Answer to Question 1

ANS: A (page 371)
Cognitive Level: Recall
A. Correct response: Selection of appropriate patients for NPPV is critical for optimizing success rates and deriving benefits. The following factors are predictors of success of NPPV used for the treatment of acute respiratory failure:
  Cooperative patient
  Intact neurologic function
  Synchrony with the ventilator
  APACHE II score <29
  pH >7.25
  Intact dentition
  Well-controlled air leaking
  Able to control secretions
  Within first 2 hours of using NPPV
 o Reduced respiratory rate (>30 breaths/min)
 o Reduced accessory muscle use
 o Improved gas exchange (increasing Pao2/Fio2 )
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A (page 369)
Cognitive Level: Application
A. Correct response: Patients who develop respiratory failure after extubation according to standard criteria are at high risk for morbidity and have mortality rates up to 40. NPPV has been suggested as a treatment to avoid reintubation and to improve outcomes. Studies comparing NPPV and standard O2 therapy found no reduction in reintubation attributable to NPPV. One study even found a significantly increased ICU mortality in the NPPV group. However, studies seem to indicate that for patients who have either COPD or congestive heart failure, NPPV reduces the need for postextubation reintubation respiratory failure. Forty percent to 50 of patients in these trials had COPD or CHF, and in one study most of the benefit was attributable to the COPD subgroup. Early indiscriminate use of NPPV in patients who have risk factors for extubation failure, but do not meet standard criteria for NPPV initiation is discouraged.
B. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
C. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
D. Incorrect response: See explanation A.
