Noninvasive Ventilation in Immunosuppressed Patients with Pulmonary Infiltrates, Fever, and Acute Respiratory Failure

TL;DR: In selected immunosuppressed patients with pneumonitis and acute respiratory failure, early initiation of noninvasive ventilation is associated with significant reductions in the rates of endotracheal intubation and serious complications and an improved likelihood of survival to hospital discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rotation and restricted use of antibiotics in a medical intensive care unit. Impact on the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by antibiotic-resistant gram-negative bacteria.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a new strategy of antibiotics use could be an efficient means to reduce the incidence of VAP caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and further studies are needed to validate these data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diaphragm ultrasonography to estimate the work of breathing during non-invasive ventilation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the feasibility and accuracy of this method to assess diaphragmatic function and its contribution to respiratory workload in critically ill patients under non-invasive ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patient-ventilator asynchrony during non-invasive ventilation for acute respiratory failure: a multicenter study

TL;DR: The results suggest that leaks play a major role in generating patient–ventilator asynchrony and discomfort, and point the way to further research to determine if ventilator functions designed to cope with leaks can reduce as synchrony in the clinical setting.
