Posted February 28, 201411 yr Any literature advising use or contraindication of HFVO in acute pulmonary hemorrhage? Would persistent respiratory acidosis be an indication to discontinue HFVO?
March 1, 201411 yr comment_7509 I don't remember about contraindication (I didn't check new literature)...usually HFOV (and its high maps) helps in a pulmonary hemorrhage. Usually I treat a persistent respiratory acidosis with HFOV, of course it depends on etiopathogenesis of acidosis and if patient needs ventilatory support or not... ....but I suppose that your question is more complicated than my answers...
