Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation: Discharge Planning’s from Intensive Care to Hospital Wards

Noninvasive Ventilation Outside Intensive Care Unit

Abstract

Respiratory failure is a common disorder that requires intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a treatment modality for respiratory failure. Although the most substantial scientific data supports the usage of NIV in the ICU, NIV therapy can also be performed in hospital wards, emergency services, and at home as a long-term therapy. Effective ICU admission and discharge processes are needed to minimize morbidity, mortality, and ICU readmissions and improve family and patient satisfaction, cost-efficacy, and availability of ICU beds. The decisions to admit patients to ICU or discharge them to the ward should be established according to patients’ disease severity, need for close monitoring, location capabilities, and staff experiences.
