Home Mechanical Ventilation through Mask: Monitoring Leakage and Nocturnal Oxygenation at Home

Abstract: Background: Leakage is common in patients receiving home mechanical ventilation (HMV) via a face mask. Although pressure ventilators have partial compensatory capacity, excessive leakage can compromise the effectiveness of treatment. Home ventilators are equipped with built-in software which provides information on leakage. However, the values of leakage and their effects in routine clinical practice are currently little known. Objective: To measure leakage in stable patients on nocturnal HMV and its impact on… Show more

“…It is well established that the occurrence of oxygen desaturations is sensitive to detect breathing abnormalities in NIV users. Moreover, nocturnal oxyhemoglobin desaturation is significantly associated with adverse neurocognitive and cardiovascular consequences [31] and is a main determinant of prognosis for patients on NIV [20] . In this regard, our study showed very good correlation between the ODI provided by PG and the EI obtained by manual analysis of BIS data, illustrating that a flow reduction of ≥ 50% obtained by the device accurately reflected significant desaturation dips.…”

“…Another clinical study demonstrated no significant differences in the amount of total leaks (i.e., intentional plus unintentional leaks) between patients with different diagnoses of chronic respiratory failure. In that study, the total leaks ranged from 28.2 to 67.7 L/min [39].…”

“…5,[10][11][12] It is important to note that, even if our data are not significant and from one center only, we have a considerable sample of patients on NIV only, ventilation. 13,14 As stated before, BIS differences in assessing and calculating air leaks forced us to consider the two software separately for this analysis. We found that patients aged from 0 to 6 years old, along with children that started ventilation earlier (from 0 to 6 years old), using DirectView ventilators have significantly lower air leaks than older patients.…”
