Impact of Comorbidities on Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation Response: Key Practical Implications

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

Comorbidities play an important role in noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) treatment, response, and safety. In real life in clinics, the presence of potentially dangerous comorbidities is frequent, but this problem is poorly addressed in the literature. The aim of this chapter is to revise the key practical implications of respiratory and non-respiratory comorbidities for NIV in respiratory failure treatment.
