Discomfort and noncompliance with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) interfaces are obstacles to NIV success. Total face masks (TFMs) are considered to be a very comfortable NIV interface. However, due to their large internal volume and consequent increased CO2 rebreathing, their orifices allow proximal leaks to enhance CO2 elimination. The...

... Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is widely used in managing critically ill patients ranging from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and pulmonary edema to hypoxemic respiratory failure and immunosuppression [1][2][3][4]. NIV can be delivered by a dedicated noninvasive ventilator that utilizes a single limb circuit requiring an expiratory port to allow for carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) clearance [5]. NIV can also be delivered by critical care ventilators that utilize a dual limb circuit, although they may not function well with large leaks [5]. ...

Background:
Critical care ventilators are frequently used to provide noninvasive ventilation (NIV) support to critically ill patients. Questions remain regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) clearance while using a critical care ventilator and dual limb circuit with various patient interfaces. The purpose of this study is to determine the positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) level required to effectively washout CO2 for full-face and oronasal masks when using a dual limb circuit.
Method:
This randomized crossover trial was conducted at an academic medical center in the Midwest United States. After obtaining informed consent, eight healthy volunteers were placed on a 980 Puritan Bennett (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) ventilator operating in the NIV mode. All subjects performed 20 min of breathing on four levels of PEEP (0, 2, 4, and 5 cm H2O) and pressure support of 5 cm H2O. NIV settings were applied to four masks (two oronasal and two full-face masks) that were randomly selected with a 5-min washout period between each mask. The fraction of inspired carbon dioxide (F ICO2) was sampled/monitored with a nasal cannula using a Capnostream 20p monitor (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) and reported as percentages. A Kruskal-Wallis test was used to reveal significant differences across PEEP levels. Pairwise comparisons of the groups were made using Mann-Whitney tests with a family-wise error correction.
Results:
Median (IQR) F ICO2 was significantly lower 0.0% (0%-0.92%) at PEEP of 5 compared to 1.83% (0.66%-4.0%; p < 0.001) at PEEP of 0 or 1.0% (0.33%-2.66%; p = 0.002) at PEEP of 2. F ICO2 was significantly lower 0.5% (0%-1.92%) at PEEP of 4 compared to PEEP of 0 (p = 0.001).
Conclusion:
A PEEP level of at least 5 cm H2O associated with the reported leak was required to minimize the likelihood of CO2 rebreathing while using a critical care ventilator to provide NIV with a double limb circuit and full-face or oronasal masks.

Background and Objectives: To estimate the association between admission functional outcomes and exposure to physiotherapy interventions with mortality rate in intensive care unit (ICU) inpatients with cardiovascular diseases and new coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort including 100 ICU inpatients (mean (standard deviation), age 75 (16) years) split into COVID-19+ or COVID-19−. The association of in-ICU death with admission functional outcomes and physiotherapy interventions was investigated using univariable and multivariable regression models. Results: In total, 42 (42%) patients tested positive for COVID-19. In-ICU mortality rate was 37%, being higher for the COVID-19+ group (odds ratio, OR (95% CI): 3.15 (1.37–7.47), p = 0.008). In-ICU death was associated with lower admission ICU Mobility Scale score (0.81 (0.71–0.91), p = 0.001). Restricted mobility (24.90 (6.77–161.94), p < 0.001) and passive kinesiotherapy (30.67 (9.49–139.52), p < 0.001) were associated with in-ICU death, whereas active kinesiotherapy (0.13 (0.05–0.32), p < 0.001), standing (0.12 (0.05–0.30), p < 0.001), or walking (0.10 (0.03–0.27), p < 0.001) were associated with in-ICU discharge. Conclusions: In-ICU mortality was higher for inpatients with cardiovascular diseases who had COVID-19+, were exposed to invasive mechanical ventilation, or presented with low admission mobility scores. Restricted mobility or passive kinesiotherapy were associated with in-ICU death, whereas active mobilizations (kinesiotherapy, standing, or walking) were associated with in-ICU discharge in this population.
... 5 Dentre os principais fatores que determinam o sucesso da VNI, a escolha da interface representa 50-100% de todas as complicações, sendo um dos efeitos adversos mais frequentes. 6,7,8 A seleção, o encaixe e o manuseio muitas vezes são desafiadores, pois 25-33% dos pacientes adequadamente selecionados para a VNI têm má adaptação principalmente devido a problemas relacionados à máscara. 9,10,11 A máscara facial total (MTF), semelhante à máscara de mergulho, é uma interface alternativa criada para aumentar a tolerância dos pacientes. ...
... A MFT cobre todo o rosto, gerando menos dor em pontos de pressão e vazamentos, e apesar de causar maior sensação de claustrofobia, é a interface que apresenta melhor aceitação pelos pacientes. 8,9 Entretanto, a MFT tem a desvantagem de ter um volume interno grande (875 mL). 12 A máscara de mergulho pode ser utilizada com pressão positiva contínua nas vias aéreas (CPAP) artesanal, e para que haja correto funcionamento não pode haver vazamento no sistema, pois não haverá compensação da fuga dos gases por não utilizar um ventilador próprio para VNI. ...
Objetivo: avaliar os efeitos adversos agudos e conforto da interface máscara de mergulho como estratégia de suporte ventilatório durante a ventilação não invasiva. Metodologia: Estudo clínico, experimental e descritivo, realizado no laboratório da Unidade de Pesquisas Clínicas, da Universidade Federal do Ceará, no período de junho e julho de 2020. Foram estudados 12 voluntários saudáveis. Utilizou-se um modelo de suporte ventilatório não invasivo de circuito único, acoplado a máscara de mergulho, cilindro de ar comprimido (fluxo de 15L/min) e válvula de PEEP (5cmH2O), durante o período de 60 minutos. As variáveis avaliadas foram: parâmetros fisiológicos (frequência cardíaca, frequência respiratória, pressão arterial e saturação periférica de oxigênio), gasometria venosa, escala visual analógica e efeitos adversos relacionados a interface. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 12 mulheres com idade média 25,58 ± 3,47. Não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significante entre os dados gasométricos quando comparado os valores antes e após o uso da interface. O nível de desconforto respiratório foi pontuado como leve durante o uso da interface. Os efeitos adversos com maior grau de problema foram: pressão da máscara, desconforto torácico, peso da máscara e pressão no ouvido. Conclusão: A interface máscara de mergulho parece ser viável, não apresentando graves níveis de efeitos adversos que inviabilize a sua utilização, porém para ampliar a sua aplicabilidade clínica são necessárias implementações de melhorias.
... Thus, some controlled air leak, either through the facemask or an exhalation port in the circuit, was allowed for disposal of CO 2 . [37] But even then some amount of rebreathing used to happen which can be a major issue in patients who are already hypercarbic. Most ICU ventilators are designed with a double limb circuit to eliminate this issue completely. ...
... [34] Nakamura MA et al. did a comparative study on eight ICU and one NIV ventilators equipped with NIV mode using pressure triggering method which was set at lowest limit which would not activate auto-triggering. [37] Only four ICU ventilators and the NIV ventilator performed in the desired way without auto-triggering. Misinterpretation of air leakage leading to autotriggering was found to be the main reason for failure in the other four ventilatos. ...

Noninvasive ventilation is a widely used and effective method of ventilatory support for the management of respiratory failure. The scope and utility of noninvasive ventilation are increasing as clinical experience grows. Traditionally noninvasive ventilation is used to manage respiratory failure in lower acuity ward settings and for
long-term domestic supportive care. Recently its clinical roles have expanded to embrace the management of acute respiratory events in emergency departments and intensive care units, such as for acute respiratory deterioration, and as a part of the process of weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation.
Although a dedicated noninvasive ventilation machine is generally considered ideal
for use with mask ventilation to offset air leaks, nonetheless due to their availability complex intensive care unit ventilators are increasingly used. However, these two types of ventilator differ in several technical perspectives, performance, and suitability. Therefore, it is essential that healthcare providers involved in managing respiratory failure understand these differences in order to safely use the modalities they offer. This chapter is intended to give an insight into relevant technological differences, outline the utility of intensive care unit ventilators and their performance in the noninvasive setting.
... Most old invasive critical care ventilators, failed to compensate for the leaks and hence were not suitable for delivering non-invasive ventilation. 172 In current critical care non-invasive ventilators with leak compensation, dual limb circuits with segregation of inspiratory and expiratory gases are used. In bi-level ventilators, a single limb circuit, with a leak port which serves as a port for passive exhalation is used. ...
A. ACUTE HYPERCAPNIC RESPIRATORY FAILURE A1. Acute Exacerbation of COPD: Recommendations: NIV should be used in management of acute exacerbation of COPD in patients with acute or acute-on-chronic respiratory acidosis (pH = 7.25-7.35). (1A) NIV should be attempted in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (pH <7.25 & PaCO2 ≥ 45) before initiating invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) except in patients requiring immediate intubation. (2A). Lower the pH higher the chance of failure of NIV. (2B) NIV should not to be used routinely in normo- or mildly hyper-capneic patients with acute exacerbation of COPD, without acidosis (pH > 7.35). (2B) A2. NIV in ARF due to Chest wall deformities/Neuromuscular diseases: Recommendations: NIV may be used in patients of ARF due to chest wall deformity/Neuromuscular diseases. (PaCO2 ≥ 45) (UPP) A3. NIV in ARF due to Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS): Recommendations: NIV may be used in AHRF in OHS patients when they present with acute hypercapnic or acute on chronic respiratory failure (pH 45). (3B) NIV/CPAP may be used in obese, hypercapnic patients with OHS and/or right heart failure in the absence of acidosis. (UPP) B.
Niv in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure:
B1. NIV in Acute Cardiogenic Pulmonary Oedema: Recommendations: NIV is recommended in hospital patients with ARF, due to Cardiogenic pulmonary edema. (1A). NIV should be used in patients with acute heart failure/ cardiogenic pulmonary edema, right from emergency department itself. (1B) Both CPAP and BiPAP modes are safe and effective in patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema. (1A). However, BPAP (NIV-PS) should be preferred in cardiogenic pulmonary edema with hypercapnia. (3A) B2. NIV in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure: Recommendations: NIV may be used over conventional oxygen therapy in mild early acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (P/F ratio <300 and >200 mmHg), under close supervision. (2B) We strongly recommend against a trial of NIV in patients with acute hypoxemic failure with P/F ratio <150. (2A) B3. NIV in ARF due to Chest Trauma: Recommendations: NIV may be used in traumatic flail chest along with adequate pain relief. (3B) B4. NIV in Immunocompromised Host: Recommendations: In Immunocompromised patients with early ARF, we may consider NIV over conventional oxygen. (2B). B5. NIV in Palliative Care: Recommendations: We strongly recommend use of NIV for reducing dyspnea in palliative care setting. (2A) B6. NIV in post-operative cases: Recommendations: NIV should be used in patients with post-operative acute respiratory failure. (2A) B6a. NIV in abdominal surgery: Recommendations: NIV may be used in patients with ARF following abdominal surgeries. (2A) B6b. NIV in bariatric surgery: Recommendations: NIV may be used in post-bariatric surgery patients with pre-existent OSA or OHS. (3A) B6c. NIV in Thoracic surgery: Recommendations: In cardiothoracic surgeries, use of NIV is recommended post operatively for acute respiratory failure to improve oxygenation and reduce chance of reintubation. (2A) NIV should not be used in patients undergoing esophageal surgery. (UPP) B6d. NIV in post lung transplant: Recommendations: NIV may be used for shortening weaning time and to avoid re-intubation following lung transplantation. (2B) B7. NIV during Procedures (ETI/Bronchoscopy/TEE/Endoscopy): Recommendations: NIV may be used for pre-oxygenation before intubation. (2B) NIV with appropriate interface may be used in patients of ARF during Bronchoscopy/Endoscopy to improve oxygenation. (3B) B8. NIV in Viral Pneumonitis ARDS: Recommendations: NIV cannot be considered as a treatment of choice for patients with acute respiratory failure with H1N1 pneumonia. However, it may be reasonable to use NIV in selected patients with single organ involvement, in a strictly controlled environment with close monitoring. (2B) B9. NIV and Acute exacerbation of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: Recommendations: Careful use of NIV in patients with acute Tuberculosis may be considered, with effective infection control precautions to prevent air-borne transmission. (3B) B10. NIV after planned extubation in high risk patients: Recommendation: We recommend that NIV may be used to wean high risk patients from invasive mechanical ventilation as it reduces re-intubation rate. (2B) B11. NIV for respiratory distress post extubation: Recommendations: We recommend that NIV therapy should not be used to manage respiratory distress post-extubation in high risk patients. (2B) C.
Application of niv:
Recommendation: Choice of mode should be mainly decided by factors like disease etiology and severity, the breathing effort by the patient and the operator familiarity and experience. (UPP) We suggest using flow trigger over pressure triggering in assisted modes, as it provides better patient ventilator synchrony. Especially in COPD patients, flow triggering has been found to benefit auto PEEP. (3B) D.
Management of patient on niv:
D1. Sedation: Recommendations: A non-pharmacological approach to calm the patient (Reassuring the patient, proper environment) should always be tried before administrating sedatives. (UPP) In patients on NIV, sedation may be used with extremely close monitoring and only in an ICU setting with lookout for signs of NIV failure. (UPP) E.
Equipment:
Recommendations: We recommend that portable bilevel ventilators or specifically designed ICU ventilators with non-invasive mode should be used for delivering Non-invasive ventilation in critically ill patients. (UPP) Both critical care ventilators with leak compensation and bi-level ventilators have been equally effective in decreasing the WOB, RR, and PaCO2. (3B) Currently, Oronasal mask is the most preferred interface for non-invasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure. (3B) F.
Weaning:
Recommendations: We recommend that weaning from NIV may be done by a standardized protocol driven approach of the unit.

... 8 The mask used to deliver NIV can result in variable rates of air leaks, 9,10 CO 2 rebreathing, tidal volume (V T ), and patient-ventilator synchrony, all of which can increase the work of breathing and lead to progressive respiratory failure. [11][12][13] Historically, masks that cover the mouth, nose, or both have been used to treat ARF, 9,14 until masks that cover larger surfaces of the face were available, with similar efficiency and more comfort. 15,16 These larger-volume total face masks reduce the respiratory rate, 17 use of accessory muscles, and P CO 2 14,17 when compared with oronasal masks, without clear superiority in terms of clinical outcomes. ...
Background:
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) reduces intubation and mortality in patients with COPD exacerbation who present with respiratory failure, and the type of mask may affect its success. Our objective was to compare the performance of 3 different NIV masks in a lung model.
Methods:
We set the lung simulator mechanics and respiratory rate, and tested a small oronasal mask, a total face mask, and a large oronasal mask. We added CO2 at a constant rate into the system and monitored the end-tidal carbon dioxide. We used a mechanical ventilator to deliver NIV in 8 different combinations of inspiratory effort, pressure support, and expiratory positive airway pressure. We measured end-tidal carbon dioxide mask leakage, tidal volume, trigger time, time to achieve 90% of the inspiratory target during inspiration, and excess inspiratory time.
Results:
We presented the mean ± SD of the 8 simulated conditions for each mask. The mean ± SD leakage was higher for the total face mask (51 ± 6 L/min) than for the small oronasal mask (37 ± 5 L/min) and for the large oronasal mask (21 ± 3 L/min), P < .001; but end-tidal carbon dioxide and tidal volume were similar. The mean ± SD 90% of the inspiratory target during inspiration was faster for the small oronasal mask (585 ± 49 ms) compared with the large oronasal (647 ± 107 ms) and total face mask (851 ± 105 ms), P < .001, all other variables were similar.
Conclusions:
In this model, we found that the type of mask had no impact on CO2 washout or on most synchrony variables.
... The authors concluded that most critical care ventilators were unable to deliver NIV with total face mask interfaces because of the large leak. 17 In bench and clinical studies to date, bi-level ventilators have generally outperformed critical care ventilators in the presence of leaks. It should be noted, however, that these studies have shown that some critical care ventilators perform well and comparatively to bi-level ventilators under these circumstances. ...
The use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is common in adult acute care. As evidence to support the use of NIV has developed, there has been a concurrent proliferation of NIV technology. Efforts have been made to improve patient-ventilator synchrony, monitoring capabilities, and portability of devices used to deliver NIV. The technological enhancements provide clinicians with myriad modes, settings, and capabilities designed to improve patient adherence with NIV. Although this technology is generally superior to that of the past, a great deal of variation exists between devices. Clinicians need to be accustomed to the devices available to them to maximize the potential for clinical improvement and patient tolerance. The purpose of this paper is to review current technology, current literature comparing devices, and various clinical considerations associated with NIV use in adult acute care.
... NIV, especially with full face masks, also increases apparatusassociated dead space. 3 These two factors may lead to CO 2 accumulation, which may not be overcome by increased minute ventilation. In situations when the respiratory pattern becomes rapid and shallow, this also must be considered. ...
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is frequently used in patients with acute respiratory failure and its
success is dependent on the underlying cause of the condition. When used for cases with a more
rapid, reversible nature, like cardiogenic pulmonary oedema or acute exacerbations of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease, early intervention before patient deterioration is a key factor in success.
Gastric distention-associated anastomose leakage after bariatric surgery is overestimated and the
success of NIV trials in patients with encephalopathy has a strong association with the triggering
cause rather than the severity of a coma. Immunocompromised patients mostly benefit from a short
period of ventilation and more invasive ventilation is associated with excessively high mortality
independent of the cause. In other diseases with parenchyma inflammation or infection, little success
with NIV has been shown. Limiting ventilator-induced lung injury in these patients is another issue and
is mostly achieved with heavy sedation or paralysis. Since NIV failure increases the risk of mortality,
determination of a failing patient is of paramount importance. Clinical and laboratory surrogates
of muscle fatigue can also be assessed. Adequate pressure support and positive end-expiratory
pressure levels vary and the haemodynamic status of the patients must be considered.
Ventilator–patient asynchrony increases NIV failure. Unfit interfaces also result in asynchrony,
which will inevitably lead to failure, and observing waveforms can address this issue. The aims of
this review were to understand the mechanism of NIV that leads to its failure or success, to become
aware that delaying the appropriate therapy increases mortality, and to elucidate that spontaneous
breathing can be a double-edged sword in some circumstances.
... In case of relevant air leaks, the flow delivered by the ventilator might never reach this threshold value, leading to patient asynchrony. A recent benchtop study showed that many ICU ventilators are not suitable for delivering NPPV in case of large air leaks [20]. ...
... In some ICU ventilators, several ventilation modes are available that cycle between two levels of constant pressure, allowing spontaneous unassisted breaths at any pressure level. In most cases these ventilation modes are not specifically designed for delivery through non-invasive interfaces; therefore, the lack of air leak compensation can lead to an undesired loss of pressurization [20]. ...
... On the other hand, when the mask is blurred the patient has a reduced visibility. Furthermore, a recent study found out that these devices may be difficult to adapt to ICU ventilators [20]. ...
Thoracic surgical procedures have a significant impact on respiratory function, mediated by multiple surgery-related and patient-related factors. Therefore, thoracic surgery is at high risk for developing postoperative pulmonary complications, and attributable mortality due to postoperative lung injury is higher compared to abdominal surgery. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) can improve the respiratory function in several ways and showed advantages in the prevention and treatment of acute respiratory failure occurring in the postoperative period. Several small studies investigated the role of NPPV in the perioperative care of the patient undergoing thoracic surgery, including lung resections. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the basics of NPPV and to summarize the actual knowledge about its role in thoracic surgery.
... S'il est jugé généralement plus confortable, il provoque néanmoins une sécheresse orale et nasale, ainsi qu'une sensation de claustrophobie [13]. Par ailleurs, lors de son utilisation, si des fuites relativement importantes se présentent, il majore l'asynchronie patient-machine [14]. ...
The success of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is primarily based on good clinical indicators. Three important parameters are involved — the ventilator, the mask and the patient. The choice of the equipment used will therefore be based on several criteria, such as, patient’s face profile, pathology and comorbidities, and even to some extent the expected duration of ventilation. Nowadays, a large collection of interface is available. When the choice was finally made on a mask, several technical criteria related to it must be observed. The good knowledge of all these aspects will lead to higher chances of success. © 2015, Société de réanimation de langue française (SRLF) and Springer-Verlag France.
