Abstract
In this chapter, we evaluate noninvasive ventilation as the procedure used in cases of pandemic crisis, bioterrorism, and infection disease which may have a common feature: an infectious agent that can enter in the respiratory tract for inhalation. NIV may have a crucial role in treating acute respiratory failure during pandemic and high-risk infections but should be guaranteed the safety of coworkers and patients through protective strategies. During the last COVID-19 pandemic, The percentage of patients who received noninvasive ventilation was very high and some evidences show that NIV can avoid intubation in many patients.
