Noninvasive Ventilation in Acute Respiratory Failure
In conclusion, in this population-based study of Olmsted County residents, we showed the incidence of NIV use in patients with ARF was high and NIV was commonly used as the initial treatment strategy and for palliative care of ARF in critically ill patients. The development of ARDS and higher APACHE III score were associated with the failure of initial NIV treatment. The results of this study could be helpful in the future planning of noninvasive mechanical ventilation use in the community-based ICU settings.
