    Effectiveness of non-invasive ventilation in cardiogenic acute pulmonary edema to reduce mortality in critically ill patients
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-04-07) Zamudio Vicente, Carlos Alexander; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa María
    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the efficacy of non-invasive ventilation in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema to reduce mortality in critically ill patients. Material and methods: A systematic review of international research articles was conducted, which were obtained through a search in databases: Epistemonikos, NCBI, PubMed, Elsevier, and SciELO. These articles were selected and analyzed using the GRADE system to determine the respective level of evidence. The articles were searched using DeCS and MeSH descriptors for searches in Spanish and English, respectively. 50% (5/10) of the reviewed articles are from the United States, 20% (2/10) are from China, 20% (2/10) are from the United Kingdom, and 10% (1/10) are from Singapore. Results: 90% (9/10) of the evidence shows that non-invasive ventilation is effective in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema to reduce mortality in critically ill patients, and 10% (1/10) of the evidence suggests it is not effective. Conclusions: It is found that 9 out of 10 studies conclude that non-invasive ventilation is effective in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema to reduce mortality in critically ill patients, while 1 out of 10 studies finds it ineffective.
