AIMS • To illustrate through which mechanisms sleep respiratory disorders may lead to CO2
retention. • To describe clinical features of patients with sleep respiratory disorders and severe respiratory
failure, and pathogenetic mechanisms that may lead to acute blood gas deterioration in these patients.
SUMMARY Respiratory disorders during sleep cause transient alterations of oxygen and CO2 tensions. Usually, such alterations have the same duration as each respiratory event. However, some subjects may develop chronic respiratory failure with diurnal hypercapnia after long-term recurrence of sleep respiratory disorders. Severe, life-threatening, respiratory failure may occasionally appear as an effect of precipitating factors, particularly in predisposed subjects [1]. In patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) inadequate ventilatory compensation to CO2 loading after apnoeas, with incomplete recovery of blood gases, can be the first step for the development of diurnal hypercapnia. Ability to generate a high minute ventilation immediately after apnoeas, and duration of interapnoeic periods, concur to the effectiveness of the interapnoeic ventilation. Ventilation between apnoeas may be insufficient in subjects with depressed ventilatory drive, with respiratory mechanical limitations (most often due to coexisting morbid obesity or lower airway obstruction), or with a poor arousability and a consequent short duration of the interapnoeic interval [2]. Prolonged exposure to hypoxia may reduce arousability and could contribute to make interapnoeic ventilation insufficient [3]. Chronically decreased CO2 unloading after sleep apnoeas is believed to buffer cerebrospinal fluid, making central chemoreceptors less responsive to CO2. Chronic CO2 retention may ensue, particularly if kidneys eliminate insufficient amounts of bicarbonates. Similarly to patients with OSA, patients with diseases associated with sleep hypoventilation may develop hypercapnic respiratory failure as an effect of chronic exposure to increased CO2 during sleep. Nocturnal mechanical ventilation, that prevents CO2 rise during sleep and increases ventilatory responsiveness to CO2, helps to relieve diurnal respiratory failure or may delay its onset [4]. Some effect of OSA in decreasing diurnal PaO2 has also been pointed out, which could depend on alterations of mechanical properties of the lung due to recurrence of obstructive apnoeas [5]. Severe respiratory complications have been more rarely described in patients with sleep respiratory disorders.

The association of COPD with OSA (“overlap syndrome”) makes not only chronic, but also acute life-threatening respiratory failure more likely to occur [6]. In patients with the overlap syndrome, untreated OSA is associated with a higher rate of exacerbations and a higher mortality than in patients with COPD but without OSA [7,8]. Probably, increased risk of infections and pneumonia in the OSA population could enhance exacerbations in the overlap patients [9]. Besides, among patients hospitalised with pneumonia, those who are also affected by OSA more often require transfer to intensive care unit (ICU) and invasive mechanical ventilation [10]. Alcohol abuse, inappropriate oxygen administration, or drugs with depressant respiratory effects may be other causes of severe respiratory failure in OSA patients [11]. A higher incidence of adverse effects with the use of such drugs may be observed in OSA patients than in the general population. Drugs administration, and in particular opioids, may partly explain the high rate of unplanned ICU transfers, respiratory failure and intubations after surgical procedures in patients with OSA [12,13]. Besides, they could importantly contribute to acute blood gas deterioration and sudden death in patients with OSA and psychiatric disorders [14]. Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is associated with sleep respiratory disorders. In its most severe form, OHS is recognised in patients hospitalised in ICU for cardiorespiratory failure. If left untreated, OHS is associated with increased mortality, often due to respiratory failure [15]. Recently, a very severe form of OHS has been described, which has been called “Malignant Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome”, and is characterised by multiple comorbidities and a poor prognosis [16]. In conclusion, sleep-disordered breathing may contribute to the establishment of chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure when it exposes to prolonged periods of hypercapnia. That often occurs in patients with chest wall diseases, or in patients with OSA who are morbidly obese or have coexistent COPD. In such patients respiratory failure may be exacerbated by events like respiratory infections or inappropriate drug administration. Major surgical procedures may put OSA patients at high risk of acute respiratory complications, particularly when opioids are administered. REFERENCES 1. Carr GE et al.

Seventy patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) who had survived an episode of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) were prospectively followed for 3 years. Their lung function was worse than in control subjects with SAS but without AHRF, due to either obesity or COPD, but better than in control subjects with COPD but without SAS admitted for AHRF. Alcohol and benzodiazepines consumption, PaO2 and %predicted forced vital capacity measured after the AHRF episode were found independent predictors of AHRF in the SAS patients. Treatment of sleep respiratory disorders resulted in a decrease in hospital admissions in the group with SAS and AHRF; nevertheless, this group of patients had a higher mortality in the three-year period, mainly due to respiratory causes, than the SAS patients who had not experienced AHRF.

Among the most common comorbidities, obstructive sleep apnoea, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, right and left ventricular failure, non alcoholic steatohepatitis are observed. Patients with MOHS have frequent hospitalisations, often to ICU for progressive type II respiratory failure, with difficult discharge and a high mortality, and are often mistaken for COPD before hospitalisation.

Does acute respiratory failure affect sleep?

AIMS • To outline factors associated with acute respiratory failure that can adversely affect sleep. • To discuss changes in sleep quality and continuity in patient requiring mechanical ventilation
and ICU management and for acute respiratory failure. • To review the potential impact of sleep loss on patient outcome. SUMMARY Acute respiratory failure (ARF) causes changes in breathing pattern, gas exchange and work of breathing all of which have the potential to alter sleep quality. Sleep loss or fragmentation are associated with a range of adverse clinical consequences including fatigue, neurocognitive impairment, reduced immune function and altered respiratory function. These effects have potential implications for weaning and recovery from acute illness in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). A number of studies have explored the effect of critical illness and mechanical ventilation on sleep quality and quantity. However, separating the impact ARF directly has on sleep quality from the various interventions and therapies used to manage the presenting medical problem is more challenging. Respiratory disease and sleep quality Many patients with chronic respiratory disease have poor quality sleep and sleep disordered breathing when clinically stable, both of which can worsen considerably during an acute exacerbation. Many features of acute respiratory failure including dyspnea, gas exchange abnormalities, altered pulmonary mechanics, increased sputum load and high work of breathing have the potential to worsen already suboptimal sleep quality. In stable patients with moderate to severe COPD, impaired nocturnal sleep quality appears to be related to dyspnea severity [1], which would likely worsen during acute illness. Increased work of breathing associated with air trapping or increased sputum load could induce more fragmented sleep from respiratory effort-related arousals [2]. Although hypoxia is a poor arousal stimulus [3], hypercapnia alone may induce arousal from sleep [4]. Sleep and the Intensive care environment Patients managed in intensive care units (ICU) display marked alterations in sleep quality and continuity, with a predominance of wakefulness and light sleep (N1 &N2 sleep), and a relative lack of rapid eye movement (REM) and slow wave sleep (N3) [5-7]. These changes in sleep macrostructure have been reported in both ventilated and non-ventilated patients [5,6,8]. Although the total number of hours of sleep recorded over a 24-hour period may be within the normal range, the sleep/wake cycle is often severely disrupted with nearly 50% of sleep occurring during daytime periods [5,7,8]. Significant sleep fragmentation is also present, with an increased number of arousals and awakenings. These objective findings are supported by patients themselves who perceive their sleep in ICU poor, and report sleep deprivation as an important cause of stress and anxiety for them [9,10].
40
Restricted or disturbed sleep in patients with acute respiratory illness has significant clinical implications. Sleepiness and cognitive impairment in ambulatory individuals is related to sleep fragmentation, and this may be a contributor to the cognitive decline seen in patients following ICU admission [11]. Delirium is also very common amongst patients managed in ICU and thought by many to be related to sleep deprivation, although these links are not yet firmly established. In patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure, delirium is associated with greater circadian sleep-cycle disturbance and less time spent in REM sleep [12]. Weaning from ventilatory support and recovery of respiratory function to baseline levels may also be hampered by sleep loss and fragmentation. Even in healthy subjects, sleep loss has been shown to impair inspiratory muscle endurance [13], spirometry [14] and ventilatory responsiveness to hypercapnia [15,16]. While similar data from patients with acute respiratory failure is unavailable, it would be reasonable to assume that the impact of sleep loss on respiratory function would have at least the same if not a greater impact on those with significantly reduced respiratory reserve. So what is the cause of this sleep disruption? Noise, artificial light and patient care activities were originally believed to be the main factors responsible. However, it now appears that these activities account for only 30% of the arousals and awakenings recorded in intubated patients [7]. Other factors such as pain, discomfort and the severity of the acute illness would also contribute to some of the abnormality seen. More recently, attention has turned to the role mechanical ventilation may play in disrupting sleep, with ventilator mode, settings and patient-ventilator interactions considered to be significant sources of sleep fragmentation. A number of studies have investigated the association between sleep quality and ventilator mode. Several studies have suggested that arousals and awakenings from sleep are higher during pressure support ventilation (PSV) compared to assist control ventilation (ACV) [17, 18]. In contrast, Carbello et al [19] found no difference in sleep duration, sleep architecture or fragmentation index between ACV, clinically-adjusted PSV and an automatically- adjusted PSV, a mode which provides a continuous adaptation of the pressure support level to meet pre-determined ventilation targets based on patient comfort. The results of these studies highlight the importance of producing central events by overventilation as a cause of sleep disruption, especially in patients vulnerable to respiratory instability such as those with heart failure. Poor patient-ventilator interaction has also been identified as a potential source of sleep disruption. In a study comparing PSV to proportional assist ventilation (PAV), a mode designed to adjust flow and volume based on respiratory resistance, elastance, and inspiratory effort, the latter produced fewer asynchronies and better quality sleep in a group of invasively ventilated patients [20]. These findings support the notion that correctly adjusting ventilator settings to avoid hypocapnia or ineffective efforts may be more important in ameliorating sleep fragmentation and improving sleep quality than simply the mode of ventilation used [19,21]. Sleep quality during weaning from ventilation A small amount of data regarding sleep quality during weaning from ventilation is available. Andrejak and colleagues [22] studied 26 patients with COPD and acute on chronic respiratory failure ready for extubation. In a cross over study design, patients were randomised to low PSV (6cmH2O) or pressure control ventilation with inspiratory support pressure and back up rate set to achieve suppression of the respiratory muscles. The study was conducted over a single night, with 4-hrs of recording during each mode. Sleep efficiency was found to be significantly better during PCV, as were the amount of SWS and REM sleep achieved. The authors proposed that the improvements seen may have arisen from respiratory muscle rest with PCV. They speculated that using PCV at night to promote restorative sleep prior to extubation could improve clinical outcomes. Unfortunately, the study was not designed to evaluate the impact of such a strategy on morbidity. In order to assess the impact of ventilation on sleep in patients recovering from acute respiratory failure, Fanfulla and colleagues [23] monitored the 24-hour sleep pattern of patients admitted to a
41
sleep down unit. Thirty eight per cent of patients were post-operative, while patients with COPD or restrictive thoracic disorders made up another 38% of the study population. Eleven patients were breathing spontaneously while the remaining 10 still required mechanical ventilation via tracheostomy either continuously (9) or nocturnally (1). Several interesting observations were made. Firstly, sleep variables were similar between mechanically ventilated patients and those who were spontaneously breathing, suggesting that mechanical ventilation was not a major cause of sleep disruption in this population. These findings are similar to another study of tracheostomised patients during recovery from acute respiratory failure and prolonged mechanical ventilation [21]. Secondly, overall sleep quality and quantity was better than that reported in more acutely unwell patients managed in ICU. However, significant abnormalities in sleep architecture were still present in a substantial proportion of patients and were associated with clinical severity and alkalosis. Thirdly, two distinct patterns of sleep were seen. The “long sleepers” had sleep predominantly during the daytime. A positive correlation between sleep quantity and the patient’s clinical status was found, such that patients with a higher clinical severity score slept for longer during the day. The authors suggested this may have reflected sleep recovery in patients moved to a less “intensive” care setting. The other group maintained a more normal wake/sleep cycle but had a highly fragmented sleep pattern. These poor sleepers were characterised by a high pH value, although the mechanism accounting for this association was not readily apparent. Unfortunately, as this was cross-sectional data, no information regarding the evolution of sleep recovery or impact on clinical outcomes was available. Sleep quality and non-invasive ventilation Compared to the data evaluating sleep quality in patients with acute respiratory failure requiring invasive ventilation, fewer studies have looked at the impact of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) on sleep parameters in the acute setting. Ozsancak et al [24] monitored four patients using NIV in the ICU over 24-hr with PSG. As seen in invasively ventilated patients, these patients also demonstrated very fragmented sleep with little or no REM sleep. However, whether this was related to factors associated with acute respiratory failure or failure to provide adequate ventilatory support was not established. In patients with stable chronic respiratory failure, the method of titrating settings for NIV can significantly alter sleep architecture and induce sleep fragmentation [25,26]. In a more recent study, 24 patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure using NIV underwent continuous PSG monitoring over a 17-hr period in a medical ICU [27]. Although the total sleep time was similar to that previously reported in invasively ventilated patients (around 6 hrs), the amount of SWS and REM sleep recorded was significantly greater at a median of 30 [Interquartile range: 17-46]% and 11 [5.7-17]%, respectively. In addition, sleep quality during NIV was also significantly better than during unassisted spontaneous breathing, with more SWS and REM sleep and less fragmentation. Sleep quality is an important predictor of NIV outcome [12], with marked sleep disturbance in the presence of an abnormal EEG pattern, a disrupted circadian sleep cycle and reduced REM sleep all associated with NIV failure and delirium [21]. However, the direction of this relationship is still unclear. Sleep quality and its impact on acute respiratory failure Not only will the physiological changes in breathing during acute respiratory failure place the vulnerable patient at risk of sleep loss and fragmentation, sleep deprivation in conjunction with normal sleep physiology may exacerbate respiratory failure, potentially worsening outcomes. A reduction in respiratory muscle endurance and lung function has shown to occur even with short periods of sleep loss in healthy subjects [13,15], with potential implications for patients with chronic respiratory disease recovering from an acute illness or weaning from mechanical ventilation. Reduction in ventilatory chemosensitivity from sleep deprivation [15,16] would be an additional factor contributing to worsening ventilation and gas exchange in acute illness. The upper airway becomes more unstable with sleep deprivation [28], and in some patients acute respiratory failure may develop as a consequence of sleep disordered breathing alone [30].

Appreciating the role acute respiratory failure plays in worsening sleep quality and the implications of altered sleep duration and quality on respiratory function and recovery is important if we are to develop strategies that make a significant difference to clinical outcomes in vulnerable individuals presenting with acute respiratory failure.

Prevention and treatment of sleep disturbances in acute respiratory failure: the role of drugs
Dr Cesare Gregoretti
Ospedale Maria Adelaide Lungo Dora Firenze, 87
10153 Turin Italy
[email protected] SUMMARY Many studies conducted over the last years have shown sleep disturbances in critical care area. Patients in the critical care environment experience severe sleep alterations including reductions in sleep stages, marked sleep fragmentation, circadian rhythm disorganization, and daytime sleepiness. Among the numerous sources of these sleep alteration there are both endogenous factors such as patient’s underlying disease severity and exogenous factors such as medications (sedatives, analgesics& other drugs). Prevention of sleep disturbances may include several interventions including use of sleep-promoting pharmacologic agent and minimizing use of pharmacologic agents inhibiting sleep. ICU medications may affect sleep architecture generating sleep disturbances even for 6–12 months after ICU discharge. Opioids Pain disrupts sleep. Although opioids, are considered a mainstay for postoperative and ICU pain they are often mistakenly considered inducers of physiological sleep. Opiods suppress REM and slow waves sleep (SWS) stage. Opioids inhibit sleep, mediated by the mu receptor, at doses of >10 mg/h/d (morphine equivalent) especially SWS and REM sleep without affecting the circadian pacemaker distribution of REM sleep. Withdrawal of REM stage may be associated with high percentage of REM sleep rebound. If opioids are titrated and withdrawn gradually the likelihood of REM rebound should theoretically be less important However taking a message from studies performed outside the ICU pain relief may counterbalance negative effects on sleep disorders. Sedatives Sedation and sleep share similarities: a reversible decrease in vigilance; a reduced metabolic rate and muscle hypotonia. In contrast to sedation, sleep is a spontaneous behavior that can be reversed by external stimuli; is organized in cycles of different depths; tarts and stops in response to endogenous mechanisms; is regulated by complex homeostatic and circadian factors. Benzodiazepine (BZD) and propofol interact with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor. Dexmedtomidine and clonidine interact with alpha-2 receptors in the locus ceruleus. BZD increase NREM sleep, cause a mild reduction of REM sleep but alter sleep architecture by severely decreasing SWS. BZD have also a delriogenic effect. However In patients whose anxiety might lead to significant sleep disruption, BDZ should be theoretically beneficial (i.e.single shot for night-time sleep) in association with a non-BZD hypnotic agent. Propofol seems not affecting REM sleep leading to a slow wave activity that mimics slow wave sleep. However its effect on REM stage are stiil contradictory. In sleep deprived patients low doses could restore night-sleep with “possible similar” sleep pathway However, propofol may have negative effects on circadian rhythm because circadian variations in core body temperature exert a powerful regulatory effect on sleep rhythms. Sedation with alpha-2 agonists A2A appear to act through the endogenous sleep-promoting pathways differently from that of GABAminergic agents. The locus ceruleus (LC), a modulator of
80
wakefulness, has one of the highest concentrations of the A2A. The REM-suppressant activity of A2A seems to be dose dependent. A2A increases in percentage SWS, and stage II based on an increase in spindle activity. Dexmedetomidine should lead to a state with clinical features similar to natural sleep It seem having less delirioregic effect compared to BZD. Unfortunately, the theoretical advantages have not been demonstrated to improve patients’ perception of their sleep in the ICU Neuromuscular blocking agents There is a paucity of literature on this issue. There are not clear evidence on patients receiving NMBA and sedation on sleep disturbances. Sleep & Typical/Atypical Antipsychotics Haloperidol, has been associated with increased sleep efficiency and stage II sleep with a very small or none effect on SWS in healthy volunteers. Olanzapine and risperidone, are used in the ICU for their sedating effects. They increase total sleep time, sleep efficiency, and SWS in healthy volunteers and schizophrenic patients. Sleep & Sleep promoting agents Zolpidem and zopiclone belonging to Non-BZD hypnotic agents interact with the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor complex at domains close or allosterically coupled to BZD receptors. They little suppress REM sleep and have no effect on SWS. Other medications Inotropic agents, affect sleep quality through their effects on adrenergic receptors. Beta blockers, may cause insomnia and nightmares due to suppressed SWR and REM sleep. High-dose of corticosteroids therapy causes decreased SWS and REM sleep. H2-receptor antagonists and the proton pump inhibitors may cause insomnia. Quinolone antimicrobial agents seems to cause sleep disturbances. A receptor inhibition Tricyclic antidepressants and serotonin reuptake inhibitors prolong SWS and totally or partially abolish REM sleep. Nocturnal melatonin suppression in ICU patients can be influenced by numerous factors such as age, BZD, adrenergic compounds, beta-blockers, opiates, light exposure, sedation, mechanical ventilation and sepsis. There is currently insufficient evidence that exogenous melatonin is effective in preventing or treating postoperative delirium. Conclusions Sedatives and analgesics should be tailored to the perceived patient’s needs or objective scale assessment, according to their PK and PD with attention to the potential causes of sleep disruption. However there has never been a sedation algorithm studied specifically for its effects on sleep. Single dose BZD may favour sleep in anxious patients. Non intubated patients with difficulty sleeping may be able to sleep with the aid of a short-acting hypnotic such as zolpidem or typical/atypical antipsychotics. Propofol has interesting features but caution must be taken in spontaneous breathing patient due to risk of drug accumulation. Dexmedetomidine would also have interesting properties in both intubated and spontaneous patients but further studies are needed. Further investigation may help to elucidate any sedation/analgesia strategy with regard to its effects on sleep. REFERENCES 1. Parthasarathy S, Tobin MJ Sleep in the intensive care unit.

CLINICAL SCENARIO 1
Midazolam is increased night time at 0.03 mg/kg /h Why do not try to switch from midazolam to dexmedetomidine or use propofol
just night time (ie from 10 pm to 6 am) ? Why do not try to use night time zolpidem ?
CLINICAL SCENARIO 2
Midazolam is added at 0.015mg/kg/h Why increase midazolam day time ? Why do not simply increase propofol from 10 pm to 6
am ?
Why do not use a small dose of haloperidol (i.e at 10 am) if not contraindicated ?
125
CONCLUSION 1
• Sleep disturbances include also exogenous factors such as medications, sedatives and analgesics.
• Sedatives and analgesics should be tailored to the perceived patient’s needs or objective scale assessment , according to their PK and PD with attention to the potential causes of sleep disruption
• However there has never been a sedation algorithm studied specifically for its effects on sleep.
126
CONCLUSION 2• BZD may disrupt sleep and cause delirium but a single
dose of short-acting BZD may favour sleep in anxious patients
• Non intubated
patients sleep may be theoretically facilitated with the aid of a short-acting hypnotic such as zolpidem
or a typical/atypical antipsychotics
• Propofol
has interesting features but its effect on REM sleep is still debated
• Dexmedetomidine
would also have interesting properties in both intubated
and not intubated
patients but further
studies are needed127
Prevention and treatment of sleep disturbances in acute respiratory failure: the role of noninvasive ventilation

AIMS To understand • How application of NIV might impact upon sleep quality • Why this might be important • Taking application of NIV in the (acute) situation to the next level SUMMARY Disrupted and restricted sleep adverse effect of well-being and predispose to chronic medical problems. It has long been recognised that critically ill patients, particularly those undergoing mechanical ventilation, have poor sleep quality. Sleep deprivation may have a number of adverse consequences, which theoretically could impact upon ICU outcome. For instance broken sleep architecture may be associated with delirium and this may have an adverse effect upon the application of non-invasive ventilation (1). There are number of factors which may adversely affect sleep quality in acutely ill patients. General ward noise associated with the care of other patients, regular sleep disruption for the delivery of nursing care, including monitoring, disruption to the day / night routine, medication and illness severity. This presentation will focus upon how the application of mechanical ventilation may impact upon sleep quality. Patients presenting to hospital with acute on chronic respiratory failure are often chronically sleep deprived. In some patients once effective ventilation is applied, and the effort of breathing against an increased load reduced, patients quickly fall asleep. Theoretically this could have an adverse effect on ventilation as REM rebound may occur, leading to increased upper airway obstruction, reduced inspiratory drive to breathe and facial atonia, leading to mouth leak. Assisted ventilation may affect sleep quality through a number of mechanisms: patient ventilator asynchrony, central apnoeas due to over ventilation, inadequate ventilatory support and air leaks. Noise from the machine and due to airflow through and around the interface, may also be disruptive. Different factors to be considered include ventilator mode, settings and interface issues. Fanfulla et al (2) compared two groups of patients on a respiratory step down unit. Patients underwent 24-hour EEG recording. Sleep amount of quality was no different in those admitted for monitoring (breathing spontaneously) and those receiving tracheostomy ventilation. A significant proportion however had reduced sleep efficiency. Total sleep time and efficiency was reduced in those with more severe illness and a higher pH was correlated with reduced sleep quantity and quality. Mechanical ventilation per se did not appear to be a primary cause of sleep impairment. Patient ventilator asynchrony is known to reduce the tolerance and effectiveness of ventilation both invasive and non-invasive. It prolongs weaning and is associated with impaired sleep quality. Causes are multifactorial including ineffective efforts, prolonged cycling and auto triggering and each can lead to discomfort during wakefulness and arousal from sleep. Crescimanno et al (3) showed that asynchrony is correlated to leak with auto triggering, followed by ineffective efforts
128
being the most common. Asynchrony occurred more often in non-REM than REM sleep. Although asynchrony rate correlated with arousals and awakenings only 13% of arousals or were due to patient ventilator asynchrony. Fanfulla et al (4) investigated the effects of different ventilator settings on sleep and inspiratory effort in patients with neuromuscular disease. They compared usual settings with those determined physiologically aimed to reduce the tidal swing of trans-diaphragmatic pressure by between 40 and 80% and to avoid any positive deflection in oesophageal pressure during expiration. They showed that physiological settings resulted in a significant improvement in gas exchange, sleep efficiency and percentage of REM sleep. This was significantly correlated with a reduction in ineffective efforts. A small number of patients develop severe breathlessness on discontinuing non-invasive ventilation in the morning, "deventilation dyspnoea" Adler et al (5) showed that by identifying respiratory abnormalities during nocturnal polysomnography and making appropriate changes to ventilator settings this could be markedly reduced. The predominant cause was an increased number of ineffective efforts, which could be reduced by decreasing the level of pressure support, primarily by reducing the level of IPAP, but in some by increasing EPAP, or by increasing backup rate, inspiratory flow rate and adjusting TI Max to achieve an I: E ratio of 1 to 2.5 - 3. As well as reducing morning dyspnoea there was a subjective improvement in patient perception of asynchrony and leaks and an improvement in sleep quality. High intensity ventilation with high inflation pressures and backup rates is advocated by some; comparable sleep quality has been shown between high and low ventilation strategies (6). The above findings suggest that the high backup rate may be important in reducing patient ventilator asynchrony, which can be worsened if high inflation pressures lead to an increase in intrinsic PEEP. Leak, either from around the interface or through the mouth, when a nasal mask is utilised, reduces ventilator efficiency, increases asynchrony and also compromises sleep quality. Meyer et al (7) showed that while oxygenation was maintained during leak it was associated with frequent arousals. Patients used a combination of active and passive manoeuvers to reduce leak. Teschler et al (8) showed that mouth leak could be reduced by taping the lips shut and that this improved carbon dioxide elimination and reduced the arousal index. The percentage of time in REM sleep was also increased. The role of different modes of ventilation upon sleep quality has also been investigated. Tuggey and Elliott (9) showed no difference in sleep quality in stable patients with restrictive chest wall disease receiving pressure or volume ventilation in a crossover trial. Importantly there were no differences in various neuropsychological tests, performed during the day, which might have been expected to have shown differences if there were differences in sleep quality. In the acute setting ICU type ventilators are commonly used to deliver non-invasive ventilation; in one study (10) although slight differences in patient ventilator synchrony were observed there were no differences in sleep quality. Non-invasive ventilation sessions did not prevent patients sleeping but rather aided sleep, compared with spontaneous breathing. Noise from the ICU ventilators contributed to arousals. The ability of a ventilator to meet the patient’s inspiratory demands is key to patient comfort and prevention of arousals. Two innovative modes have been developed to match the patient's respiratory demands more closely, proportional assist and neurally adjusted ventilation; neither has gained widespread clinical acceptance though both have been shown to improve comfort, reduce patient ventilator asynchrony and proportional assist ventilation to improve some measures of sleep quality (11, 12). More recently volume assured modes have been introduced to ensure adequate control of nocturnal hypoventilation and while these have not been shown in most studies to be superior to "expertly" initiated NIV one study showed a subjective benefit in terms of improved sleep quality but in another (13) volume assured ventilation, because of increased leak was associated with increased dyssynchrony.
129
Finally it is important to realise that factors other than the ventilator may be important. Leak from around the interface has already been mentioned but in addition the high gas flows necessary for some interfaces, for instance the helmet (14), generate considerable noise and while this has not been studied during sleep the effects of noise are obvious. Patients receiving NIV are usually in a higher dependency area and the noise generated by other patients, their nursing care, ventilator alarms etc going off will also contribute to sleep disruption. NIV, in common with all critical illness, requires monitoring further interrupting sleep; a decision should be made as to whether the patient being allowed to sleep is more important than the need for clinical data. This must be determined on a case by case basis but "routine" monitoring at the expense of sleep should be avoided. In conclusion differences in the way that NIV is applied have been shown to have an impact upon sleep quality. There is however, to date, no evidence that this in impacts upon outcome. On purely pragmatic grounds however it is reasonable to address these issues if no other reason that patient comfort is improved. Finally it is worth taking the opportunity to remember that sleep is important to us all and that many things can be done simply to improve the quality of sleep for patients receiving NIV.

Prevention and treatment of sleep disturbances in acute respiratory failure: the role of noninvasive
ventilation
132
Disclosure
• I have received honoraria, subsistence and payment for attendance on expert panels from manufacturers of ventilators
133
Aims
• To understand –How application of NIV might
impact upon sleep quality
–Why this might be important
–Taking application of NIV in the (acute) situation to the next level
134
Effect of Sleep deprivation
• Respiratory
• Cognitive (delirium)
• Cardiovascular
• Endocrine
• Immune
• Patient acceptance of NIV
135
Potential disadvantages of effective NIV
• Patients chronically sleep deprived• Sleep once established on NIV• REM rebound
– Upper airway obstruction– Reduced respiratory drive
• Apnoeas• Less patient contribution to inspiration
– Facial atonia => mouth leak
136
How may assisted ventilation affect sleep quality?
• Patient ventilator asynchrony
• Central apnoeas due to over ventilation
• Inadequate ventilatory support
• Air leaks
137
Factors that may impact upon sleep during NIV
• Ventilator mode
• Ventilator settings
• Interface issues–Leak
–Noise

Subjective Sleep Quality During Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS) Ventilation in Patients with
Hypercapnic COPD: A Physiological Pilot Study
• AVAPs v Pressure support
• N=9 stable COPD patients
• Baseline (T0) and after three (T1) and five (T2) nights
• PaCO2 and comfort VAS similarly improved for both modalities
• Perceived sleep efficiency score significantly improved at T2 with AVAPS (from 5.1 +/- 2.0 to 4.1 +/- 2.2, P = 0.001) but not with PS (from 5.1 +/- 1.7 to 4.7 +/- 1.3, P = 0.219).
• No difference in mean usage.
Crisafulli et al Lung 2009; 187:299-305169
170
• Not just about the ventilator–Other patients and activity on the
ward
–Alarms
–Monitoring• Bloods including arterial blood gases
• Blood pressure etc
–Ward staff are at work
171
Conclusion
• Differences in way NIV applied affect sleep quality
• No evidence that this impacts upon outcome• The issues raised are worthy of consideration in
improving delivery of NIV on pragmatic grounds alone
• Consider the patient’s need for sleep in hospital– Think about the other things – they may be easier to
identify and change!
