Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation in the Management of Respiratory Distress in Cardiac Diseases

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation and Difficult Weaning in Critical Care

Abstract

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is the application of respiratory support without the use of endotracheal intubation. The beneficial effects of NIV can be seen in multiple pulmonary and cardiovascular pathophysiologic states. Although NIV is somewhat better studied in primary pulmonary than in cardiovascular diseases, both experience and data show definite utility in its appropriate application to respiratory distress in the acute cardiac patient. This chapter focuses on cardiogenic pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure, and the cardiothoracic surgical patient (including coronary artery bypass grafts, valvular heart disease, and percutaneous interventions), and discusses and examines both continuous positive airway pressure and bi-level positive airway pressure.
