Use and Outcomes of Noninvasive Ventilation for Acute Respiratory Failure in Different Age Groups

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The prevalence of chronic disease and do-not-intubate status increases with age. Thus, we aimed to determine characteristics and outcomes associated with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) use for acute respiratory failure (ARF) in different age groups. METHODS: A database comprising prospective data collected on site on all adult patients with ARF requiring ventilatory support from 8 acute care hospitals in Massachusetts was used. RESULTS: From a total of 1,225 ventilator starts, overall NIV utilizatio… Show more

“…SOFA (37-39), APACHE II (39,40), and lactate (41,42) were also confirmed as independent predictors or related factors of tracheal intubation in previous studies. At the same time, elderly and severe patients being more inclined to choose "non-intubation" may be an important reason why age becomes a protective factor (43)…”

“…Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has demonstrated efficacy in the management of HF [41]. Elderly patients appear to benefit from this therapy as well, but patients should be carefully selected because contraindications to NIPPV, including altered mental status and an inability to clear secretions and protect the airway, may be present [42,43].…”
