Indications
- acute respiratory failure (1st line)[12]
- reduces need for endotracheal intubation
- relative to endotracheal intubation
- reduces mortality
- does not improve neurologic status
- chronic hypercapneic respiratory failure[2][4]
- heart failure & cardiogenic pulmonary edema[5][6]
- more effective than CPAP alone[5]
- reduces the risk of endotracheal intubation & death
- does not protect against a new myocardial infarction.
- no data that CPAP reduces stroke reduces need for balloon pump or coronary revascularization[11]
- sleep-related hypoventilation syndromes
- end-stage respiratory failure due to neuromuscular disease
- complex sleep apnea[9]
- efficacy of BiPAP relative to CPAP for routine treatment of obstructive sleep apnea has not been established[2]
- non-invasive ventilation in postoperative management
- general
- will wear mask
- hemodynamically stable
- alert, awake
Contraindications
- general
- will not wear mask
- hemodynamically unstable
- obtunded, stuperous, coma
- does not improve exercise capacity in patients with COPD[3]
Benefit/risk
Diagnostic procedures
- polysomnography may be helpful to establish optimal inspiratory & expiratory pressures for nocturnal BiPAP
Procedure
- both inspiratory & expiratory pressure are applied by a mask during the respiratory cycle
- the inspiratory & expiratory pressures are set independently[2]
- like CPAP, may be used as nocturnal procedure
Mechanism of action
- inspiratory support decreases work of breathing.
- expiratory support (CPAP) improves gas exchange by preventing alveolar collapse
- nocturnal BiPAP decreases nocturnal pCO2, daytime pCO2, & sleepiness
- benefit in heart failure may be due to neural changes, not simply alteration of preload[5]
