Home noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been increasingly used in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF). However its effectiveness remains debatable.
To describe a follow-up of COPD patients under home NIV.
Retrospective descriptive study based on a prospective 3-year database that included COPD patients under home NIV between August 2011 and July 2014.
Within the 334 patients initially screened, 109 (32.6%) had COPD with a mean±SD post-bronchodilator FEV1 of 38.6±14.9% predicted; age of 65.6±9.6 years. The mean±SD duration of ventilation was 63.4±51.1 months. Heterogeneous comorbidities that can contribute to CHRF were not excluded: obstructive sleep apnea and obesity were the most prevalent. Sixty-two (56.9%) patients started NIV during admission with acute respiratory failure. During follow-up there was a significant increase in mean inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) and respiratory rate (19.5±4.4 vs. 23.6±5.3cmHO and 10.7±5.2 vs. 15.2±1.4 breaths/min, respectively, p<0.0001), with a significant improvement in hypercapnia (PaCO: 52.9±7.7 vs. 49.5±7.5mmHg, p<0.0001), with 93.3% of patients compliant to NIV. Admissions and days spent in hospital for respiratory illness significantly decreased after institution of NIV (respectively, 1.2±1.1 vs. 0.7±1.8 and 15.0±16.8 vs. 8.8±19.4, p<0.001). At final evaluation, patients with severe hypercapnia (n=47; PaCO ≥50mmHg) performing NIV at higher pressures (n=30; IPAP ≥25cmHO) were more compliant (10.1±3.3 vs. 6.1±3.6h/day). Three-year mortality was 24.8% (27 of 109 patients).
This is a real-life retrospective study in COPD patients with CHRF which results suggest benefit from home NIV. For most, NIV was effective and tolerable even at high pressures.
家庭无创通气(NIV)已越来越多地用于稳定的慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)合并慢性高碳酸血症性呼吸衰竭(CHRF)患者。然而,其疗效仍存在争议。
描述 COPD 患者家庭 NIV 随访情况。
这是一项回顾性描述性研究,基于 2011 年 8 月至 2014 年 7 月间接受家庭 NIV 的 COPD 患者的前瞻性 3 年数据库。
在最初筛选的 334 名患者中,有 109 名(32.6%)患有 COPD,支气管扩张剂后 FEV1 占预计值的 38.6±14.9%;年龄为 65.6±9.6 岁。通气时间的平均值±标准差为 63.4±51.1 个月。未排除可能导致 CHRF 的混杂合并症:阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停和肥胖症最为常见。62 名(56.9%)患者因急性呼吸衰竭入院时开始接受 NIV。随访期间,平均吸气正压气道(IPAP)和呼吸频率显著增加(分别为 19.5±4.4 比 23.6±5.3cmHO 和 10.7±5.2 比 15.2±1.4 次/分钟,p<0.0001),高碳酸血症显著改善(PaCO:52.9±7.7 比 49.5±7.5mmHg,p<0.0001),93.3%的患者对 NIV 治疗有反应。NIV 治疗后,因呼吸疾病住院的次数和住院天数明显减少(分别为 1.2±1.1 比 0.7±1.8 和 15.0±16.8 比 8.8±19.4,p<0.001)。最终评估时,47 名高碳酸血症严重患者(PaCO≥50mmHg)和 30 名接受更高压力(IPAP≥25cmHO)NIV 治疗的患者依从性更好(分别为 10.1±3.3 比 6.1±3.6 小时/天)。3 年死亡率为 24.8%(109 例患者中有 27 例)。
这是一项 COPD 合并 CHRF 患者的真实生活回顾性研究,结果表明家庭 NIV 有益。对大多数患者而言,即使在高压力下,NIV 也是有效且可耐受的。
