Study of non-invasive mechanical ventilation in ICU patients : clinical and prognostic relevance

Abstract

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the provision of ventilatory support to the lungs without the use of an endotracheal airway. It has emerged as an important tool in the treatment of diverse forms of acute respiratory failure. It not only reduces the need for invasive mechanical ventilation and its associated complications, but also reduces the complications associated with stay in the intensive care unit, length of hospital stay, and mortality in selected patients. This descriptive study was conducted on 50 critically ill patients with acute respiratory failure. All patients were subjected to full history taking, complete physical examination, chest and cardiac imaging and laboratory investigations.

“…The common respiratory diseases mainly include COPD, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), respiratory failure, etc. [2][3][4] . The therapies for patients in respiratory diseases are often assisted with the mechanical ventilation (MV).…”
