Abstract
Rationale: The role of inspiratory effort still has to be determined as a potential predictor of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) failure in acute hypoxic de novo respiratory failure. Objectives: To explore the hypothesis that inspiratory effort might be a major determinant of NIV failure in these patients. Methods: Thirty consecutive patients with acute hypoxic de novo respiratory failure admitted to a single center and candidates for a 24-hour NIV trial were enrolled. Clinical features, tidal change in esophageal pressure (Delta Pes), tidal change in dynamic transpulmonary pressure (Delta PL), expiratory VT, and respiratory rate were recorded on admission and 2-4 to 12-24 hours after NIV start and were tested for correlation with outcomes. Measurements and Main Results: Delta Pes and Delta Pes/Delta PL ratio were significantly lower 2 hours after NIV start in patients who successfully completed the NIV trial (n = 18) compared with those who needed endotracheal intubation (n = 12) (median [interquartile range], 11 [8-15] cm H2O vs. 31.5 [30-36] cm H2O; P < 0.0001), whereas other variables differed later. Delta Pes was not related to other predictors of NIV failure at baseline. NIV-induced reduction in Delta Pes of 10 cm H2O or more after 2 hours of treatment was strongly associated with avoidance of intubation and represented the most accurate predictor of treatment success (odds ratio, 15; 95% confidence interval, 2.8-110; P = 0.001 and area under the curve, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.91-1; P < 0.0001). Conclusions: The magnitude of inspiratory effort relief as assessed by Delta Pes variation within the first 2 hours of NIV was an early and accurate predictor of NIV outcome at 24 hours.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
