Ventilator Care in the ICU: What Patients and Families Should Know

In the intensive care unit (ICU), ventilators are often a crucial part of patient care. A ventilator helps people who are unable to breathe adequately on their own due to medical conditions such as severe lung infections, trauma, or surgeries. For patients and their families, ventilator care can be daunting, but understanding the process and what to expect can bring a level of comfort during a…

Non-invasive Ventilation: An Overview of Respiratory Support

Non-invasive Ventilation: Introduction Non-invasive Ventilation Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a treatment option for persons with respiratory failure that improves oxygenation and decreases carbon dioxide levels without requiring intubation. NIV can be provided in a variety of ways, including BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV),…

Here are the main differences between invasive and non-invasive ventilation

Spontaneous ventilation can be assisted or replaced by delivering mechanical ventilation through positive airway pressure or negative airway pressure to the chest wall.

Pain: Unlike invasive ventilation, non-invasive ventilation is not a painful process. Invasion: The invasive and non-invasive ventilation treatments are different as the prior does not involve invading any body part while the latter does. Costly: Getting invasive ventilation treatment is more expensive when compared with NIV.

Following are the benefits of using non-invasive ventilation

Increased Lung Capacity- The treatment can increase the lung capacity of patients. It can decrease the efforts you put into breathing. Suitability: Non-invasive ventilation is a suitable treatment method for treating patients at home or hospital.

The value of mask delivered NON-INVASIVE HOME VENTILATION

The hospital base-case (250 patients with severe COPD eligible for home Advanced-NIV) revealed cumulative 30- and 90-day savings of $402,981 and $449,101, respectively, for Advanced NON-INVASIVE VENTILATION versus both comparators. These savings were largely driven by reductions in 30-day hospital readmissions. For the payer base-case (100,000 patients), 3-year cumulative savings with Advanced-NIV were $326M versus no NIV, and $1.04B versus RAD-NIV. Payer savings were primarily a result of reduced admissions over the 3-year period. For both the hospital and payer, larger COPD patient cohorts were associated with greater savings.

Conclusions

This analysis supports the important role of home care in COPD and provides evidence for the economic benefits of home Advanced-NIV as part of a      multi-faceted intervention program. Adoption of home Advanced NON-INVASIVE VENTILATION with AVAPS-AE presents an opportunity for hospitals to reduce COPD readmission-related costs, and for payers to reduce costs associated with managing severe COPD patients based on reduced admissions.
