Abstract:
Human infection with avian influenza A (H7N9) is an acute contagious respiratory disease. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common complication in patients with severe avian influenza A (H7N9), for whom mechanical ventilation (MV) is an important supportive method. A patient, suffered from severe avian influenza A (H7N9) and complicated with ARDS, was admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University in January 2017. With very intensive care for oxygenation, respiration and consciousness, and monitoring, she was successfully cured by comprehensive managements, among which noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) was the major respiratory support method. The result demonstrate that, in patients with conscious state, satisfied expectoration ability and relatively good cooperation, and with close observation of oxygenation and respiratory rate, NIV may be accepted as an effective method for patient with ARDS caused by severe avian influenza A (H7N9).
