TREATMENT
Therapy is tailored to the underlying etiology of syncope with goals of preventing recurrence and reducingriskofinjuryordeath.
Neurocardiogenicsyncope
Counsel patients to take steps to avoid injury by being aware of prodromal symptoms and
maintainingahorizontalpositionatthosetimes.
Avoidknownprecipitantsandmaintainadequatehydration.
Employisometricmusclecontractionduringprodrometoabortasyncopalepisode.
Evidencesuggeststhatβ-adrenergicblockersareprobablyunhelpful;selectiveserotoninreuptake
inhibitorantidepressantsandfludrocortisone havedebatable effect;midodrine(initiatedat5 mg
PO tid and can be increased to 15 mg tid) is probably helpful in treatment of neurocardiogenic
syncope.
33-35
Ingeneral,PPMshavenoprovenbenefitinthemanagementofneurocardiogenicsyncope.However,
permanent dual-chamber pacemakers with hysteresis function (high-rate pacing in response to a
detectedsudden drop inheartrate) have beenshowntobe useful inhighly selected patients with
https://t.me/med1917
recurrentneurocardiogenicsyncopewithaprominentcardioinhibitorycomponent.
36
Cardiacpacingforcarotidsinushypersensitivityisappropriateinsyncopalpatients.
Ingeneral,neurocardiogenicsyncopeisnotassociatedwithincreasedriskofmortality.
Orthostatichypotension
Adequatehydrationandeliminationofoffendingdrugs.
Saltsupplementation,compressivestockings,andcounselingongradualpositionchanges.
Midodrineandfludrocortisonecanhelpbyincreasing systolic BPandexpanding plasma volume,
respectively.
Cardiovascular(arrhythmiaormechanical)
Treatment of underlying disorder (valve replacement, antiarrhythmic agent, coronary
revascularization,etc.)
Cardiacpacingforsinusnodedysfunctionorhigh-degreeAVblock
DiscontinuationofQT-prolongingdrugs
CatheterablationproceduresinselectpatientswithsyncopeassociatedwithSVT

RespiratoryFailure
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Definitions
Hypoxemic(type 1) respiratory failure: Occurs when normal gas exchange is seriously impaired, causing hypoxemia (arterial oxygen tension[PaO2] <60mmHg or arterial oxygen saturation[SaO2]
<90%). Usually associated with tachypnea and hypocapnia; however, progression can lead to hypercapnia as well. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an important form of hypoxemicrespiratoryfailurecausedbyacutelunginjury.Thecommonendresultisdisruptionofthe alveolocapillary membrane, leading to increased vascular permeability and accumulation of inflammatorycellsandprotein-richfluidwithinthealveolarspace.
TheARDSDefinitionTaskForcedefinedARDSasfollows1:
Onsetwithin1weekofaknownclinicalinsultorneworworseningrespiratorysymptoms; Bilateralopacitiesnotfullyexplainedbyeffusions,lobar/lungcollapse,ornodules; Respiratoryfailurenotfullyexplainedbycardiacfailureorvolumeoverload;and ImpairedoxygenationwithlowPaO2tofractionofinspiredoxygen(FIO2)ratio(PaO2/FIO2≤300
mmHg).
TheseverityofARDSisstratifiedbasedonPaO2/FIO2.
Mild:200<PaO2/FIO2≤300mmHgwithpositiveend-expiratorypressure(PEEP)orcontinuous positiveairwaypressure(CPAP)≥5cmH2O Moderate:100<PaO2/FIO2≤200mmHgwithPEEP≥5cmH2O Severe:PaO2/FIO2≤100mmHgwithPEEP≥5cmH2O
Hypercapnic(type 2) respiratory failure: Occurs with acuteelevation of carbondioxide (arterial carbondioxidetension[PaCO2]>45mmHg),producingarespiratoryacidosis(pH<7.35).
Postoperative(type3)respiratoryfailure:Occurswhenpatientsdevelopatelectasisfrompainorthe useofsedativespostoperatively.Inreality,thisisasubsetoftype1or2respiratoryfailure;however, asthisissocommon,itisoftenclassifiedasitsowntypeofrespiratoryfailure. Respiratory failure from shock (type 4): Respiratory failure where the metabolic demands of the patient aretoohighfortherespiratorysystemtocompensatefor(e.g.,fromsepsisorfever).Patients are often intubated in the process of resuscitation to off-load the respiratory system and decrease oxygenconsumption. Mixedrespiratory failure: Most commonly, respiratoryfailure is due to multiple pathophysiologic processesthatcanleadtobothhypercarbiaandhypoxemia.
https://t.me/med1917
Pathophysiology
Hypoxemicrespiratoryfailure(type1):Usuallyistheresultofthelung’sreducedabilitytodeliver oxygenacrossthealveolocapillarymembrane.Theseverityofgasexchangeimpairmentisdetermined bycalculatingtheP(A–a)O2gradient(A-agradient)usingthealveolargasequation:
whereFIO2=thefractionofinspiredoxygen,P
ATM
=atmosphericpressure,
=watervaporpressure,andR=therespiratoryquotient.Hypoxemiaiscausedbyoneofthefollowing fivemechanisms:
Ventilation–perfusion(V/Q)mismatch:Occurswhen perfusiondoesnot compensatefora change inventilationorviceversa(e.g.,emphysema,pneumonia,pulmonaryedema,pulmonaryembolism). V/Qmismatchleads toanelevatedA-a gradient.Administrationofsupplementaloxygen increases PaO2 (of note, supplemental oxygen paradoxically worsens V/Q mismatching in emphysema via
reversinghypoxicvasoconstrictionofpulmonarycapillariessupplyingpoorlyventilatedalveoli). Shunt:Occurswhenmixedvenousbloodbypasseslungunitsandenterssystemicarterialcirculation without receiving oxygenation. Shunts can be congenital (e.g., intracardiac shunt) or acquired (atelectasis, hepatopulmonary syndrome). Shunt leads to an elevated A-a gradient. In pure shunt, administrationofsupplementaloxygendoesnotincreasePaO2.SeeTable8-1fordifferentcausesof
shunt.

Mucouspluggingwithlobarcollapse
Cardiacshunts Patentforamenovale
Atrialseptaldefect Ventricularseptaldefect
Vascularshunts Arteriovenousmalformation
Diffusionabnormality: Occursowingtoabnormalitiesofthe interstitiumwhereinthetimeittakes forgasequilibrationislongerthantheredbloodcelltransittimethroughthepulmonarycapillaries (e.g.,pulmonaryfibrosis,pulmonaryhypertension).DiffusionabnormalitiesleadtoanelevatedA-a gradient.AdministrationofsupplementaloxygenincreasesPaO2.
Hypoventilation: Occurs owing to a decrease inminute ventilation that results in an increase in PaCO2 (see the causes of hypercapnia under “Hypercapnic respiratory failure [type 2]”) and
displacementofoxygen.TheA-agradientisnormal.Primarytreatmentisdirectedatcorrectingthe causeofhypoventilation.AdministrationofsupplementaloxygenincreasesPaO2.
Lowinspiredoxygen:Occursowingtoalowpartialpressureofinspiredoxygen(e.g.,high-altitude travel).A-agradientisnormal.AdministrationofsupplementaloxygenincreasesPaO2.
Hypercapnicrespiratoryfailure(type2):Primarilyoccursowingtoventilatoryfailure,resultingin anelevatedPaCO2>45mmHg:
whereCO2=CO2production,VA=alveolarventilation,VE=expiredtotalventilation,andVD=dead spaceventilation.Thecauseofhypercapniaisgenerallyfailureofoneofthefollowingcomponentsof
therespiratorysystem:
Disorders of the central nervous system: An impaired respiratory drive causes a decreased respiratoryrate(“won’tbreathe”);e.g.,opiate overdose, central apnea/hypoventilation,metabolic alkalosis,centralnervoussystem(CNS)infection. Disordersofanterior horncells,peripheralnervoussystem,ormuscles: Neuromuscular failure or muscle weakness causesdecreased tidalvolume (“can’tbreathe”);e.g.,Guillain–Barré syndrome, myastheniagravis,amyotrophiclateralsclerosis,musculardystrophies,myopathies. Disorders of the thoracic cavity: Anatomic abnormality causes decreased tidal volume; e.g., kyphoscoliosis,morbidobesity,pleuraleffusions,abdominaldistention,diaphragmaticinjury. Disorders of the airway or lung parenchyma: Lung pathology causes increased dead space; e.g., asthma,chronicobstructivepulmonarydisease(COPD),severeARDS.
https://t.me/med1917
Hypermetabolic states can cause increased CO2 production and lead to hypercapnia; e.g., sepsis, seizure,thyrotoxicosis,serotoninsyndrome.
NoninvasiveOxygenTherapy
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Nasal cannulas: Most commonly used, but the exact FIO2 delivered is unknown because it is influenced by peak inspiratory flow demand. Each additional liter of flow increases FIO2 by approximately4%(e.g.,2L/mindelivers 28%).Flowratesshouldgenerallybelimitedto≤6L/min.
Anoxygenreservoirdevicecanincreaseoxygendelivery. Simplefacemask:DeliversoxygenatFIO2of35%–55%usingflowsof5–12L/min(lowerflowrates
shouldbeavoidedtopreventbreathinginexpiredCO2). Venturi masks: Allow theprecise administration ofoxygen via a facemask by delivering a mix of
ambientairwithoxygen.UsualFIO2valuesdeliveredare24%,28%,31%,35%,40%,and50%.As FIO2increases,totalflowdecreases. Nonrebreathingmasks: Use a reservoir bag to achieve higher oxygen concentrations(up to 80%).
Flow ratesaregenerallyatleast8–15L/min.A one-wayvalvepreventsexhaled gasesfromentering thereservoirbag,maximizingtheFIO2thatisinspired.
Heatedhumidifiedhigh-flownasalcannula(HFNC):Deliversheatedandhumidifiedoxygenathigh flows andconcentrationssuch thatit flushes outa significant amount of nonoxygenated air from the upper airway. The system can be titrated up to 60 L/min and 100% FIO2 and may provide a small
amountofPEEPathighflowrates.
TheuseofHFNCdeviceshasincreasedrecentlywithsomestudiesshowingencouragingbenefits.In one open-label trial, patients with hypoxemic non-hypercapnic respiratory failure were randomly assigned to HFNC versus standard oxygen therapy or noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV). Intubation rates were similar between groups; however, there was a significant improvement in 90-day mortality in patients who received HFNC as compared with other modalities.
2
In a meta-analysisofninetrialscomparingHFNCtolow-flow oxygeninpatientswithhypoxemic respiratoryfailure,HFNCdecreasedtheneedforbothintubationandescalationofoxygentherapy.
3
TheroleofHFNCfollowingextubationisdiscussedin“MechanicalVentilation.” NPPV:Deliversrespiratorysupportwithpositiveairwaypressureviaasealedfacemask,nasalmask, or helmet device. NPPV most commonlyrefers to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation. NPPV can be delivered by home devices or ventilators.
CPAP:Delivers continuouspositive airwaypressurethroughouttherespiratorycycleandprevents
alveolarcollapseduringexpiration.CPAPisoftenusedinthetreatmentofobstructivesleepapnea
andpulmonaryedema.Initially,5cmH2Oofpressureshouldbeapplied,andifhypoxemiapersists,
thelevelshouldbeincreasedby3–5cmH2Ouptoalevelof10–15cmH2O.
BiPAP: Delivers two different airwaypressures during inspirationandexpiration to decrease the
work of breathing. BiPAP is often used for COPD exacerbations, weaning, and neuromuscular
weakness.Aninspiratorypressuresupportof5–10cmH2Oandanexpiratorypressureof5cmH2O
are reasonablestarting points.Ventilationis determinedbythedifference betweeninspiratoryand
https://t.me/med1917
expiratorypressures(i.e.,“drivepressure”),andinspiratory pressurescanbeuptitratedtoachieve
adequatetidalvolumesandminuteventilation.
BenefitsofNPPV: NPPV decreases theneed formechanical ventilation in appropriately selected
patients.4 The benefits of NPPV are particularly strong in patients with neuromuscular disease,
COPD, pulmonary edema, andpostoperative respiratoryinsufficiency.5 A 2016 single-center trial
foundthatNPPVdeliveredviaatransparenthelmetdevicecoveringtheentireheadreducedtheneed
forintubationandimprovedsurvivalinpatientswithARDS.

There has been conflicting evidence over the years regarding the use of NPPV in severe acute
exacerbations ofasthma. A recent retrospective analysis of>50,000 patientsfoundthat theuseof
NPPVwasassociatedwithloweroddsofreceivinginvasivemechanicalventilationandin-hospital
mortality.

Potential harms of NPPV: NPPV is generally safe but can cause skin damage, eye irritation,
claustrophobia, and aerophagia and can be difficult to tolerate for some patients. Use should be
limited to patients who are conscious, cooperative, able to protect their airway, and
hemodynamicallystable.8NPPVuseshouldbelimitedtothosewithananticipatedshortduration
ofrespiratoryfailure.Closemonitoringisrequiredduringitsuse.
AirwayManagementandEndotrachealIntubation
GENERALPRINCIPLES
AirwayManagementBeforeIntubation
Headandjawpositioning:First,theoropharynxshouldbeinspected,andallforeignbodiesshouldbe removed.Ifthepatientis unresponsive,theheadtilt–chinliftmaneuvershould be performed.If neck immobilizationisrequired,jawthrustshouldbeperformed. Oralandnasopharyngealairways:Airwayadjunctdevicescanbeusedtomaintainapatentairway. Initiallyinsertedwiththeconcavecurveoftheairwayfacing toward theroofofthe mouth.Theoral airwaythenisturned180degreesasitisinsertedsothattheconcavecurveoftheairwayfollowsthe natural curve of the tongue.Careful monitoring ofairwaypatency isrequired, as malpositioningcan pushthetongueposteriorlyandresultinoropharyngealobstruction.Nasopharyngealairwaysaremade ofsoftplasticandpassedeasilydownoneofthenasalpassagestotheposteriorpharynxaftertopical nasallubricationandanesthesiawithviscouslidocainejelly. Bag-valve-maskventilation:Ineffectiverespiratoryeffortscanbeaugmentedwithsimplebag-valve­maskventilation.Properfittingandpositioningofthemaskusingthe“EC”handposition—thumband index fingerforming a “C”around themask,andthe remainingfingersformingan“E” tosupportthe jaw—ensureatightsealaroundthemouthandnose.Thismaneuvershouldbeusedinconjunctionwith properpositioningandairwayadjuncts(e.g.,anoralairway).Ifpossible,twohandsshouldbeusedto optimizeseal whileasecondclinicianventilates thepatient.Bag-valve-maskventilationisacritical skillinairwaymanagementandisfrequentlyincorrectlyperformed. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA): The LMA is a supraglottic airway device shaped like an endotracheal tubeconnected to an elliptical mask.It is designed to be insertedover the tongue and seatedinthehypopharynx,coveringthesupraglotticstructuresandrelativelyisolatingthetrachea.Itis atemporaryairwayandshouldnotbeusedforprolongedventilatorysupport.LMAscanbelifesaving inestablishinganairwaywhenendotrachealintubationcannotbeeasilyachieved.

EndotrachealIntubation
Indications: Refractory hypoxemic respiratory failure, hypercapnic respiratory failure, airway protection(e.g.,intoxication,headtrauma,severeupperGIbleedingwithhematemesis),upperairway obstruction (e.g., angioedema, tumor), severe metabolic acidosis or shock (e.g., type 4 respiratory failure, severe diabetic ketoacidosis), and need for hyperventilation as a treatment for increased intracranialpressure. Beforeendotrachealtubeintubationisattempted:
Ensure that monitoring equipment is working (including pulse oximetry, telemetry, and blood
pressuremonitoring)andthatthepatienthasadequateworkingintravenous(IV)access.
Ensure that all necessary equipment is at the bedside including working suction equipment,
endotrachealtube(withstylet,lubricant,andballoontested),10mLsyringetofillendotrachealtube
balloon, oral or nasopharyngeal airway, bag-valve-mask connected to15 L/minoxygen,direct or
video laryngoscope, end-tidal CO2 monitor, medications for intubation, and tape or endotracheal
holder.
Have the plan articulated and the equipment at the bedside (e.g., tracheal tube introducer and
supraglotticdevice)incaseofadifficultairway.
Evaluateheadandneckpositioning:Oral,pharyngeal,andtrachealaxesshouldbealignedbyflexing
the neck and extending the head, achieving the “sniffing” position. Obese patients may require a
shoulderrollorramp.
Theselectedagentsforintubationincludingneuromuscularblockingagents,opiates,andanxiolytics
should be chosen based on their respective advantages and disadvantages in the given clinical
situation.CommonlyusedagentsforintubationarelistedinTable8-2.
