Respiratory failure & ventilation

Influence of different noninvasive oxygenation support devices on tidal volume

Ann Intensive CarePublished Bench study and healthy-volunteer study

Authors' conclusion

Tidal volume is significantly influenced by noninvasive oxygenation support devices, with a strong correlation with the pressure variation generated into the mouth during inspiration. NIV was associated with the highest tidal volumes and CPAP with the lowest ones.

Study context

Population
Manikin connected to a lung simulator (normal, obstructive, restrictive mechanics; low, moderate, respiratory distress efforts) and healthy volunteers
Comparison
HFNC, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), mask noninvasive ventilation (Mask-NIV), helmet NIV (Helmet-NIV) vs oxygen mask (O2-mask)
Outcome
Tidal volume

Mouth pressure-time product during inspiration (PTPmouth, bench)

Tidal volume strongly correlated with each device's effect on mouth pressure during inspiration

Tidal volume by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) (healthy volunteers)

Similar between O2-mask and CPAP; higher with HFNC, Mask-NIV and Helmet-NIV
