Abstract

The use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) in patients with influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 admitted to intensive care units (ICU) has been controversial.

Highlights

The use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) in patients with influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 admitted to intensive care units (ICU) has been controversial
Our objective was to assess the incidence of failure in NIV in this group of patients and their impact on ICU mortality rate
The failure of NIV (OR=10.2, 95%IC 5.28-19.76, p = 0.000), the APACHEII (OR=1,05, 95%IC 1.02-1.09, p = 0.004), acute renal failure (OR=2.48, 95% IC 1.52-4.05, p = 0.000) and immunodeficiency (OR=5.66, 95%IC 3.02-10.60, p = 0.000) were independently variables associated with mortality in the multivariate analysis
