Abstract
Introduction: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) treatment is effective and potentially lifesaving in patients with respiratory acidosis and acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). However, feelings of anxiety during NIV treatment are common, potentially leading to premature patient-initiated termination of treatment.The primary aim of this study is to examine whether psychiatric disorders are a risk factor of premature patient-initiated termination of NIV treatment. The secondary aim is to examine the patterns in use of sedative drugs during NIV treatment.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study includes 195 patients with AECOPD receiving NIV between 1 January and 31 December 2018, in hospitals in the Northern Region of Denmark. Information was obtained from medical records. Psychiatric disorders were defined by the use of psycholeptics at home, right before admission.Primary outcome was premature patient-initiated termination of NIV treatment. Secondary outcome was the use of any sedative drug during NIV treatment.
Results: Patient-initiated premature termination was seen in 41 (21%) of cases. This group had a significantly higher mortality (43.9% vs. 19.5% in the total population, p < 0.01). A higher risk of patient-initiated premature termination was seen in patients with psychiatric disorders (Odds ratio 2.18, p < 0.05) and older age (Odds ratio 1.06, p < 0.05). No significant difference in the use of sedative drugs was seen (34.1% vs. 38.1% in the total population, p 0.12).
Conclusion: A significantly higher risk of premature patient-initiated termination of NIV treatment was seen in patients with psychiatric disorders and older patients, but not in patients with active smoking or excessive use of alcohol. No significant difference in the pattern of sedative drug use during treatment was seen.
无创通气(NIV)治疗对呼吸性酸中毒和慢性阻塞性肺疾病(AECOPD)急性加重患者是有效的,并且可能挽救生命。然而,在NIV治疗期间的焦虑感是常见的,可能导致患者过早终止治疗。本研究的主要目的是探讨精神疾病是否是患者过早终止NIV治疗的危险因素。第二个目的是检查在NIV治疗期间镇静药物的使用模式。方法:本回顾性队列研究包括丹麦北部地区医院2018年1月1日至12月31日期间接受NIV治疗的195例AECOPD患者。资料是从医疗记录中获得的。精神障碍是通过入院前在家使用抗精神病药来定义的。主要结局是患者主动终止NIV治疗。次要结果是在NIV治疗期间使用任何镇静药物。结果:41例(21%)的病例是由患者引起的早产。这组患者的死亡率明显高于对照组(43.9% vs. 19.5%)。结论:精神疾病患者和老年患者过早终止NIV治疗的风险明显较高,而吸烟或过度饮酒的患者则无此风险。治疗期间镇静药物使用模式无显著差异。
