There has been much clinical and academic interest in the use of noninvasive positive-
pressure ventilation (NPPV) in patients with acute and chronic respiratory failure. The use of …

In selected patients, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) with a facemask is
now commonly employed as the first choice for providing mechanical ventilation in the …

Over the last 20 years, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) strategies have been used with
increasing frequency. The ease of use of NIV makes it applicable to patients presenting in a …

Background: Early studies have found better clinical efficiency when a nebulizer was used
with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV), compared with spontaneous …

Background: Research on the effect of nebulizer location on aerosol delivery during
noninvasive ventilation has reached inconsistent conclusions. Objective: To investigate the …

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) is the delivery of mechanical-assisted
breathing without placement of an artificial airway such as an endotracheal tube or …

Noninvasive ventilation refers to the delivery of assisted ventilatory support without the use
of an endotracheal tube. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) can be delivered …

Background: Patients receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may benefit from medical
aerosol, but most guidance on dosing with different aerosol devices is limited to in-vitro …

Acute respiratory failure (ARF) refers to a severe deterioration in gas exchange that may
require mechanical ventilation for life support. Instituted when conservative treatment fails …

Noninvasive ventilation refers to the delivery of mechanical ventilation to the lungs using
techniques that do not require an endotracheal airway. During the first half of the 20th …
