Noninvasive Ventilation by Helmet or Face Mask in Immunocompromised Patients: A Case-Control Study

TL;DR: The helmet may represent a valid alternative to a face mask in immunocompromised patients with lung infiltrates and hypoxemic ARF, increasing the patient's tolerance and decreasing the rate of complications directly related to the administration of NPPV.
Journal Article

Noninvasive ventilation for treatment of acute respiratory failure in patients undergoing solid organ transplantation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared NIV with standard treatment using supplemental oxygen administration to avoid endotracheal intubation in recipients of solid organ transplantation with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of assisted ventilation on the work of breathing: volume-controlled versus pressure-controlled ventilation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that at moderate VT and low flow rates only, inspiratory assistance delivered at a constant pressure reduces the respiratory work rate more effectively than assist control ventilation.
