Non-invasive mechanical ventilation has been increasingly used to avoid or serve as an
alternative to intubation. Compared with medical therapy, and in some instances with …

In acute heart failure (AHF) syndromes significant respiratory failure (RF) is essentially seen
in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (ACPE) or cardiogenic shock (CS) …

Background Identifying the predictors of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) failure has attracted
significant interest because of the strong link between failure and poor outcomes. However …

Guideline recommendations for the prehospital and early in-hospital (first 6–12 hrs after
presentation) management of acute heart failure syndromes are lacking. The American …

Introduction Continuous positive airway pressure ventilation (CPAP) and non-invasive
positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) are accepted treatments in acute cardiogenic …

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 …

Introduction We conducted the present study to investigate the potential beneficial and
adverse effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compared with bi-level …

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema may develop
respiratory failure. Noninvasive respiratory support should be initiated rapidly to avoid …

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the delivery of assisted mechanical ventilation to the lungs,
without the use of an invasive endotracheal airway. NIV has revolutionised the management …

Non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) with bilevel positive airway pressure is a non‐invasive
technique, which refers to the provision of ventilatory support through the patient's upper …
