Palliative noninvasive ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure

Abstract: Over the last two decades, the increasing use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has diminished the need for endotracheal ventilation, thus decreasing the rate of ventilation-induced complications. Thus, NIV has decreased both intubation rates and mortality rates in specific subsets of patients with acute respiratory failure (e.g., patients with hypercapnia, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, immune deficiencies, or post-transplantation acute respiratory failure). NIV is also increasingly used as a palliative strategy… Show more

“…63 It is not known whether palliative NIV increases duration of life or if it extends the dying process. Qualitative observational data are needed to identify the benefits of palliative NIV, such as improvement of family experience, patient's well being, quality of end-of-life care, family satisfaction, and the global clinician's perspective.…”

“…Studies have described intensive care unit (ICU) practices at the end of life [3][4][5][6][7], shed light on treatment-limitation decisions [8], identified specific needs of bereaved relatives, and determined what affects the quality of the dying experience for relatives, physicians and nurses [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…20,21 In our study, a do-not-intubate status imparted a worse prognosis among subjects treated with NIV compared with those without one, undoubtedly related to a higher prevalence of diseases with worse prognoses. However, there was no significant impact of age on outcomes of NIV subjects with a do-notintubate status.…”
