Purpose The aim of the present analysis was to evaluate the feasibility of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and ADHF, during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Consecutive patients admitted for MI, receiving CPAP for ADHF in the cath lab during PCI were retrospectively included. The main study outcome was the feasibility of CPAP, intended as well tolerated by the patient and exclusive cardiology staff management. Results Between December 2018 and October 2020, 15 patients were included; median age was 79 (40-87 IQR) years, 8 (53%) were males, 9 (60%) presented with STEMI and 10 (67%) in cardiogenic shock. At admission median ejection fraction was 35 (20-60 IQR) % and 6 (40%) patients had severe mitral regurgitation. Mean PaO2/ FiO2 was 188.1 ± 74.9 mmHg/%, mean lactate level was 2.6 ± 1.5 mmol/L and NTproBNP 7882 (3139-35000 IQR) ng/L. The CPAP was set with a median FiO2 of 50 (35-80 IQR) % with a PEEP of 7.5 (5-10 IQR) mmHg. CPAP was feasible in 14 (93%) patients, as in only one case it was interrupted for patient’s intolerance. CPAP was always managed by nurses of the cath lab, without the support of anesthetist. One patient suffered cardiac arrest that led to CPAP interruption for resuscitation maneuvers. No patients underwent intubation in the cath lab. Post-procedural PaO2/FiO2 ratio substantially improved to 259.4 ± 96.9 mmHg/% (p = 0.03) and lactate decreased to 1.5 ± 0.5 mmol/L (p = 0.01, 42% median reduction). One patient died in-hospital due to underlying disease, unrelated to study procedure. Conclusion CPAP during PCI in patients with MI and ADHF was feasible, well tolerated and easily manageable. Larger studies are warranted to confirm these results.
