“…Although all comparisons with previous studies can be subjected to a number of biases (differences in the selection of patients, medical therapy and degree of monitoring applied), these data suggest that the treatment of acute respiratory failure in COPD patients by NPV could improve survival. In a subsequent study, aimed at investigating the effects of NPV, in overcoming acute episodes and relapses of ARF, combined with long-term oxygen therapy, we confirmed a good long-term survival in COPD patients treated with NPV [91].…”

“…The only long-term study on noninvasively ventilated patients [21] showed a survival rate at 1 yr very much higher than in other studies on patients treated conventionally either with medical therapy alone or by endotracheal mechanical ventilation. CORRADO and coworkers [22] used a negative pressure ventilation mode, the iron lung, to administer early treatment to COPD patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and at any relapse of ARF. Our results confirm the survival data of CORRADO and co-workers [22], although our patients treated with NPPV had a slightly lower survival rate at 1 yr.…”

“…CORRADO and coworkers [22] used a negative pressure ventilation mode, the iron lung, to administer early treatment to COPD patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and at any relapse of ARF. Our results confirm the survival data of CORRADO and co-workers [22], although our patients treated with NPPV had a slightly lower survival rate at 1 yr. The difference may be explained by different ventilation modes, by difference in the size of the two study populations and by the fact that not all the relapses of ACRF in our study were treated with NPPV but only the severe ones.…”

“…In 1996, a comprehensive review examining the literature on this topic was published [1]. NPV does not have the same body of randomised controlled trial data to support its use in acute-on-chronic respiratory failure, but there have been seven uncontrolled studies [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] and two case controlled studies [9,10]. The studies have often been of large numbers of patients, and recently, the preliminary results of two randomised controlled trials comparing NPV with both invasive mechanical ventilation and mask ventilation have been reported in abstract form [11,12].…”
