A Multicentered Study on Efficiency of Noninvasive Ventilation Procedures

Summary

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is an alternative form of ventilatory support in critical care encompassing different modes of ventilation such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) and high flow nasal cannula ventilation. Although numerous studies on adults exit in literature, the aspects of this ventilatory support is limited in pediatric age groups. Early recognition of respiratory failure and initiation of NIV in a pediatric patient would positively affect prognosis by avoiding certain complications of endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation and adds certain advantages. Decreasing re-intubation rates for the ones who are extubated but necessitating further oxygen support is another advantage of NIV. Although numerous studies on adults exit in literature, the aspects of this ventilatory support is limited in pediatric age groups. Besides, success as well as failure and complication rates in pediatric age groups vary extensively. This multi-centered, prospective cohort study is planned to observe the epidemiologic perspectives of study group within underlying problems, success rates between different age groups, complication and re-intubation rates and finally its' effect on prognosis and long term survival in a year period. Hence we believe results of this study would allow us to improve our knowledge on using this technique, applying different modes and parameters appropriately and design criteria to guide clinician in deciding which group of patients would benefit from NIV techniques.
