Abstract:Rationale: Little is known about the effectiveness of noninvasive ventilation for patients hospitalized with asthma exacerbation.Objectives: To assess clinical outcomes of noninvasive (NIV) and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and examine predictors for NIV use in patients hospitalized with asthma.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study at 97 U.S. hospitals using an electronic medical record database. We developed a hierarchical regression model to identify factors associated with the choice of ini… Show more
“…21,22 However, an American database study had similar LOS for their NIV patients of 4.1 days. 15 Our blood gas data was consistent with severe asthma and the median pH is lower than other studies. 21,26 Previous studies have also shown that NIV is effective in decreasing arterial carbon dioxide in severe asthma and can be as effective as IMV.…”

“…The Cochrane review in 2012 highlighted this paucity of evidence and advised there was no basis for a change in practice based on the current research . Despite this, there is increasing clinical use and this study seeks to add to the reported experience of using NIV as part of the treatment for severe asthma . This paper reports on all asthma admissions admitted to the Critical Care Complex (CCC) at Middlemore Hospital (MMH) between 2000 and 2015 with a focus on the use of NIV.…”
The use of NIV appears to be safe and effective in patients with severe asthma, including selected patients with an altered level of consciousness. NIV was well tolerated with a low need for subsequent intubation.

“…In a recent retrospective cohort study [59] conducted in 97 US hospitals during a 4-year period, the use of NIV in patients with acute asthma was 4% (556 out of 13 930) and the use of invasive ventilation was 5% (668 out of 13 930). Failure rate (defined as intubation) of NIV was 4.7% (26 patients).…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
