Abstract
Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) constitutes a frequent cause of admission in intensive care units. All patients require specific medical therapy, including oxygen, and many of them eventually require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation with the aim of improving gas exchange, rest the respiratory muscles and avoid exhaustion and respiratory arrest. This technique is considered as invasive because it bypasses natural airway protective mechanisms in order to give access to the lower airways, often necessitates sedation and can be associated with traumatic or infectious complications [1, 2]. Non-invasive ventilation constitutes a way of delivering mechanical ventilation avoiding the use of endotracheal intubation. After being used in the setting of home mechanical ventilation [3, 4], it is now proposed for patients with acute respiratory failure [5–13].
