Acute respiratory distress syndrome: Predictors of noninvasive ventilation failure and intensive care unit mortality in clinical practice

Noninvasive ventilation in cancer children with acute respiratory failure

“…Previous studies were associated with sustained improvement of reduction in PICU length of stay in patients applied NIV [2,10,[17][18][19]. Although the meaningful relationship was not established in our study, the mean duration of hospitalization was much longer in NIV failure group than that of success group in PICU.…”

“…Depuydt et al reported that a majority of patients required immediate endotracheal intubation as well as vasopressor therapy because of circulatory shock [9]. In one study, when patients with circulatory shock arrived in an advanced stage of respiratory failure, a reduced potential benefit of NIV was reported [19]. Although we believed that NIV failure could be seen in cancer patients who had severe hemodynamic status, the similar vital data and severity scores of all patients could be incapable for presenting of NIV success in our small population.…”

Infrastructure and Organization of Adult Intensive Care Units in Resource-Limited Settings

“…The availability of vital signs monitors, mechanical ventilators, renal replacement devices, and point-of-care tools in ICUs varies substantially between resourcelimited regions [196][197][198][199][200][201][202][203][204]. Several studies suggest that hospitals in middle-income countries and metropolitan areas of low-income countries have more technical equipment available than healthcare facilities in low-income countries and rural areas [200][201][202][203][204].…”

2016 Year in Review: Noninvasive Ventilation

“…Using NIV in patients with ARDS has been controversial and has been associated with high failure rates. 8 A prospective observational cohort study by Chawla et al 9 included all subjects diagnosed with ARDS according to the Berlin definition. 10 The aim of the study was to determine factors associated with NIV failure in this population so that NIV may be used appropriately and not delay intubation.…”
