Abstract

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is widely used in respiratory intermediate care units. In this chapter, we will review the latest evidence related to the use of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in patients that presented acute respiratory failure in widely numerous pathologies like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbations, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, postoperative lung cancer patients, chest trauma patients, and COVID-19 positive patients.
