Congestive Heart Failure : 

Congestive Heart Failure Developed by: Russell K. Miller Jr. MD, FACEP Assistant Professor of Surgery and Internal Medicine The University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston Lynn K. Wittwer, MD, MPD Clark County EMS

Objectives : 

Objectives Overview of CHF Review cardiac physiology and pathophysiology Early recognition of CHF Early and aggressive management of CHF

Heart Failure : 

Heart Failure The inability of the heart to maintain an output adequate to maintain the metabolic demands of the body.

Pulmonary Edema : 

Pulmonary Edema An abnormal accumulation of fluid in the lungs.

CHF : 

CHF Pulmonary Edema due to Heart Failure (Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema)

Statistics : 

Statistics US Health and Human Services. 5 million Americans suffer from CHF. $17.8 billion spent annually. 400,000 new cases reported each year.

Etiology : 

Etiology Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Ischemia Hypertension

People Live with Atherosclerosis – But Die of Thrombosis! :

Introduction : 

Introduction CPAP is a non-invasive procedure that is easily applied and can be easily discontinued without untoward patient discomfort. CPAP is an established therapeutic modality, recently introduced into the prehospital setting. In the primary phase CPAP application in cardiogenic pulmonary edema, thus far, appears to be beneficial to patient outcome.

Key Points of CPAP : 

Key Points of CPAP CPAP has been successfully demonstrated as an effective adjunct in the management of pulmonary edema secondary to congestive heart failure. CPAP may prove to be a viable alternative in many patients previously requiring endotracheal intubation by prehospital personnel.

CPAP Mechanism : 

CPAP Mechanism Increases pressure within airway. Airways at risk for collapse from excess fluid are stented open. Gas exchange is maintained Increased work of breathing is minimized

Prehospital Indications : 

Prehospital Indications Congestive Heart Failure Pulmonary Edema associated with volume overload ( renal insufficiency, iatrogenic volume overload, liver disease , etc) Near Drowning

Absolute Contraindications : 

Absolute Contraindications Respiratory Arrest Agonal Respirations Unconscious Shock associated with cardiac insufficiency Pneumothorax Facial Anomalies e.g. burns, fractures, etc. Facial trauma

Relative Contraindications : 

Relative Contraindications Decreased L.O.C. COPD Asthma Claustrophobia Patient Intolerance to equipment (e.g. mask) Tracheostomy (If lacking the adaptor)

Hazards : 

Hazards Gastric Distention (19 cm H2O pressure) Corneal Drying Hypotension Pneumothorax

Important Points : 

Important Points Pulmonary edema patients, properly selected, quickly improve with CPAP in a matter of minutes. CPAP is to CHF like D50 is to insulin shock. Visual inspection of chestwall movement reveals improved respiratory excursion.

Important Points (Continued) : 

Important Points (Continued) COPD and Asthmatic patients do not respond predictably to CPAP. They have a higher risk of complications such as pneumothorax, and thus should not be treated in the field with CPAP

Study Introduction : 

Study Introduction IRB approval through UTMB. 6 hours didactic instruction Recognize CHF Differentiate CHF, COPD, Asthma & Bronchitis. 2 hours clinical training. Instruction on assessment most important reason for success.

Data Summary 1996 – 1997 September – May Total Intubations 22 Hospital Stay 14.8 Days ICU Admission 100%

Slide 44: 

Data Summary 1997 – 1998 September – May CPAP 50 Total Intubations 8 (15%) - Primary Intubations 4 (8%) - CPAP Failures 4 (8%) Hospital Stay 8 days ICU Admission 48%

Slide 45: 

Data Comparison 1996 – 1997 1997 – 1998 Intubated 22 8 CPAP 0 50 Hospital Stay 14.8 8 ICU Admission 100% 48%

CPAP vs. Intubation : 

CPAP vs. Intubation CPAP Non-invasive Easily discontinued Easily adjusted Use by EMT-B Does not require sedation Comfortable Intubation Invasive Usually don’t extubate in field Potential for infection Requires highly trained personnel Can require sedation Traumatic

Summary : 

Summary CPAP provides an adjunct between oxygen by NRB and endotracheal intubation. Reduces length of hospital admission. Reduces trauma of intubation Reduces costs
