It’s a challenge to keep up with the latest innovations in hospital respiratory care: high-flow oxygen therapy (HFT), noninvasive ventilation (NIV), invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). While often complementary, these techniques aren’t always interchangeable. Understanding which technique is appropriate and when, can help improve patient care and assist clinical teams for success.
High flow therapy (HFT) delivers:
Appropriate flow demand
Wide range of FiO2
Small PEEP effect
CO2 washout
Heated humidification
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) support delivers:
Appropriate noninvasive ventilatory support
Adjustable IPAP (Pressure Support) levels
Adjustable EPAP (PEEP) levels
Back-up rate
Wide range of FiO2
Patient monitored parameters and alarms
The same physiological effect as invasive mechanical ventilation
Determine the optimal respiratory technique for optimal care
Managing patients in respiratory failure - from the very mild to the very severe – presents a range of options to consider. Clinicians can utilize them based upon the need for oxygenation support alone, or the need for both oxygenation support and ventilation support. HFT provides a high level of oxygenation support, but only limited and somewhat variable ventilation support. NIV provides both oxygenation support and ventilation support. Other factors such as the patient interface and device performance can be considerations in determining when to use a particular modality, once oxygenation and ventilatory needs are addressed.

In a recent non-inferiority study,
87%
of patients who were placed on NIV after failing on HFT avoided intubation.3

NIV reduced hospital length of stay by more than 3 days. 4
NIV reduces hospital mortality by 16%. 5
NIV reduces the need for endotracheal intubation by 38%. 5
