Abstract
The most commonly reported locations for starting NIV outside ICUs and high-dependency units were in the emergency department. A cost-effective analysis is important in all public health decision-making, taking in mind the application of mechanical ventilation accounts for a significant share of this cost. The main goals of this therapy imply a good balance between cost and benefit. A recent study concluded that the use of NIV in general wards was effective, common, and gradually increasing. Improvements in staff training and introduction of protocols could help to make this technique safer and more common when applied in a general ward setting.
