The need for reintubation after extubation and discontinuation of mechanical ventilation is not uncommon and is associated with increased mortality. Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation has been ...

As with conventional EMV, NIPPV aims to deliver adequate tidal volumes to enhance gas exchange. Toward this goal, ventilator parameters such as positive end-expiratory pressure, peak inspiratory ...

Out-of-hospital noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) in patients with severe respiratory distress significantly reduced rates of inhospital mortality and need for invasive ventilation, ...

Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) reduced the risk of requiring invasive ventilation and developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia by nearly half compared with nasal continuous ...
