Figure 1:. Vignettes of three pediatric hematopoietic cell transplant patients with respiratory failure
Patient not included in this study: 8yo F w AML day +32 s/p allogeneic HCT admitted to the PICU with acute lower respiratory infection, treated with NIPPV for 5 days and discharged from the PICU to the transplant unit. Patient A: 8yo F w AML day +32 s/p allogeneic HCT admitted to the PICU with septic shock, endotracheally intubated and started on invasive mechanical ventilation within 2 hours of PICU admissions without the use of pre-intubation HFNC/NIPPV, extubated 3 days later and transferred to the transplant unit. Patient B: 8yo F w AML day +110 s/p allogeneic HCT admitted to the PICU with multifactorial respiratory failure in the setting of acute graft versus host disease and thrombotic microangiopathy, treated with NIPPV followed by IMV the next day. These vignettes demonstrate how different patient characteristics can influence the use of NIPPV and IMV in the pediatric intensive care unit.
