Noninvasive ventilation in hypercapnic respiratory failure: from rocking beds to fancy masks

Résumé fourni par la source

Significant developments have occurred in noninvasive ventilation (NIV) over the past two to three decades, such that it is now one of the most evidence-based areas of respiratory medicine. NIV is now part of the standard of care for a variety of conditions such as hypercapnic respiratory failure due to acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or cardiogenic pulmonary oedema [1, 2] and it has gained prominence in other settings such as in weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), in the postoperative period and in palliative care [3]. Indications for the use of NIV continue to expand.
