From: Management strategy for hematological malignancy patients with acute respiratory failure
ICU admission | Giving priority to those who may benefit most from critical care based on an integration of clinical experience, matched results of clinical studies and the willing of patients and their relatives. More studies are needed to verify predictors, such as SOFA, APACHEII, SAPSII and others |
Optimal setting | Hematological ICU is preferred, or General ICU where hematologist, intensivist and respiratory therapist can collaborate closely |
NIV | PaO2/FiO2 > 200; SO2 < 90% and RR > 25; Pulmonary edema; Refuse intubation |
IMV | PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 200; RR > 35; Consciousness disorder; unstable hemodynamic; ARDS; MOD |
