Multiprofessional Critical Care Review: Adult (2023)-Board Questions: Respiratory Disease, Mechanical Ventilation, and Noninvasive Support

Board Questions: Respiratory Disease, Mechanical Ventilation, and Noninvasive Support

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Non-invasive ventilation after extubation is most appropriate in a patient who was intubated three days ago for exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is the classic scenario where non-invasive ventilation can be effective. In the other scenarios, it is either not indicated or contraindicated. For example, in a patient who had CABG surgery, non-invasive ventilation is not necessary as there is no risk of extubation failure. In a patient who had an esophagectomy and required re-intubation, non-invasive ventilation is contraindicated. In a patient with community-acquired pneumonia who has already been intubated and now has worsening respiratory failure, re-intubation is necessary rather than non-invasive ventilation.
