Article Synopsis
- Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is often used for immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure, but its failure can lead to increased mortality, prompting a study on its effectiveness in patients with hematologic malignancies.
- A retrospective analysis of 79 patients at Mount Sinai Hospital revealed that 56% of those treated with NIV ultimately required endotracheal intubation, with total ICU mortality at 42% and 3-month mortality at 57%.
- The study found that patients who failed NIV or had a do-not-intubate order tended to have more severe conditions, such as acute leukemia, higher respiratory demands, and more frequent vasopressor use compared to those who successfully avoided intubation.
