Management of critical illness with non-invasive ventilation by an Australian HEMS

Abstract: BackgroundNon-invasive ventilation (NIV) therapy is widely used for the management of acute respiratory failure. The objective of this study was to investigate the current use of NIV during interhospital retrievals in an Australian physician-led aeromedical service.MethodsWe reviewed patients receiving NIV during interhospital retrieval at the Greater Sydney Area Helicopter Medical Services (GSA-HEMS) over a 14-month period. The main objectives were to describe the number of retrievals using NIV, the need for … Show more

“…Notably in prior studies transport times tended to be shorter, 15,16 here we demonstrate that transfer can be conducted without major complications with transit times exceeding 4 h. This may ultimately lead to overall fewer intubations and improved patient outcomes, though this has not yet been shown in the aeromedical retrieval setting.…”

“…In one other study, the scene time median was 50 min; however, it is not clear how this compares to our data as their conduct of CPAP/ NIV use seems to be different and included those patients who were intubated at the scene. 16 Garrote et al did not report this metric. 15 Therefore at present no true comparison with other studies can be made.…”

“…Non-invasive respiratory support (NRS) is becoming increasingly utilized across a range of settings, [1][2][3][4][5] including prehospital care, emergency departments, and during interfacility transport of critically unwell children. [6][7][8][9] Limited evidence exists on the outcomes for interfacility transport of children receiving non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen.…”
