Critical Care Patients Experience of Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)Andrew DimechCNS Cancer Critical Care
The Royal Marsden3
Rationale
– The patient experience of health care and health care provision recently become more widely researched.
– Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a common treatment modality for acute respiratory failure.
The Royal Marsden4
Rationale
– Historically a tight fitting mask is used to provide respiratory support.
– Risks to the patient including facial pressure areas, pain and discomfort.
The Royal Marsden5
Rationale
– The Helmet CPAP is a new product that provides the same treatment with a different method of delivery.
– Effectiveness between the two approaches is
comparable although there is no evidence to date explaining patient perception of the new Helmet modality.
The Royal Marsden6
Aim
– To explore critical care patient’s experience of Helmet CPAP.
The Royal Marsden7
Helmet CPAP
– High flow oxygen / air mix
– Increased pressure to keep alveoli open (Positive End Expiratory Pressure - PEEP)
The Royal Marsden8
Literature Themes`
CPAP Helmet
Healthy Volunteers- Helmet versus Face Mask- Physiological Effects- Carbon Dioxide Retention / Washout- Noise Exposure
Acutely Unwell- Helmet versus Face Mask in Hypoxemic Acute Respiratory Failure- Helmet versus Face Mask in Immunocompromised
Chronic Conditions (Facial CPAP)- Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
The Royal Marsden9
Research Design
– Qualitative approach – Descriptive phenomenological methodology.– Interviews with cues provided the platform for
data generation and collection– A thematic framework was utilised with
emergent themes manually analysed– A constant comparative technique used to
express the experiences or phenomena of a particular event or experiences.

Sample
– The study included six patients – All developed acute respiratory failure upon
admission or during their inpatient stay in a critical care unit
– All the patients have been treated with Helmet CPAP
– The patients were introduced to the research via the Critical Care Outreach Team (CCOT) utilising convenience sampling
The Royal Marsden12
Findings - Themes
– Entrapment– Confusion– Helping me breathe– Liberation– Challenges– Apprehension– Relief– Trust– Endurance
The Royal Marsden13
Entrapment
– The overwhelming feeling of entrapment was expressed by patient F with feelings of being locked in somewhere (F31)……, restricted (F45) and there was no escape (F32).
The Royal Marsden14
Helping me breathe
– It was easier than…..easier than the mask (B36). Compared to this mask that (Helmet CPAP) regulates the oxygen very well. It’s a……in terms of ah…… other than you’re all tied up and so on……because its part of the ready flow of oxygen its much easier to breath rather than leaking here……leaking there and so on (B59).
The Royal Marsden15
Liberation
– Patient D found that he had a reasonable amount of freedom which made his experience more bearable. It wasn’t noisy like nebulisers and ah you were able to speak to people whilst you had it on…… you know it really gives you a great deal of freedom in that point of view you know and I thought that was ah quite outstanding (D35).
The Royal Marsden16
Findings
– The overall experience was unique to each patient.
– The patients entrusted the healthcare team which made the experience more tolerable.
– Paradoxical themes were experienced during treatment.
The Royal Marsden17
Findings
• Placing Helmet ‘out of sight’ during rest periods
• Further staff education regarding duration, set up etc
• No mention of cancer
• The desire to survive the acute illness proved to be a driving factor.
The Royal Marsden18
Conclusion
– The study has provided an insight into the patient’s experience of Helmet CPAP in the critical care setting.
– The findings have provided a basis for policy and guideline development.
– It will also assist in developing future patient focused care.

What is ARDS?
1st described by Ashbaugh in the 1960’s He described 12 adult patients with similar
respiratory problems. Syndrome can occur in children and adults It is the most severe form of acute lung injury High mortality rate No real definition of syndrome until 1994
American-European Consensus Conference Committee
Recognises severity of the injury Simple definition Recognises that ALI is a precursor to ARDS
Acute Onset Bilateral Infiltrates on CXR PAWP <18mmHg (if no PAC, then there should be
no clinical evidence of LVF) PaO2 : FiO2 Ratio (P/F Ratio) < 26.7kpa If P/F Ratio < 40kpa, ALI is considered
Pathophysiology
Systemic or pulmonary inflammatory response Release of cytokines and other inflammatory
molecules Alveolar macrophages activated Neutrophils recruited to the lungs Oxidents, Leukotrienes and proteases released
which damage capillary and alveolar epithelium
Pathophysiology
Barriers between capillaries and air spaces are damaged
Oedema fluid, protein and cellular debris flood the air spaces and interstitium
Reduced surfactant produced Airspace collapse Ventilation/perfusion mismatch
Causes of ALI/ARDS
Direct Lung Injury
Aspiration
Pneumonia
Lung contusion
Drowning
Embolism
Gas inhalation
Indirect Lung Injury
Sepsis
Trauma
Hypovolaemia
Burns
Overdose
Massive blood transfusion
Pancreatitis
Mortality Rate
Was as high as 40-60% Better ventilation strategies, now around 25-40% Death often caused by MOF and sepsis Variations in rates due to age, severity of disease
and presence of other factors
Management Options
Ventilatory strategies Proning Nitric oxide Steroids Fluid management Surfactants
Ventilatory Strategies Probable reason for decline in mortality rates ARDSnet guidelines 6ml per kg PBW tidal volume High level of PEEP High respiratory rate to maintain minute volume Plateau pressure management Permissive hypercapnoea Ph management
Oscillatory Ventilation
Gives sub dead space tidal volumes (1-3mls/kg) Higher levels of PEEP Reduce risk of alveolar collapse Due to high frequencies CO2 levels maintained Has often been used as a rescue therapy Widely used in treatment of neonates and pre-term
infants
Proning The big nugget Does it or doesn’t it work? Improves oxygenation, but not outcome 2006 study prolonged proning (20 hours) may reduce
mortality. Exact mechanism widely debated Theoretical benefit of redistribution of ventilation and
perfusion ………but
There can be Problems
Very labour intensive Risk of dislodging of ETT and lines Severe facial oedema ‘Ventilator eye’ Pressure ulceration Emergency treatment may be delayed
Steroids
In theory, anti-inflammatory, should work No benefit demonstrated Some studies have found increased complications
and mortality
Surfactant
Introduced via bronchoscopy or inhalation No evidence of long term benefit
Nitric Oxide
Acts as a selective pulmonary vasodilator Binds to haemoglobin Should increase perfusion of better ventilated areas No large studies to support wide use
Fluid Managaement
FACTT Trial suggests conservative approach to fluids
ARDSnet, reducing EVLW, oxygenation improves, but no increase in long term mortality

Delirium Management - a Multidisciplinary Education Issue
Marion L. Mitchell, L. Aitken & J. AbbeyGriffith University: Research Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation & Princess Alexandra Hospital, Australia.
41School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Overview • What is known about delirium in ICU patients• Why it is a problem• What assessment tools are available• The importance of multidisciplinary education • How can screening be effectively introduced or
compliance rates improved• Where to from here
42School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Background – is Delirium a problem in ICU?• 92% of patients survive a critical illness (Bagshaw et al.,
2009)
• Up to 2 years after discharge, psychological morbidity & neurocognitive compromise are reported in >50% of ICU patients (Herridge et al., 2003)
• Delirium has been found in 4 studies to be a predictor of cognitive impairment in non-ICU patients (Jackson et al., 2004)
• Rates of delirium in ICU patients vary from 11% to 87% of patients (Girard et al., 2008; Shehabi et al., 2008)
43School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
ICU staff’s views on Delirium
• 92% of Health Care Professionals (n=912) considered delirium to be a very serious problem in ICU (Ely et al., 2004)
• 86% consider delirium is under diagnosed in ICU (Patel et al., 2009)
• Is there a link between delirium in ICU & long term patient outcomes?
44School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Impact of Delirium on Patients• Ely & colleagues (2009) found delirium to be an
independent predictor of mortality at 6 months post discharge (n=275)
• More recently, Girard et al. (2010) found delirium affected cognitive impairment at 3 & 12 months post discharge • This study found an association between duration (in
days) of delirium and poor cognitive function when all other variables were controlled.
45School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Why worry about Delirium?
• It is not ‘nice’ for the patient, their family & the staff
• Higher mortality (Ely et al., 2004)
• Prolonged duration of ICU stay (Ely et al., 2001)
• Prolonged hospital stay (Thomason et al., 2005)
• Greater health care costs (Milbrandt et al., 2004)
• Long-term cognitive impairment (Girard, 2010).
46School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Pre-disposing Factors:• Inadequate pain relief• Hypoxaemia• Acidosis• Severe infection• Advanced age• Immobilisation
• Frustration • Patient/ventilator desynchrony• Drug interaction• Metabolic & haemodynamic
instability • Drug side effects
(Borthwick et al., 2006)
47School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Types of Delirium
1. Hyperactive – characterised by agitation, restlessness, emotionally labile
These behaviours are outwardly obvious & therefore more easily recognised
2. Hypoactive – withdrawal, decreased responsiveness, apathy, misdiagnosed as depressed
These behaviours are less obvious & therefore more difficult or not recognised
3. Mixed – combination of 1) & 2)

CAM - ICUTwo step process:
1. Initial assessment of level of sedation using Richmond Agitation- Sedation Scale (RASS). If score is between -3 (moderate sedation) & +4, go to Step 2
2. Assess for acute onset of mental status changes, inattention, altered level of consciousness & disorganised thinking using CAM-ICU

Pre-disposing factors:• Inadequate pain relief• Hypoxaemia• Acidosis• Severe infection• Advanced age• Immobilisation
• Frustration • Patient/ventilator desynchrony• Drug interaction• Metabolic & haemodynamic
instability • Drug side effects
(Borthwick et al., 2006)
51School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Who needs to know about Delirium?• Multidisciplinary team approach
• Screening is one thing, acting on assessment is another
• Medical team input with understanding of problem & acknowledgement of short & long-term adverse patient outcomes (i.e. attitudes & beliefs)
• Nurses are at bed-side, so probably best placed to screen for delirium – but not in isolation….
52School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
How can Delirium Screening be effectively introduced/improved in our ICU?
• Planned approach to introduction of screening• All team members need shared understanding &
acknowledgement that delirium is problematic for our patients.
• Once screened, shared understanding of possible actions to take is very important.
53School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Strategies to improve Delirium Screening• Any new program needs champions• Need written policies & procedures• Clear instructions on how to record results• Easy access to tool – one at each bed-side/flow sheet• Planned systematic EDUCATION of medical &
nursing staff prior to its introduction
(Devlin et al., 2007)
54School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Strategies to improve Delirium Screening• Incorporate delirium screening results into all ‘rounds’• Continuous quality monitoring to evaluate compliance
with the protocol• Page et al. (2009) in UK unit – 92% compliance using
CAM-ICU• Pun et al. (2005) – in USA - [n=10,037 assessments] –
87% compliance using CAM-ICU
55School of Nursing and MidwiferyResearch Centre for Clinical and Community Practice Innovation
Conclusions
Delirium is a widespread problem in ICU that has not universally been appropriately recognised or treated
There are reliable, valid & feasible tools available
Planned education of multidisciplinary team essential
Care options need to vary depending on outcome of screening
Long term outcomes of ICU care need to be a focus for future research
