Management of Acute Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure with an Advanced Form of High Flow Therapy
The goal of this activity is to equip healthcare providers with a deeper understanding of the available treatment options for adult patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in the emergency department (ED). By examining current clinical evidence comparing High-Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI) and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), participants will gain insight into the appropriate clinical scenarios for using HVNI. They will also learn how to effectively integrate this tool into the management of emergency patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.
Objectives
1. Examine current clinical evidence comparing High Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI) to non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NiPPV) in the treatment of adult patients in acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.
2. Describe the mechanisms of action of HVNI.
3. Understanding the significance and differences of cannula design for application of high-flow therapy.
4. Discuss clinical application and strategies for implementing HVNI into the care of emergency patients in acute hypercapnic respiratory failure.Credit Designation
