Accurate tidal volume monitoring to optimize safe non-invasive ventilation settings in patients with SARS-CoV-2

ABSTRACT

SARS-CoV-2 is characterized by severe hypoxia with good lung compliance. Elective invasive ventilation has been preferred over NIV, with a consequent increase of ICU resources. It has been reported that patient anxiety and excessive inspired volume during NIV leads to the development of Patient Self-Inflicted Lung Injury (P-SILI) and NIV failure. Thus, we propose an individualized adjustment of NIV settings with accurate TV feedback to reduce treatment failure.
