Introduction Why Intensive Care Unit Polyclinic? • Home-vent patients control • Requirment of monitorization • It takes time
Aim To evaluate the difficulties of patients with home-vent during follow-up period and a special polyclinic which was organised for these kind of patients.
ICU Polyclinic ICU polyclinic • Establishment day: 25th Agust 2005 • Work hours: 13.30 - 16.00 • Working style: appointment • Staff: 1 ICU physcian, 1 ICU nurse • Equipments: Monitor, aspirator, oxygen consantrator, medical other equipments
ICU Polyclinic • Patients discharged from ICU: • Patients with home-vent: • Patients consultated for home-vent:
Optimum medical treatment (bronchodilators±steroid, O2) with symptomatic patients PaCO2>55 mm Hg or PaCO2= 50-54 mm Hg and nocturnal desaturation (SaO2< 88% with 2L/min O2 -5 minutes- or 10% of whole monitorization) PCO2=50-54 mm Hg and >2 hospitalization due to acute hypercapnic respiratory failure in a year Diseases Chronic bronchitis Emphsema Bronchiectasis (TB) Cysistic Fibrosis Chronic Obstructive Lung DiseasesHome-vent Indications Hill N. Concensus report. Chest 1999:116:521-34
Major Diseases Chest wall diseases Kyphoscolyosis ALS, myopathy Neuromuscular diseases (DMD) Polio sequela Sypmtomatic patients: fatique, morning headache , dyspnea Objective findings: 1) PaCO2>45 mm Hg in daytime 2) Observation of nocturnal desaturation (SaO2 < 88% in 5 min) 3) Neuromuscular Diseases: FVC <%50 or MIP > - 60cmH2O Restrictive Lung Diseases: Home-vent Indications Patrick Leger. Consensus Conference Report, Chest 1999;116:521-534
Nocturnal Hypoventilation Syndroms:Home-vent Indications Diseases • Sleep Apnea • Obesite Hypoventilation • Endocrine abnormalities • Diagnose of diseases • Unresponsive sleep apnea with CPAP observed by PSG • Nocturnal hypoventilation • Santral sleep apnea Criner G. Concensus report. Chest 1999:116:521-34
Methods Patients: Patients in the ICU polyclinic, 1) discharged from ICU 2) consultating for home-vent, 3) patients with home-vent,
Results 1288 admissions, • Patients controlled after ICU discharged : 187 • Patients evaluated for home-vent: 93 • Patients with home-vent: 215
Results 93 patients were consultated for HMV oxygen consantrator prescribed for 24 (%26) pts HMV prescribed for 33 (% 35) pts follow-up pts 36 (%39) pts 1 patient was given HMV 14 months later
Home-vent Follow-up patients 2 DMD and MM 9 ALS 9 OHS 18 kyphoscoliosis 74 COPD
Number of home-vent prescriptions according to the years COPD Kyphoscoliosis ALS after ICU polyclinic
Results • Evaluation and prescription of home-vent, and follow-up these patients in a special polyclinic may prevent inadequate or over indication of long term home-vent. • These kind of polyclinics can be most useful for the patients with severe COPD or ALS leading to respiratory failure.
