Non-invasive Mechanic Ventilation During the “Weaning”

[Non-invasive mechanical ventilation after the successful weaning: a comparison with the venturi mask].

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study compared the rates of acute respiratory failure, reintubation, length of intensive care stay and mortality in patients in whom the non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) was applied instead of the routine venturi face mask (VM) application after a successful weaning. METHODS Following the approval of the hospital ethics committee, 62 patients who were ...

Invasive and Non-invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Pediatric Patients with COVID-19: A Systematic Review

Background and purpose: In the last months of 2019, the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) spread worldwide. This study investigated the need for mechanical ventilation in children who were admitted for COVID-19. Materials and methods: This article provides a systematic review of studies about children with COVID-19 requiring invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Electronic databa...

Non-invasive ventilation.

We read with interest the recent paper published in Thorax by Plant et al 1 which analysed predictors of the outcome of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with acute exacerba-tions of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Few data are available on this important question , and studies specifically designed to propose answers are either retrospective 2 or have been performed in a small ...
