Background The use of non-invasive ventilation is controversial in immunocompromised
patients with acute respiratory failure, whereas the use of high-flow nasal cannula oxygen …

Background Although non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is recommended for
immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure in the intensive care unit (ICU), it …

Background Acute respiratory failure is the main cause of admission to intensive care unit in
immunocompromised patients. In this subset of patients, the beneficial effects of noninvasive …

Objective: In immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure, invasive
mechanical ventilation remains associated with high mortality. Choosing the adequate …

Background Whether noninvasive ventilation should be administered in patients with acute
hypoxemic respiratory failure is debated. Therapy with high-flow oxygen through a nasal …

Importance Noninvasive ventilation has been recommended to decrease mortality among
immunocompromised patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure. However, its …

Few studies have been performed on noninvasive ventilation (NIV) to treat hypoxic acute
respiratory failure in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress …

Introduction In immunocompromised patients, acute respiratory failure (ARF) is associated
with high mortality, particularly when invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is required. In …

Background Non-invasive ventilation has never been compared with high-flow oxygen to
determine whether it reduces the risk of severe hypoxaemia during intubation. We aimed to …

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of humidified
oxygen via high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) alternating with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in …
