Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a modality of ventilatory support without endotracheal
intubation and sedation and is usually delivered through a face mask, sometimes through a …

Although in acute pulmonary edema NIV is more effective in improving respiratory distress
than conventional oxygen therapy and reduces the necessity of intubation, the subset of …
