Objectives: Continuous or bilevel positive airway pressure ventilation,

Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation: Resource Document for the National Association of EMS Physicians Position Statement

“…1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] The benefits of inhospital NIPPV have been confirmed through metaanalyses. In a systematic review and meta-analysis of NIPPV in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema, Masip et …”

“…The majority of NIPPV studies have focused on patients with acute pulmonary edema. [6][7][8][9]11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]29,31,32,35,[38][39][40][41] However, NIPPV may prove useful with other reversible disease processes such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma exacerbations. 33,42,43 While utilized in in-hospital practice, the role of NIPPV for pneumonia-associated respiratory failure is less clear.…”

Blunt thoracic trauma

“…Although noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been well established and accepted for treatment of respiratory failure in patients with cardiogenic pulmonary edema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, its role in managing respiratory failure in trauma patients remains somewhat controversial [4][5][6][7]. Recently, two systematic reviews have evaluated the safety and efficacy of NIV in blunt chest trauma [8,9].…”

Non-invasive Ventilation: A Gimmick or Does It Really Affect Outcomes?

“…[7] They also looked at outcomes of non-invasive ventilation as a bridge to endotracheal intubation versus immediate endotracheal intubation. This study included 2430 patients who received ventilatory assistance out of 37,372 hospitalized patients with AHF admitted from the ED.…”
