Abstract

Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) is a common cause of acute respiratory failure, often requiring ventilatory support with noninvasive positive airway pressure (NIPAP) therapy or endotracheal intubation. Although NIPAP has been recognized as a reliable treatment choice for patients with ACPE, firm evidence is scarce. This review provides recent evidence and practical applications of NIPAP therapy in the setting of ACPE.
