Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

In the past 20 years, noninvasive mechanical ventilation has become the first-line treatment for acute respiratory failure resulting from various etiologies. The increase in use occurred both in terms of the expansion of indications and as a possibility of application outside the narrow environment of intensive care. With the spread of the method even in non-expert wards in the field of ventilation and in increasingly serious patients, various failures have been found. This chapter aims to provide precise clinical and organizational indications to minimize the incidence of failures and at the same time to intervene, avoiding harmful delays, with tracheal intubation and ventilation to avoid the risks of inadequate treatment, which is known to cause a significant increase in mortality.
