Abstract
Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is increasingly being considered an emergency treatment outside of intensive care units such as emergency department (ED), high-dependency unit (HDU), and wards for patients with acute respiratory failure. The two types of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) are bi-level positive pressure and continuous positive pressure. These pressures deliver high pressure and help to reduce the workload of the patient, which will avoid intubation and reduce the hospital stay. There is so much evidence for the effectiveness of this treatment for patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases and acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Other conditions included in this chapter are asthma and community-acquired pneumonia. The main criteria for initiating these therapies are based on blood gas values and the clinical symptoms of patients. The successful outcomes of NIV are based on the appropriate selection of patients, interfaces, and pressures.
