Abstract
Background
Use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the intensive care unit (ICU) is increasing, yet reporting of nutrition intake, muscle thickness, or recovery outcomes in this population is limited.
Objective
The objective of this study was to quantify muscle thickness, nutrition intake, and functional recovery outcomes for patients receiving HFNC/NIV within the ICU.
Methods
A single-centre, prospective, observational study in adult ICU patients recruited within 48 hrs of commencing HFNC/NIV. Change in quadriceps muscle layer thickness using ultrasound (primary outcome) and 24 hr nutrition intake from study inclusion to day 7 (D7), functional capacity (Barthel Index), and quality of life (EuroQol five-dimension five-level utility index) at D90 were assessed. Data are n (%), mean ± standard deviation or median [interquartile range], are compared using paired sample t-test, and a P value of <0.05 was considered significant.
Results
Primary outcome data were available for n = 28/42: 64 ± 13 y, 61% male, body mass index: 29.1 ± 9.0 kg/m2, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score: 17 ± 5. Quadriceps muscle layer thickness reduced from 2.41 ± 0.87 to 2.12 ± 0.73 cm; mean difference: −0.29 cm (95% confidence interval: -0.44, −0.13). Nutrition intake increased from study inclusion to D7: 1735 ± 1283 to 5448 ± 2858 kJ and 17.4 ± 16.6 to 60.9 ± 36.8g protein. Barthel Index was 87 ± 20 at baseline and 91 ± 15 at D90 (out of 100). Quality of life was impaired at D90: 0.64 ± 0.23 (health = 1.0).
Conclusion
Critically ill patients receiving HFNC/NIV experienced muscle loss and impaired quality of life.
