Non-invasive ventilation in the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with palliative care needs: a scoping review. BMC Palliat Care 2024; 23:27. [PMID: 38287312 PMCID: PMC10823671 DOI: 10.1186/s12904-024-01365-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could have palliative care (PC) needs because of unmet needs such as dyspnoea. This may lead to anxiety and may have an impact on patients' ability to perform daily activities of living. PC can be started when patients with COPD have unmet needs and can be provided alongside disease-modifying therapies. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) could be an important measure to manage dyspnoea in patients with COPD in need of PC. A scoping review was conducted to gain an overview of the existing research and to identify knowledge gaps. The aim of this scoping review was to systematically map published studies on the use of NIV in patients with COPD with PC needs, including the perspectives and experiences of patients, families, and healthcare professionals (HCPs). METHODS This review was conducted following the framework of Arksey and O'Malley. The reporting of the review was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. The review protocol was published. AMED, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PEDro, and PsycInfo were searched from inception to November 14, 2022. The included studies had to report the perspectives and experiences of COPD patients, relatives, and HCPs regarding NIV in the care of patients with COPD with PC needs. In pairs, the authors independently assessed studies' eligibility and extracted data. The data were organised thematically. The results were discussed in a consultation exercise. RESULTS This review included 33 papers from 32 studies. Four thematic groupings were identified: preferences and attitudes towards the use of NIV; patient participation in the decision-making process of NIV treatment; conflicting results on the perceived benefits and burdens of treatment; and heterogenous clinical outcomes in experimental studies. Patients perceived NIV as a 'life buoy' to keep them alive. Many patients wanted to take part in the decision-making process regarding NIV treatment but expressed varying degrees of inclusion by HCPs in such decision-making. Conflicting findings were identified regarding the perceived benefits and burdens of NIV treatment. Diversity in heterogeneous clinical outcomes were reported in experimental studies. CONCLUSIONS There is a need for more studies designed to investigate the effectiveness of NIV as a palliative measure for patients with COPD with PC needs using comprehensive outcomes. It is especially important to gain more knowledge on the experiences of all stakeholders in the use of home-based NIV treatment to these patients.

BMJ Support Palliat Care 2024; 13:e547-e553.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To narrate the canon of knowledge around symptom control at end of life for patients using, or having recently used, non-invasive advanced respiratory support (NARS) at end of life for respiratory failure. METHODS A systematic review forming a narrative synthesis from a wide range of sample papers from Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Emcare, Cochrane and OpenGrey databases. A secondary search of grey literature was also performed with hand searching reference lists and author citations. The review was undertaken using the ENTREQ checklist for quality. RESULTS In total, 22 studies were included in the synthesis and four themes were generated: NARS as a buoy (NARS can represent hope and relief from the symptoms of respiratory failure), NARS as an anchor (NARS brings significant treatment burden), Impact on Staff (uncertainty over the balance of benefit and burden as well as complex patient care drives distress among staff providing care) and the Process of Withdrawal (withdrawal of therapy felt to be futile exists as discrete event in patient care but is otherwise poorly defined). CONCLUSION NARS represents a complex interplay of hope, symptom control, unnaturally prolonged death and treatment burden. The literature captures the breadth of these issues, but further, detailed, research is required in almost every aspect of practice around end-of-life care and NARS-especially how to manage symptoms at the end of life.

Exploring the Patient Experience with Noninvasive Ventilation: A Human-Centered Design Analysis to Inform Planning for Better Tolerance. CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASES (MIAMI, FLA.) 2022; 9:80-94.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study brings a human-centered design (HCD) perspective to understanding the patient experience when using noninvasive ventilation (NIV) with the goal of creating better strategies to improve NIV comfort and tolerance. METHODS Using an HCD motivational approach, we created a semi-structured interview to uncover the patients' journey while being treated with NIV. We interviewed 16 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treated with NIV while hospitalized. Patients' experiences were captured in a stepwise narrative creating a journey map as a framework describing the overall experience and highlighting the key processes, tensions, and flows. We broke the journey into phases, steps, emotions, and themes to get a clear picture of the overall experience levers for patients. RESULTS The following themes promoted NIV tolerance: trust in the providers, the favorable impression of the facility and staff, understanding why the mask was needed, how NIV works and how long it will be needed, immediate relief of the threatening suffocating sensation, familiarity with similar treatments, use of meditation and mindfulness, and the realization that treatment was useful. The following themes deterred NIV tolerance: physical and psychological discomfort with the mask, impaired control, feeling of loss of control, and being misinformed. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the reality of patients with COPD treated with NIV will help refine strategies that can improve their experience and tolerance with NIV. Future research should test ideas with the best potential and generate prototypes and design iterations to be tested with patients.

Abstract
Hospital admissions are common for people with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To provide effective, responsive care, it is important to understand how people experience hospitalization. The aim of this review was to explore the experience of hospitalization in people with advanced COPD, drawing from qualitative research data. Guided by a thematic synthesis approach, a systematic search of databases (n = 13) including PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO and ProQuest was undertaken from database inception to May 2020. Inclusion criteria included papers reporting qualitative research focused on any aspect of hospitalization for people with advanced COPD and reported in English language from peer reviewed journals. Following quality appraisal, relevant data were extracted, and a three-stage thematic synthesis method used to develop inductive themes. From 1935 papers, the 11 included studies focused on specific aspects of hospitalization (e.g., care and treatment), rather than the totality of the experience. Four analytical themes were identified: unpredictable hospitalization, benefits and burdens of treatment, overwhelming distress and the communicative attitude of staff. Hospitalization was unpredictable because of the frequent, sudden admissions required for acute breathlessness. Hospital could be perceived both as a safe place, due to immediate symptom relief, but also as a place for experiencing overwhelming distress. Breathlessness was the most difficult symptom experienced, causing physical and psychological distress. Both communication and attitudes of the staff could influence the experience. A holistic approach to the care of hospitalized individuals with advanced COPD is required to improve care.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/15412555.2021.1971186 .

Abstract
Objectives: Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, with high mortality rate and a significant burden of symptoms. It is therefore important to assess patients’ perceived quality of life during the diagnostic process and treatment. Knowledge of and attention to patients’ perspectives, experiences, and expectations in relation to lung cancer diagnostic pathways is limited. The aim of the study is to contribute with patients’ and relatives’ experiences with and their assessment of the quality of a hospital-based lung cancer diagnostic pathway. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted, comprising participant observation with 20 patients and semi-structured interviews with further 19 patients referred to the Lung Cancer Package, which initiates a fast track diagnostic pathway in a hospital setting. Data were obtained over a period of 9 months and analysed in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of health professionals. The purpose was to further develop existing management strategies of the fast track diagnostic pathway based on patient’s perspectives. Results: Patients associated the fast track diagnostic pathway with high levels of anxiety due to the immediate risk of a lung cancer diagnosis. Although patients experienced the fast track programme as very challenging, they still wanted to move through the diagnostic pathway as quickly as possible. The patients expressed a need for support from relatives and repeatedly required information in multiple formats from health professionals throughout the diagnostic pathway. Conclusions: The study provided insight into the need for developing the fast track diagnostic pathway with a focus on patient anxiety, network involvement, and information strategies. The results qualified clinical practice with an increased focus on managing patients’ anxiety, raised awareness to involve relatives in the diagnostic process, and relaying information in dialogue with patients and their relatives, including management strategies to support patients through diagnostic investigations in the fast track programme.

"I had the feeling that I was trapped": a bedside qualitative study of cognitive and affective attitudes toward noninvasive ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure. Ann Intensive Care 2019; 9:134. [PMID: 31792644 PMCID: PMC6888797 DOI: 10.1186/s13613-019-0608-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2019] [Accepted: 11/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is the application of mechanical ventilation through a mask. It is used to treat certain forms of acute respiratory failure in intensive care units (ICU). NIV has clinical benefits but can be anxiogenic for the patients. This study aimed at describing cognitive and affective attitudes toward NIV among patients experiencing NIV for the first time in the context of an ICU stay. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 10 patients during their ICU stay and soon after their first NIV experience. None of the patients had ever received NIV previously. Evaluative assertion analysis and thematic analysis were used to investigate cognitive and affective attitudes toward NIV before, during, and after the first NIV experience, as well as patient attitudes toward caregivers and relatives. Results Before their first NIV session, the cognitive attitudes of the patients were generally positive. They became less so and more ambiguous during and after NIV, as the patients discovered the actual barriers associated with NIV. Affective attitudes during NIV were more negative than affective attitudes before and after NIV, with reports of dyspnea, anxiety, fear, claustrophobic feelings, and reactivation of past traumatic experiences. The patients had more positive attitudes toward the presence of a caregiver during NIV, compared to the presence of a family member. Conclusion This study corroborates the possibly negative—or even traumatic—nature of the NIV experience, with emphasis on the role of affective attitudes. This is a rationale for evaluating the impact of NIV-targeted psychological interventions in ICU patients with acute respiratory failure.
