Continuous positive airway pressure and noninvasive ventilation in prehospital treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure: a systematic review of controlled studies

Abstract: Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and noninvasive ventilation (NIV) are frequently used inhospital for treating respiratory failure, especially in treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema and exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Early initiation of treatment is important for success and introduction already in the prehospital setting may be beneficial. Our goal was to assess the evidence for an effect of prehospital CPAP or NIV as a supplement to standard medical treatment alon… Show more

“…NIV support delivered by either CPAP and pressure support ventilation have shown the same results also in terms of efficacy in patients with APE, rapidly improving patients' symptoms and gas exchange, and reducing the need of invasive mechanical ventilation compared with standard medical therapy alone [35][36][37]. The two ventilation modalities have similar benefits also in the subgroup of patients affected by APE associated with hypercapnia [38].…”

“…145 For this reason CPAP is often the first treatment choice in the ED or in a prehospital setting because is considered cheaper and easier than NPPV. 146 Tables 1 and 2 summarize the possibility of using NIV in different clinical settings.…”
