Anesthesia & Analgesia, 06/22/09
Racca F et al. - The authors describe two patients with acute respiratory failure due to Duchenne muscular dystrophy who developed nasal bridge skin necrosis during NIV. Helmet pressure support ventilation caused significant patient-ventilator asynchrony, leading to NIV intolerance. Thus, biphasic positive airway pressure delivered by helmet was applied, which improved gas exchange and patient-ventilator interaction, allowing successful NIV.
