Background Non-invasive ventilation can prevent respiratory failure after extubation in
individuals at increased risk of this complication, and enhanced survival in patients with …

Rationale: Respiratory failure after extubation and reintubation is associated with increased
morbidity and mortality. Objectives: To assess the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation in …

Purpose Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may facilitate withdrawal of invasive mechanical
ventilation (i-MV) and shorten intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) in hypercapnic …

Objective: Compared with standard medical therapy (SMT), noninvasive ventilation (NIV)
does not reduce the need for reintubation in unselected patients who develop respiratory …

Purpose The use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) to facilitate discontinuation of mechanical
ventilation in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (hypoxemic ARF) has never …

Rationale: The use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) as an early weaning/extubation
technique from mechanical ventilation remains controversial. Objectives: To investigate NIV …

Background The need for reintubation after extubation and discontinuation of mechanical
ventilation is not uncommon and is associated with increased mortality. Noninvasive positive …

BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) after extubation in
preventing post-extubation respiratory failure is still controversial. METHODS: We conducted …

Background: Noninvasive ventilation has assumed an important role in the management of
respiratory failure in critical care units, but it must be used selectively depending on the …

Rationale: Although noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may prevent reintubation in patients at
high risk of extubation failure in ICUs, this oxygenation strategy has not been specifically …
