Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) is widely used in the acute care setting for acute
respiratory failure (ARF) across a variety of aetiologies. This document provides European …

The role of spontaneous breathing among patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
and ARDS is debated: while avoidance of intubation with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) or …

Rationale: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used in patients with acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The evidence supporting NIV use in patients with …

Purpose Intubation in patients with respiratory failure can be avoided by high-flow nasal
cannula (HFNC) use. However, it is unclear whether waiting until HFNC fails, which would …

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

Background In immunocompromised patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
(ARF), initial management aims primarily to avoid invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) …

Acute respiratory failure occurs in up to half of patients with haematological malignancies
and 15% of those with solid tumours or solid organ transplantation. Mortality remains high …

Over the coming years, accelerating progress against cancer will be associated with an
increased number of patients who require life-sustaining therapies for infectious or toxic …

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

After the institution of positive-pressure ventilation, the use of noninvasive ventilation (NIV)
