RESPIRATORY UPDATE 2012 GUWAHATI

HIGH INTENSITY NON INVASIVE VENTILATION

High intensity NPPV is a new strategy aim at maximal improvement in gas exchange in COPD patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure by increasing ventilator setting to the individually tolerated maximum if necessary or to the level necessary to achieve normocapnia.

In contrast to conventional NPPV in high intensity NPPV an IPAP (Inspiratory positive airway pressure) is set in between 20-40 cm of H2O initially in hospital setting and later at home. The randomised controlled trail has shown that high intensity NPPV cause several benefit. Compare to conventional strategy it showed-

• Improved gas exchange
• Improvement in breathing pattern and lung function
• Improvement in inspiratory muscle strength
• Increase haematocrit in anemic COPD and decrease haematocrit in polycythemic COPD
• Improvement in dyspnea, quality of life and walking distance.
