Noninvasive Ventilation in Severe Acute Asthma

Abstract: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in severe acute asthma is controversial but may benefit this population by preventing intubation. We report on a 35-year-old male asthma patient who presented to our emergency department via emergency medical services. The patient was responsive, diaphoretic, and breathing at 35 breaths/min on 100% oxygen with bag-mask assistance, with S pO 2 88%, heart rate 110 -120 beats/min, blood pressure 220/110 mm Hg, and temperature 35.8°C. NIV at 12/5 cm H 2 O and F IO 2 0.40 was applied, … Show more

“…He received NIPPV supported by benzodiazepine in small doses to aid in his anxiety about the NIPPV mask. He cleared his PaCO 2 from 126 mmHg at presentation to 63 mmHg after 90 min and was able to be removed from NIPPV after 4 h [29]. This case demonstrates that judicious use of sedatives can facilitate NIPPV and mediate the panic associated with the face mask in some patients.…”

“…• Síntomas y signos de dificultad respiratoria aguda (disnea moderada o grave, frecuencia respiratoria incrementada para la edad, uso de músculos accesorios de la respiración y respiración paradójica). Cociente saturación transcutánea de oxígeno (SatO2)/FiO2 (S/F) (3,4) < 320 (este último criterio debe aplicarse cuando la SatO2 es menor o igual al 97% ya que en caso de ser superior pierde correlación con el P/F). • Indicación a juicio clínico del evaluador.…”

“…Monitoring of the waveform is currently used to assess response to bronchodilators. (20,22) Prehospital indications for CPAP strongly align with those of capnography and include CHF, COPD, asthma, acute bronchitis, pneumonia, and near-drownings with signs of pulmonary edema. (23,24) Prehospital CPAP has been shown to improve patient outcomes by reducing the need for intubation (and thus decreasing the likelihood of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia),(25) improving vital signs, and reducing myocardial damage—its use is also associated with reduced mortality.…”
