Multicenter Study Observational StudyDelirium incidence and risk factors in patients undergoing non-invasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure: a multicenter observational trial.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) still has high failure rate when used for de novo acute respiratory failure (ARF). Delirium may impact the outcome, however data regarding its incidence, timing of occurrence and clinical predictors in this subset of patients are scarce. ⋯ Delirium onset in acute hypoxic patients undergoing NIV is frequent and negatively affects the outcome. Multiple related clinical factors should be addressed early on admission to prevent the delirium-related risk of NIV failure in these patients.
