Interestingly, the maximal IPAP used in this study was 18.4cmH2O 卤 3.5 and maximal EPAP was 7.2cmH2O 卤 1.1, similar to that used in their COPD group of patients. This is in stark contrast to our local experience where significantly higher pressures are needed in both our COPD and OHS ...
RESULTS: NIV was initiated (IPAP of 3cm and EPAP of 12-14cm of H2O). This lead to gradual fall in PCO2 levels (mean PCO2 levels of 52.4862 with SD of 11.8442, p value < .05) after 48 hours of NIV. A decreased in CO2 levels was accompanied with normalization of pH values.12 out ...

The mean peak Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) used was 18.7 cm H2O and peak Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure (EPAP) was 5.4 cm H2O. Plotting a graph with HCO3 and length of NIV we see that it has a linear relationship (see Abstract P267 figure 1). Length of NIV increases...
. However, as the ward-based, physiotherapy-intensive, multidisciplinary NIV service matures over an 8-year period, we are achieving significantly higher maximum IPAP and maximum EPAP. This is probably (a) in keeping with the increasing severity of AHRF that is being treated in the unit with ...
The mean daily usage did not change and ESS was measured at 3. The patient however noted to have greatly reduced aerophagia and improved sleep quality. In addition pressure requirements were also reduced with 95th centile pressures of IPAP at 16cm H2O/ EPAP = 8cm H2O. The patient was then...
Discharge ventilator settings were IPAP 26±3 cmH2O, EPAP 5±1 cmH2O and back up rate 15±1 bpm in the HMV group. Total sleep time during the first 2 weeks of HMV was significantly shorter than in those patients receiving HOT (?88 min; 95% CI 5 to 172 min, p=0.04). However, ...
Mean pre-procedure pO2 was 10kPa (7.3–12.4), pCO2 5.7kPa (4.2–7.5) and HCO3 27.6mmol/L (23.8–31). 52% were previously on NIV. Mean pre-procedure NIV settings were IPAP 18cmH20, EPAP 3cmH20. Mean post procedure settings were 19 and 3cmH20 respectively. 11% needed supplemental ...
HMV settings Ipap 26 ± 3 cm H2O, Epap 5 ± 1 cm H2O, back up rate 15 ± 1 bpm. Conclusion Although these data must be interpreted with caution, as the number of patients currently enrolled in this trial is small, there was no difference between the HOT and HMV groups. These data ...
