Indications for
non-invasive ventilation (NIV)
At least one of the following:
• Respiratory acidosis (arterial pH ≤
7.35 and/or PaCO2 ≥ 45mmHg)
• Severe dyspnea with clinical signs
suggestive of respiratory muscle
fatigue, increased work of breathing,
or both, such as use of respiratory
accessory muscles, paradoxical
motion of the abdomen, or
retraction of the intercostal spaces
Evidence to support use of NIV
Strong evidence
• COPD with acute exacerbations
• Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema
(using CPAP)
• Immunocompromised patients
Less strong evidence
• Asthma
• Community-acquired pneumonia (COPD
patients)
• Post-operative respiratory failure
• Facilitation of weaning in COPD patients
• Avoidance of extubation failure
• Do-not-intubate patients

Indications for invasive mechanical ventilation
Pulmonary
• Respiratory arrest
• Respiratory pauses with loss of consciousness or gasping for air
• Life-threatening hypoxemia in patients unable to tolerate non-invasive ventilation (NIV)
• Massive aspiration
• Persistent inability to remove respiratory secretions
• Unable to tolerate NIV or NIV failure
Cardiovascular
• Cardiac arrest
• Severe ventricular arrhythmias
• Severe hemodynamic instability without response to fluids and vasoactive drugs
• Heart rate < 50/min with loss of alertness
Neurologic
• Diminished consciousness, psychomotor agitation inadequately controlled by sedation

General aspect of mechanical ventilation
• Oxygenation

PEEP
• Ventilation
Tidal volume, respiratory rate

• Monitoring and alarm system

Target
• Keep pH > 7.3
PaCO2 < 50 mmHg
PaO2 > 55 mmHg, SpO2 > 88%
• To decrease work of breathing
• Lung protection
Keep plateau pressure < 30 cmH2O
