[Acute respiratory failure : non-invasive hospital management].

Revue Médicale Suisse 2020 September 10
Acute respiratory failure is a complex physiopathological process and the choice of the most appropriate therapy has to be made between standard oxygen therapy (SOT), high-flow oxygen therapy through nasal cannula (High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC)), non- invasive ventilation (NIV) or invasive ventilation. HFNC can deliver a higher and consistent inspired fraction of oxygen than SOT, but has not clearly demonstrated a clinical advantage over other methods. NIV is a therapy of choice in the management of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, but its effectiveness in other indications is questionable. In any case, early detection of treatment failure is essential to avoid late tracheal intubation, which is associated with increased mortality.
