Positive Pressure Ventilation in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
Journal of the American College of Cardiology 2018 September 26
Contemporary cardiac intensive care units (CICUs) provide care for an aging and increasingly complex patient population. The medical complexity of this population is partly driven by an increased proportion of patients with respiratory failure needing noninvasive or invasive positive pressure ventilation (PPV). PPV often plays an important role in the management of patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema, cardiogenic shock, or cardiac arrest, and those undergoing mechanical circulatory support. Noninvasive PPV, when appropriately applied to selected patients, may reduce the need for invasive mechanical PPV and improve survival. Invasive PPV can be lifesaving, but has both favorable and unfavorable interactions with left and right ventricular physiology and carries a risk of complications that influence CICU mortality. Effective implementation of PPV requires an understanding of the underlying cardiac and pulmonary pathophysiology. Cardiologists who practice in the CICU should be proficient with the indications, appropriate selection, potential cardiopulmonary interactions, and complications of PPV.
