PPT on NIV in COPD


Slide Content

NIV in COPD Dr Subhajit Ghosh

Definition Non ‐ invasive ventilation (NIV) refers to the delivery of mechanical ventilation to the lungs using techniques that do not require an invasive artificial airway (ETT, TT)

Types of NIV Negative pressure NIV Main means of NIV during the 1st half of the 20th century Extensively used during polio epidemics Tank ventilator “iron lung” Cuirass, Jacket ventilator, Hayek oscillator Positive pressure NIV Positive pressure delivered through mask case CPAP & BiPAP

Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV) Negative pressure ventilators apply a negative pressure intermittently around the patient’s body or chest wall The patient’s head (upper airway) is exposed to room air Negative pressure is applied intermittently to the thoracic area resulting in a pressure drop around the thorax This negative pressure is transmitted to the pleural space and alveoli creating a pressure gradient between the inside of the lungs and the mouth

Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV)

NIV ‐ Advantages Non invasiveness Flexibility in initiating and removing mechanical ventilation Allows intermittent application Improves patient comfort Reduces the need for sedation Oral patency Preserves speech, swallowing and expectoration , reduces the need for nagastric tubes

Ad v a n t a g e s Avoid the resistive work imposed by the endotracheal tube Avoids the complications of endotracheal intubation Early (local trauma, aspiration) Late (injury to hypopharynx, larynx, and trachea, nosocomial infections) Reduces infectious complications ‐ pneumonia, sinusitis, sepsis Less cost

Mechanism of action Reduction in inspiratory muscle work and avoidance of respiratory muscle fatigue Tidal volume is increased CPAP counterbalances the inspiratory threshold work related to intrinsic PEEP. NIV improves respiratory system compliance by reversing microatelectasis of the lung Enhanced cardiovascular function – Afterload reduction d/t increased intrathoracic pressure

Pathophysiology of acute hypercapnia

Pathophysiology of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure

Disad v a n t a g e s System Slower correction of gas exchange abnormalities Increased initial time commitment Gastric distension (occurs in <2% patients) Mask Air leakage Transient hypoxemia from accidental removal Eye irritation Facial skin necrosis –most common complication Lack of airway access and protection Suctioning of secretions Aspiration

Levels of evidence A Multiple RCTs Recommended B Atleast one RCT Weaker evidence C Case series/reports Can be tried but with close monitoring

Indications Airway obstruction COPD (Evidence A) Facilitation of weaning in COPD (Evidence A) Asthma (B) Extubation failure in COPD (B) Cystic Fibrosis (C) OSA/obesity hypoventilation (C) Upper airway obstruction (C)

NIV & stable COPD NIV increasingly used in stable very severe COPD NIV+O 2 therapy – in selected patients with pronounced daytime hypercapnia Clear benefits in both survival & risk of hospital admission in patients with both COPD & OSA Global initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease(GOLD) update 2013

Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2004;(3):CD004104.

Concludes Data from good quality RCTs show benefit of NIV as 1 st line intervention in addition to usual medical care to ARF 2° to an acute exacerbation of COPD in all suitable patients Use early in the course of respiratory failure and before severe ensues, as a means of reducing the likelihood of endotracheal intubation , treatment failure and mortality

NIV in COPD exacerbation Multiple RCTs support a success rate of 80‐ 85% Has been shown to improve respiratory acidosis ( pH & pCO 2 ) Respiratory rate, WOB, severity of breathlessness, complications like VAP, length of hospital stay (Evidence A) Mortality & intubation rates are reduced (Evidence A) GOLD update 2013

NIV in COPD exacerbation Indications for NIV – atleast one of the following Respiratory acidosis (pH<7.35 &/or PaCO 2 ) Severe dyspnea with clinical signs s/o respiratory muscle fatigue, increased WOB or both Use of respiratory accessory muscles Paradoxical motion of abdomen Intercostal retraction GOLD update 2013

NIV in AECOPD VBG vs. ABG T II Respiratory failure AECOPD Use of Bipap Lots of anecdotes Please ask questions!

ABG vs. VBG pH a-v difference = 0.04 VBG pH of 7.30, ‘true’ pH could be 7.26 to 7.34 pCO 2 a-v difference = 8.02 pvCO2 52, paCO 2 could be between 44 to 60

Can VBG replace ABG as part of initial assessment in AECOPD? Paired ABG-VBG samples in 234 patients with AECOPD in UK tertiary hospital Good agreement: pH H C O 3 • • • If SpO 2 > 80% then agreement OK with SaO 2 ABG sampling more painful and more attempts (!)

Flow chart

VBG vs. ABG VBG is an excellent screening tool – ~2/3rds of AECOPD in this population – nil further As soon as someone is sick (low pH) – they need a ABG

Respiratory failure Type 1 = failure of oxygen transfer Measurable gap between alveolar and capillary P O 2 Due to shunt through non-ventilated alveoli Type 2 = failure of ventilation i.e. not enough air reaching alveoli Not enough O 2 in Not enough CO 2 out

NIV B IPAP vs CPAP CPAP: inspiratory pressure = expiratory pressure NIV: Inspiratory pressure > expiratory pressure CPAP INDICATIONS: Acute pulmonary oedema Acute hypoxia pending intubation (can give FiO 2 =1) Acute hypoxia where intubation not indicated

NIV - Bipap Treatment of choice for persistent hypercapnic respiratory failure and acidosis (using ABG) – Not optimised with conventional medical therapy – i.e. CONTROLLED OXYGEN THERAPY NEBS ORAL STERODS ANTIBIOTICS (& the cause)

PaCO 2 is inversely proportional to minute volume (V E ) V E = TV x RR NIV treats mechanical respiratory failure, NOT the underlying cause NIV - Bipap

Rationale of NIV Increase in minute volume Reduction of work of breathing For AECOPD: – Prevents intubation [Nava, 2006; Kerran 2003, Plant 2000] – Reduces mortality [Nava, 2006; Kerran 2003, Plant 2000]

Indications Acute type 2 respiratory failure due to COPD Mild (7.31-7.35) / Moderate (7.25-7.3) / Severe (< 7.25) pH > 7.35 – NIV unhelpful [Kerran 2005]

Contra-indications: Cardiac or respiratory arrest Additional organ failure Inability to protect airway / clear secretions Bulbar weakness Misc: Facial surgery, injury Upper airway obstruction Undrained pneumothorax

Important riders No contra-indication absolute if NIV is ceiling measure For non-COPD T II RF critical care / resp / pulm phys team should be involved early

Persistently elevated CO 2 : Potential Causes Check chest expansion / air entry Maintenance of airway sputum retention ? Posture / conscious level Mask leak Check with hand around mask Consider full face mask Re-breathing Check at least 4cm EPAP Expiratory port Patient / ventilator synchronisation

Persistently elevated CO 2 : Potential Causes Check chest expansion / air entry Maintenance of airway sputum retention ? Posture / conscious level Mask leak Check with hand around mask Consider full face mask Re-breathing Check at least 4cm EPAP Expiratory port Patient / ventilator synchronisation Check pat i e nt C h e c k kit

Persistently elevated CO 2 : Ventilator adjustments ↑ IPAP Obese Poor chest wall or lung compliance ↓ EPAP to 4cm (unless suspect UA closure) If patient exhausted or ↓ RR consider mandatory (timed) mode, but.....

O 2 remains low despite ↓CO 2 ↑ FiO 2 (but same rules apply…) ↑ EPAP Re-consider the diagnosis

Sudden deterioration on NIV Pneumothorax PE Arrhythmias / MI Others…

Escalation of therapy Must be documented in every case ? Suitable for MV ? Resuscitation status If yes discuss with ITU on commencement of therapy if pH < 7.25 or otherwise indicated

Successful cases Responders: ventilated as much as possible in the first 24 hours Breaks should be given for food, physio, drugs Greater need for ventilation overnight

NIV failure Occurs in around 20% Various causes: Physiological deterioration / failure to improve Intolerance / agitation Patient’s wish to withdraw If no improvement within 1-2 hours, seek advice Admission pH <7.2 & 2 hrs a~er <7.2 – failure predicted (NEJM editorial 2004)

‘Yorkshire NIV’ experience [Plant. Lancet 2000] pH >7.35 pH <7.35->7.3 pH <7.3 pH <7.2 NIV not indicated 80% will get better with conventional Rx NNT avoid ETT = 10 50% will deteriorate without NIV NIV improves survival 50% deteriorate Better hospital outcome & 1 year survival

‘Yorkshire NIV’ experience [Plant. Lancet 2000] pH >7.35 pH <7.35->7.3 - - NIV not indicated 80% will get better x with conventional R - NNT avoid ETT = 10 pH <7.3 - 50% will deteriorate without NIV - NIV improves survival pH <7.2 50% deteriorate Better hospital outcome & 1 year survival NIV advised NIV strongly advised

Summary: AECOPD management At risk of T II resp failure? – Screening VBG ABG Find the cause CONTROLLED OXYGEN Give some time for nebs etc. to work (people used to survive before NIV!) We are too pessimistic about MV & COPD [Wildman, 2007]
