What are the next steps in management for a patient with acute respiratory failure due to COPD exacerbation who fails to improve with medical management?
- Initial: High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) to maintain SaO2 88% - 92%
- If no improvement: {{c1::Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV)}}
- Initial: High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) to maintain SaO2 88% - 92%
- If no improvement: {{c1::Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV)}}
Extra
- CPAP and BiPAP are both types of NIPPV
- Consider high flow nasal cannula only if the condition is not immediately life threatening
- Maintain a low threshold for intubation and mechanical ventilation
- NIPPV may be contraindicated (e.g., AMS, agitation, hemodynamic instability)
