Which of the following are indications for mechanical ventilation?

Common indications for mechanical ventilation include the following: Bradypnea or apnea with respiratory arrest. Acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Tachypnea (respiratory rate >30 breaths per minute)

What are the indications for Nippv?

At present, there are 3 widely accepted indications for NIPPV; for ARF associated with COPD exacerbations (14, 15) or to facilitate weaning from IMV in such patients (15, 16); cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and immunocompromised states.

What are BiPap indications?

For example, you might need BiPap if you have any of the following: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) Obstructive sleep apnea. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome.

What is the indication of NIV?

NIV is particularly indicated in: COPD with a respiratory acidosis pH 7.25–7.35 (H+ 45–56 nmol/l) Hypercapnic respiratory failure secondary to chest wall deformity (scoliosis, thoracoplasty) or neuromuscular diseases. Cardiogenic pulmonary oedema unresponsive to CPAP.

What are the clinical indications for noninvasive positive pressure ventilation?

NIV is indicated in adults as follows:

  • Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with exacerbation.
  • Bilateral pneumonia.
  • Acute congestive heart failure with pulmonary edema.
  • Neuromuscular disorders.
  • Acute lung injury.

What is the difference between NIV and ventilator?

In invasive ventilation, air is delivered via a tube that is inserted into the windpipe through the mouth or sometimes the nose. In NIV, air is delivered through a sealed mask that can be placed over the mouth, nose or the whole face.

How does a mechanical ventilator works?

Mechanical ventilation works by applying a positive pressure breath and is dependent on the compliance and resistance of the airway system, which is affected by how much pressure must be generated by the ventilator to provide a given tidal volume (TV). The TV is the volume of air entering the lung during inhalation.
