Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive ventilation for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

TL;DR: In selected patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, noninvasive ventilation can reduce the need for endotracheal intubation, the length of the hospital stay, and the in-hospital mortality rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of three methods of gradual withdrawal from ventilatory support during weaning from mechanical ventilation

TL;DR: A randomized trial in three intensive care units in mechanically ventilated patients who met standard weaning criteria found a lower number of failures was found with PSV than with the other two modes, with the difference just reaching the level of significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comparison of Noninvasive Positive-Pressure Ventilation and Conventional Mechanical Ventilation in Patients with Acute Respiratory Failure

TL;DR: A prospective, randomized trial of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation as compared with endotracheal intubation with conventional mechanical ventilation in 64 patients with hypoxemic acute respiratory failure who required mechanical ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive ventilation for treatment of acute respiratory failure in patients undergoing solid organ transplantation: a randomized trial.

TL;DR: The results of this prospective randomized study indicate that transplantation programs should consider NIV in the treatment of selected recipients of transplantation with acute respiratory failure.
