Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation reduces complications by helping to wean patients off mechanical ventilation

Cochrane - Colección Especial - Medidas de prevención y control de la infección
Some patients with COVID-19 will develop respiratory failure and need help with their breathing. This might be provided by mechanical ventilation (MV) in an intensive care unit (ICU), but this can cause complications. Non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) (such as via a mask connected to a positive pressure ventilator) is used to try to reduce these complications by helping to wean patients off MV. There was a Cochrane systematic review, where the authors searched for randomized and ...

Some patients with COVID-19 will become seriously ill and develop breathing problems. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) might be used to help with this. Use in the management of acute respiratory failure in pulmonary infections, especially in pandemics, can avert or reverse respiratory failure and decrease the need for endotracheal intubation in selected groups of contagious patients. Reasonable and adequate precautionary steps should be followed to protect healthcare workers, other patients and ...

Cochrane - Colección Especial - Medidas de prevención y control de la infección
Like COVID-19, Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is an acute respiratory disease caused by a coronavirus. Some of the drugs given to patients with MERS are being considered for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. The combination of ribavirin and interferon might be effective for the treatment of MERS, if given promptly and with monitoring of adverse events. Corticosteroids did not show benefits on survival of patients with MERS. Interferon did not show benefits on mortality rate or ...

Cochrane - Colección Especial - Medidas de prevención y control de la infección
Some patients with COVID-19 will develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI) and need help with their breathing. This might be provided by mechanical ventilation (MV) in an intensive care unit (ICU). However, complications such as ventilator-induced lung injury may arise with MV. Lung protective ventilation strategies involving gentler forms of MV are widely used to prevent this. Using mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume reduces 28-day mortality ...

Some patients with COVID-19 will develop respiratory failure and need help with their breathing. This might be provided by mechanical ventilation (MV) in an intensive care unit (ICU). Various methods are used to help wean patients off MV. Weaning protocols need to take account of the social and cultural environment in which they will be implemented. Weaning protocols need to accommodate the complexities of clinical practice found in the ICU environment. Comprehensive inter-professional input ...
