Abstract | ||||
Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU),the heart rate .acidosis,consciousness,oxygenation and respiratory rate( HACOR) score provides a systematic method for identifying patients at risk of non invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) failure, enabling early intubation and mechanical ventilation. This reduces the risks of delayed intervention, such as prolonged ICU stays and higher mortality .Clinical studies have validated the score's effectiveness in improving patient outcomes through timely therapeutic adjustments. Objective: To Predict noninvasive mechanical ventilation failure among critically ill patients using a physiological parameters-based scoring system. Settings: This study was conducted in the General ICUs at Alexandria Main University Hospital, including Unit II (14 beds), Unit III (16 beds), Unit continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT) 16 beds, and the triage unit (8 beds). The General ICUs admit patients with various acute disorders from the emergency room or other departments, while the CRRT unit focuses on patients with renal issues.Subjects: A convenience sample of 100 critically ill adult patients (aged 18–60, both sex) admitted within 24 hours to the specified ICUs and requiring noninvasive mechanical ventilation were included in this study.Tools: : One tool was utilized for data collection in this study namely “Noninvasive mechanical ventilation failure assessment record’’. Results: The study found that NIV success decreased from 100% at 1–2 hours to 74% at 48 hours, with the failure rate rising to 26%. These changes were statistically significant, with 74% of patients at low risk and 26% at high risk of NIV failure by 48 hours.Conclusion: The HACOR score and its parameters effectively monitor patient progress and predict NIV failure. Factors like age, smoking, renal diagnosis, hemoglobin, creatinine, and blood glucose levels show varying correlations with NIV failure.Recommendations Use the HACOR score for regular monitoring and early intervention. Conduct ongoing training for healthcare providers on effectively interpreting and applying the score. | ||||
