Objective The risk factors of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) combined with failure of respiratory failure were identified by meta-analysis, so as to provide a basis for early clinical prevention and treatment failure and early intervention. Methods PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP and CBM Data were searched to collect studies about risk factors about failure of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in AECOPD and respiratory failure published from January 2000 to January 2021. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, literature data extraction and quality assessment. Meta-analysis was performed on the final literature obtained using RevMan 5.3 software. Results Totally 19 studies involving 3418 patients were recruited. The statistically significant risk factors included Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHEⅡ) score, pre-treatment PCO2, pre-treatment pH, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), respiratory rate (RR) before treatment, body mass index (BMI), age, C-reactive protein (CRP), renal insufficiency, sputum disturbance, aspiration of vomit. Conclusions High APACHE-Ⅱ score, high PCO2 before treatment, low pH value before treatment, low GCS score, high RR before treatment, low BMI, advanced age, low albumin, high CRP, renal insufficiency, sputum disturbance, and vomit aspiration were the risk factors for failure of respiratory failure in patients with COPD treated by NIPPV. Failure of non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in COPD patients with respiratory failure is affected by a variety of risk factors, and early identification and control of risk factors is particularly important to reduce the rate of treatment failure.
Objective To study the clinical feasibility of invasive mechanical ventilation with bilevel positive airway pressure（BiPAP） non-invasive ventilator in the stable patients needing prolonged mechanical ventilation.Methods Eleven patients with respiratory failure admitted in intensive care unit（ICU）of our department，who needed prolonged mechanical ventilation，between Jun 2004 and Nov 2007 were enrolled in the study and followed until death or Jan 2008.The arterial blood gas analysis data，length of stay(LOS)，LOS after changing to BiPAP non-invasive ventilator（Synchrony，Harmony，RESPIRONICS，VPAP III ST-A，RESMED），survival time after discharge(or fulfilled the discharge standards) were reviewed retrospectively.Results The settings of inspiratory pressure，expiratory pressure and respiratory rate of non-invasive ventilation were 21.3 (16-26) cm H2O，4 cm H2O，and 16 min-1，respectively.The LOS (or up to the discharge standard) was (91.5±50.2) days.The LOS (or up to the discharge standard) after changing to BiPAP ventilator was (23.5±12.2) days.The mean survival time after discharge (or up to the discharge standard) was (353.1±296.5) days.Four patients were still alive up to the end of the study.The arterial pH，PaCO2，PaO2，and SaO2 were not significant different before and after changing to BiPAP ventilator.Conclusion The mechanical ventilation with BiPAP non-invasive ventilator via tracheotomy tube is an alternative choice for stable patients needing prolonged mechanical ventilation.
【Abstract】 Objective To analyze the lung pathological features of type A H1N1 influenza and respiratory failure. Methods The data of imaging and aspiration lung biopsy of five patients with type A H1N1 influenza and respiratory filure since October 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Common clinical manifestations of patients with type A H1N1 influenza and respiratory failure were rapid progress of illness after common cold-like symptoms with high fever, dyspnea, severe hypoxemia, large amounts of bloody sputum, wet rales over both lungs, and with other organs involved or even septic shock. Early lung pathological features were inflammatory exudate in alveoli and lung interstitium, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and extensive hemorrhage. Middle and late pathological features were hyperplasia of alveolar epithelial,disconnection of alveolar septa, replaced of alveolar spaces by fibrosis. Conclusions The pathology of patients with type A H1N1 influenza and respiratory failure is similiar with ARDS. Development of treatment strategies targeted to pathological characteristics of ARDS caused by type A H1N1 influenza is of greatsignificance for effective and timely treatment.
Objective To explore the prognostic value of early lactate clearance rate in patients with respiratory failure.Methods 117 patients with respiratory failure and elevated blood lactate, admitted into respiratory intensive care unit( RICU) between January 2010 and December 2011, were retrospectively analyzed. Arterial lactate and arterial blood gas were measured before and 12h, 24h, 48h, and 72h after treatment. Then12h lactate clearance rate was calculated. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ( APACHEⅡ) score was evaluated before and after 12h treatment. The mortality were compared between subgroups with different lactate normalization time( lt;24 h, 24 ～48 h, 48 ～72 h, and gt;72h, respectively) . The clinical data was compared between subgroups with different prognosis ( survival or non-survival ) and between subgroups with different lactate clearance rate( ≥10% as high lactate clearance rate, lt;10% as low lactate clearance rate) . Results The mortality of the patients with lactate normalization time in less 24 hours was significantly lower than that of the patients with lactate normalization time more than 72 hours ( 5. 3% vs. 89. 2% , P lt; 0. 001) . The 12 hour lactate clearance rate of the survival group was significantly higher than that of the non-survival group [ ( 43. 6 ±26. 8) % vs. ( 12. 3 ±39. 1) % , P lt;0. 01] . The mortality of the patients with high lactate clearance rate was significantly lower than that of the patients with lowlactate clearance rate( 25. 8% vs. 71. 4% , P lt;0. 01) . Conclusion Early lactate clearance rate can be used as a marker for prognosis of patients with respiratory failure.
Acute poisoning is characterized by a sudden and rapid onset, most poisons lack specific antidotes. Even with the full use of blood purification, mechanical ventilation, and various drugs, it is often difficult to change the fatal outcome of critically ill patients. In recent years, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has gradually gained attention and exploratory application in the treatment of acute poisoning due to its significant cardiopulmonary function support, veno-venous ECMO is used for severe lung injury after poisoning, acute respiratory distress syndrome and respiratory failure due to ineffective mechanical ventilation, and it can also be used to assist the removal of residual poisons in the lungs. Veno-arterial ECMO is commonly employed in patients with circulatory failure following poisoning, fatal cardiac arrhythmias, and arrest of cardiac and respiratory. The application of veno-arterio-venous ECMO has also been reported. The mode of ECMO necessitates timely adjustments according to the evolving illness, while ongoing exploration of additional clinical indications is underway. This review analyzes and evaluates the application scope and effectiveness of ECMO in acute poisoning in recent years, with a view to better exploring and rationalizing the use of this technology.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the reliability,validity and feasibility of a patient-reported outcomes (PRO) scale in the subjects with respiratory failure. Methods364 patients with chronic respiratory failure and 97 healthy subjects were face-to-face interviewed by well-trained investigators,and the data of respiratory failure -PRO instrument were collected. The psychometric performance such as reliability,validity,responsiveness and clinical feasibility in the respiratory failure -PRO instrument was evaluated. ResultsThe Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the respiratory failure -PRO instrument and each dimension were greater than 0.7. Factor analysis showed that the instrument had good construct validity. The scores of each of the facets and total scores between the patients and the healthy subjects were different. The recovery rate and the efficient rate of the questionnaire were more than 95%,and the time required to complete a questionnaire was within 15 minutes,indicating that the scale had a high clinical feasibility. ConclusionThe respiratory failure -PRO instrument has good reliability,validity,responsiveness and clinical feasibility.
Objective To study the mortality and prognostic factors of post-operative acute respiratory failure in cancer patients. Methods There were 1632 postoperative cancer patients from2004 to 2006 in the ICU of Cancer Hospital, in which 447 patients were complicated with acute respiratory failure ( intubation or tracheotomy and mechanical ventilation) . The clinical data was retrospectively analyzed. Stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to identify variables associated with mortality for acute respiratory failure. Results In 447 patients with acute respiratory failure ( male 260, female 187) , 106 cases died with a mortality of 6. 5% . Single factor analysis showed that acute morbodities ( shock, infection, organ failure) , intervention ( continuous renal replacement therapy, vasopressor drugs) , the 28-day ICU free days and APACHE scores ( ≥ 20) had significant differences between the survivor and non-survivor. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that duration of operation( P = 0. 008, OR 1. 032, 95% CI 1. 008-1. 057) , APACHEⅡ≥20 scores( P =0. 000, OR12. 200, 95% CI 2. 896-51. 406) , organ function failure( P =0. 000, OR 13. 344,95% CI 3. 791-7. 395) were associated with mortality of acute respiratory failure. Conclusion Duration of operation, organ function failure, and APACHE Ⅱ scores were risk prognostic factors for postoperative cancer patients with acute respiratory failure.
