (intensivists, pneumologists, internal medicine and emergency medicine specialists, geriatricians, chest respiratory therapists, etc.) is very relevant for the thoroughness of the book.

Book Principles and Practice of Non Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Monitoring

Download or read book Principles and Practice of Non Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Monitoring written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-invasive ventilation is the delivery of oxygen via a face mask and is used in the treatment of respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiogenic pulmonary oedema, and other respiratory conditions. Because patients rely upon ventilation systems to breathe, it is essential to monitor patients' respiratory function on an ongoing basis. However, this monitoring can prove to be difficult, particularly when patients receive ventilation treatment outside of the hospital and in their homes. As such, this book provides extensive detail concerning the monitoring of non-invasive mechanical ventilation systems in a variety of contexts.

Book Non invasive Ventilation

Download or read book Non invasive Ventilation written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has shown, in the last two decades, to be an essential ventilatory management modality for treatment of patients with diverse etiologies of acute and chronic respiratory insufficiency, with significant favorable outcomes in terms of improvement in gas exchange, respiratory muscle fatigue, and dyspnea. NIV is an alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation, with significant improvement in short and long term prognosis. However, despite the abundance of literature supporting the benefits of NIV, there is controversy in regards to the timing of initiation and termination of NIV in the disease process, leading to unsettled issues and constant analysis for both researchers and physicians in clinical practice. There is scarce literature that describes thorough predictors of success or failure of NIV. There is need to develop tools or models to predict response to NIV, optimize those responses, increase tolerance to NIV technology (mechanical ventilator, interface, or ventilatory mode) that can be translated to increase success rate of NIV. The book Non-Invasive Ventilation: A Practical Handbook for Understanding the Causes of Treatment Success and Failure is the first text published with well-defined objectives that analyze the success and failure response of non-invasive mechanical ventilation. The table of contents is structured in an order to meet the defined objectives based upon respiratory physiology: Breathing patterns Respiratory muscular fatigue (inspiratory / expiratory muscle) Lung mechanics (compliance and airway resistance) Gas exchange (hypercapnic/hypoxemic), and neurologic determinants) Sections of this book will address different aspects of NIV ranging from perspective pathophysiological benchmarks and clinical studies, to diagnosis and monitoring elements of basic lung patient ventilator interaction, including: Monitoring lung mechanics (pressure curves, volume (tidal and minute) (lower and high) and leakages (concept / monitoring)), in a broad and profound way Illustrating potential determinants and scenarios in non-invasive-ventilation The aim is to describe a summary of global and practical recommendations of the utility of NIV that will affect the readers capability in treating respiratory comorbidities. These include: Chronic respiratory diseases like obstructive sleep apnea, Obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and Cardiac chronic insufficiency.

Book Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation in High Risk Infections  Mass Casualty and Pandemics

Download or read book Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation in High Risk Infections Mass Casualty and Pandemics written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of this book describes the clinical indications of NIV in patients hospitalized with high-risk infections as well as in the prehospital management of mass casualty incidents, including chemical or biological disasters and pandemics. In recent decades, we have learned the impact that different pandemics and mass casualty disasters can outcome in terms of health resource use, health costs and human lives. The development of respiratory failure in these patients, either infectious or non-infectious causes, has led to develop employment plans related both to invasive or noninvasive mechanical ventilation during acute respiratory failure. In this book authors evaluate a rational basis for indications, specific noninvasive mechanical ventilation indications in hospitalized patients (tuberculosis, bacterial, virus, etc.) and prehospital applications (mass casualty: chemical, biological disaster), equipment (ventilators, interfaces) and plan organization for health systems: how and when apply NIV. A critical review of already published studies is described as well as implications and how will be the future according to international expert opinions. Therefore, this updated edition represents a useful scientific reference point according to what it has been experienced in the last pandemics, with respect to the growing role that NIV has and must have in the world.

Book Noninvasive Ventilation As An Alternative In The Critically Ill Pediatric Patient

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE ROLE OF NONINVASIVE VENTILATION IN THE CRITICALLY ILL PEDIATRIC PATIENTM.Prapa 1, M.Kazantzi 2, Ch. Tsirogianni 1, E.Christakou 2, Ch. Barbaresou 2, P.Kalampalikis 21, Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care,2 Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Aghia Sofia Childrensu2019 Hospital, Athens, GreeceBACKGROUND: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is an alternative to the treatment of Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) in children, avoiding complications from intubation and sedation. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of NIV and to identify factors associated with its failure.MATERIALS: This is a retrospective study concerning patients hospitalized in a single tertiary Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) during a period of 10 months and to whom NIV was applied. The persistence of ARF or the occurrence of hemodynamic instability were defined as a failure criterion. Blood gases were analyzed before and after the first two hours of the NIV application.RESULTS: During the study period, ARF was the cause of admission in 68 patients of a total of 315(21.6%).NIV was applied to 24 of them (35.3%).The patientsu2019 characteristics before and after the NIV application, depending on their outcome (success or failure) are shown in the Table A. Patients treated with NIV as a method of weaning had better outcome, compared to those with hypercapnic respiratory failure. Blood gases within the first two hours of NIV application correlate well with outcome, as patients who eventually needed endotracheal intubation had significantly higher PCO2 values and lower PaO2 / FiO2, SaO2 and pH values.CONCLUSION: NIV is a minimally invasive technique for treating ARF in children. It can also be used in the process of weaning from mechanical ventilation in certain groups of patients. Blood gases obtained after NIV initiation could be used as a predictor marker of successful outcome.
