Noninvasive Ventilation Outside the ICU

  • Chapter
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Abstract

The use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) for the treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure has greatly increased. The growing knowledge of NIV efficacy and clinicians’ confidence in managing this technique have been accompanied by a wide reduction in the number of available intensive care unit (ICU) beds. Therefore, the application of NIV outside the ICU is common and increasing worldwide.
