Background: The ratio of SpO/FiO to respiratory rate (ROX) index is commonly used to predict the failure of high-flow nasal cannula. However, its predictive power for noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure is unclear.

Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study, intended to update risk scoring. Patients with de novo acute respiratory failure were enrolled, but hypercapnic patients were excluded. The ROX index was calculated before treatment and after 1-2, 12, and 24 h NIV. Differences in predictive power for NIV failure using the ROX index, PaO/FiO, and PaO/FiO/respiratory rate were tested.

Results: A total of 1286 patients with de novo acute respiratory failure were enrolled. Of these, 568 (44%) experienced NIV failure. Patients with NIV failure had a lower ROX index than those with NIV success. The rates of NIV failure were 92.3%, 70.5%, 55.3%, 41.1%, 35.1%, and 29.5% in patients with ROX index values calculated before NIV of ≤ 2, 2-4, 4-6, 6-8, 8-10, and > 10, respectively. Similar results were found when the ROX index was assessed after 1-2, 12, and 24 h NIV. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was 0.64 (95% CI 0.61-0.67) when the ROX index was used to predict NIV failure before NIV. It increased to 0.71 (95% CI 0.68-0.74), 0.74 (0.71-0.77), and 0.77 (0.74-0.80) after 1-2, 12, and 24 h NIV, respectively. The predictive power for NIV failure was similar for the ROX index and for the PaO/FiO. Likewise, no difference was found between the ROX index and the PaO/FiO/respiratory rate, except at the time point of 1-2 h NIV.

Conclusions: The ROX index has moderate predictive power for NIV failure in patients with de novo acute respiratory failure.

Non-Invasive Ventilation Failure in Pediatric ICU: A Machine Learning Driven Prediction.

Diagnostics (Basel)

December 2024

Unit of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Public Health, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, and Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Via Loredan 18, 35131 Padova, Italy.

: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has emerged as a possible first-step treatment to avoid invasive intubation in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) due to its advantages in reducing intubation-associated risks. However, the timely identification of NIV failure is crucial to prevent adverse outcomes. This study aims to identify predictors of first-attempt NIV failure in PICU patients by testing various machine learning techniques and comparing their predictive abilities.

Background: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) uses positive pressure to assist people with respiratory muscle weakness or severe respiratory compromise to breathe. Most people use this treatment during sleep when breathing is most susceptible to instability. The benefits of using NIV in motor neurone disease (MND) are well-established.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify factors influencing CPAP failure rates in patients with COVID-19-related hypoxemia, analyzing 200 ICU patients in southwestern Iran.
  • Results showed a high CPAP failure rate (78.5%), particularly linked to higher HACOR scores, diabetes mellitus, older age, obesity, and elevated Blood Urea Nitrogen levels.
  • The findings suggest that specific clinical factors such as HACOR scores and comorbidities significantly impact the effectiveness of CPAP therapy in these patients.

Early noninvasive ventilation in general wards for acute respiratory failure: an international, multicentre, open-label, randomised trial.

Background: The impact of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) managed outside the intensive care unit in patients with early acute respiratory failure remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether adding early NIV prevents the progression to severe respiratory failure.

Methods: In this multinational, randomised, open-label controlled trial, adults with mild acute respiratory failure (arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspiratory oxygen [Pao/FiO] ratio ≥200) were enrolled across 11 hospitals in Italy, Greece, and Kazakhstan.

Background: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has emerged as a promising intervention for post-extubation oxygen therapy, with the potential to reduce the need for reintubation. However, it remains unclear whether using a higher flow setting provides better outcomes than the commonly used flow rate of 30-50 L/min.

Research Question: Does setting the flow rate of HFNC at 60 L/min versus 40 L/min for post-extubation care result in different extubation outcomes?

Study Design And Methods: This randomized controlled trial assigned intubated patients to receive HFNC at either a 60 L/min or 40 L/min flow rate following extubation.
