What does this mean?
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

    High flow therapy (HFT) delivers:

    • Appropriate flow demand
    • Wide range of FiO2
    • Small PEEP effect
    • CO2 washout
    • Heated humidification
    Noninvasive ventilation support

    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.

    Timely transition of therapies is important - whether escalation or de-escalation of therapy - or providing HFT between NIV sessions. Although the ability to escalate therapy is important, preventing the delay of intubation in patients who need invasive mechanical ventilation requires understanding and recognition of predictors of failure.

    • 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
