Background There is increasing support for the use of noninvasive positive pressure
ventilation (NPPV) in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure. Highest success …

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been used increasingly to treat acute
respiratory failure (ARF). The best indications for its use are ARF in patients with COPD …

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) is increasingly being used in the care of
patients suffering acute respiratory failure. High-level evidence supports the use of NPPV to …

Background: Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been shown to be
effective in select patients enrolled in clinical trials. However, few data are available on the …

Our current state of knowledge on noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and
technical aspects are discussed in the present review. In patients with chronic obstructive …

Objective: Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is beneficial for patients with acute
respiratory failure. However, its possible benefit for patients with acute lung injury (200 mm …

BACKGROUND: Although noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) improves
outcomes in patients who have acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive …

We compared noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV), using bilevel positive
airway pressure, with usual medical care (UMC) in the therapy of patients with acute …

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is a technique used to deliver mechanical
ventilation that is increasingly utilised in acute and chronic conditions. The present review …

Objective: To determine the outcome from the use of noninvasive positive pressure
ventilation (NPPV) in “do-not-intubate”(DNI) patients in acute respiratory failure. Design …
