PURPOSE: To study the effects of withdrawing noninvasive ventilation (NIV) used during
acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for the delivery of aerosolized …

Background: Although nebulizing beta 2-agonists during noninvasive ventilation (NIV) could
prove helpful, this administration route has to date never been studied in unstable chronic …

PURPOSE: This prospective, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study tested the
hypothesis that noninvasive positive pressure ventilation reduces the need for endotracheal …

Objective Respiratory failure due to exacerbation of obstructive lung disease has been
successfully treated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). However, there …

BACKGROUND: Bronchodilator delivery via a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has
generated interest in recent years. The efficacy of in-line vibrating mesh nebulizers with an …

Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) can replace tracheal intubation in acute
exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with severe hypercapnic …

Objective: We investigated the clinical response to equivalent doses of salbutamol
delivered, via metered dose inhaler (MDI) during non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV …

Background: Advances in aerosol technology have improved drug delivery efficiency during
noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Clinical evaluation of the efficacy of aerosol therapy during …

Background Despite recent encouraging results, the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in
the management of acute exacerbations in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) …

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has changed the prognosis of
patients with chronic ob‑structive pulmonary disease (COPD) suffering from hypercapnic …
