Noninvasive Respiratory Support in Acute Respiratory Failure Noninvasive respiratory
support can be useful for cardiogenic pulmonary edema and COPD exacerbations. For other …

High-flow therapy (HFT) is the administration of gas flows above 15 L/min. It is a non-
invasive respiratory support that delivers heated (up to 38° C), humidified (100% Relative …

Background Optimal noninvasive respiratory support for patients with hypoxemic respiratory
failure should minimize work of breathing without increasing the transpulmonary pressure …

Positive airway pressure that dynamically changes with breathing, and clearance of
anatomical dead space are the key mechanisms of noninvasive respiratory support with …

BACKGROUND: Jet nebulizers are commonly used for bronchodilator therapy in COPD.
High-flow nasal cannula with vibrating mesh nebulizer (HFNC-VMN) is a recently developed …

Background During high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy, flow plays a crucial role in the
physiological effects. However, there is no consensus on the initial flow settings and …

Before the widespread introduction of positive-pressure ventilation in intensive care after the
polio epidemics in the 1950's, most forms of ventilatory support have been “non invasive” or …

Abstract Background and Objective The relative effectiveness of initial non‐invasive
respiratory strategies for acute respiratory failure using continuous positive airway pressure …

BACKGROUND: Aerosol barrier enclosure systems have been designed to prevent airborne
contamination, but their safety has been questioned. A vacuum tent was designed with …

Background: Home non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) may improve chronic
hypercarbia in COPD and patient important outcomes. The efficacy of home high flow nasal …
