Respiratory Failure Requiring Non Invasive Ventilation

Keywords

Non invasive ventilation, Respiratory failure, Respiratory comfort

Brief summary

The practices and processes related to the administration of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in the adult intensive care unit (ICU) of the University hospital of Lausanne will be recorded by an investigator at the bedside. The effect of the NIV treatment on various respiratory parameters ( respiratory rate, expired tidal volume, minute ventilation) will also be recorded using a pneumotachograph. Finally patient's comfort during NIV treatment will be evaluated.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Documentation of practices and processes related to NIV treatment	—	Documentation of practices and processes related to NIV administration in the adult intensive care unit(type of ventilator used, type of interface chosen, initial settings, organization of the care team and interactions between caregivers).

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Patient's Respiratory comfort	—	Patient's respiratory comfort during NIV will be assessed both by the patients themselves with a visual analogic scale and by the investigator.
Ventilatory parameters	—	Tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory time, expiratory time and maximal and mean airway pressure will be measured from the continuous recording of airway pressure and flow obtained with a pneumotachograph.
