Noninvasive vs invasive ventilation in COPD patients with severe acute respiratory failure deemed to require ventilatory assistance

TL;DR: In COPD patients with advanced hypercapnic acute respiratory failure, NIV had a high rate of failure, but, nevertheless, provided some advantages, compared to conventional invasive ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients: helmet versus facial mask

TL;DR: Helmet and facial mask were equally tolerated and both were effective in ameliorating gas exchange and decreasing inspiratory effort, however, the helmet was less efficient in decreasingInspatory effort and worsened the patient–ventilator interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Subject-ventilator synchrony during neural versus pneumatically triggered non-invasive helmet ventilation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated in healthy subjects that subject–ventilator synchrony, trigger effort, and breathing comfort with a helmet interface are considerably less impaired during increasing levels of PSV and respiratory rates with neural triggering and cycling-off, compared to conventional pneumatic triggering and Cycling-off.
