Abstract

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) is widely used in both acute and chronic respiratory failure and requires careful monitoring and titration to ensure its success and avoid complications. It has been proven effective in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and acute respiratory failure secondary to cardiogenic pulmonary edema. It is also used as a home care therapy in patients with chronic pulmonary or sleep disorders.
