Abstract

There are certain indications for which noninvasive ventilation (NIV) can be initiated outside the intensive care unit (ICU). However, there should be a clear policy for such admissions based on the clinical condition which includes hemodynamic stability, consciousness, pH from a blood gas, and the indication for NIV. The location where NIV is started should have continuous monitoring of hemodynamics, consciousness, oxygenation, respiratory rate, and acid-base status. The nursing staff involved should be trained in managing patients with NIV and also proficient in basic troubleshooting of the ventilators. The nursing staff needs to be instructed regarding when to raise an alarm or inform the ICU outreach team in case they anticipate a failure of NIV requiring ICU admission of these patients for further management and if necessary, invasive ventilation.
