Abstract
Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is used in acute and chronic respiratory failure with or without pressure support. It is most effective in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Respiratory rate, pulse oximetry, and arterial blood gas analysis are used for monitoring of respiratory status and efficacy of the treatment. Capnography is a noninvasive method for this purpose and a new tool with microstream technology.
