Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation in Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure: Determinants of Response and Patients’ Flow Chart Recommendations – Key Topics and Clinical Implications

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

Noninvasive ventilation, either continuous positive airway pressure or bi-level noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, is particularly effective in the treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Scant evidence suggests greater caution for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, blunt chest trauma, atelectasis, and near-drowning, where failure to improve PaO2/FiO2 ratio within 1 h should prompt intubation.
