In conclusion, the findings of our survey depict the characteristics of the Noninvasive Ventilatory Support Group members as a heterogeneous pool of subjects, showing a different degree of expertise with a predominance of pulmonologists who manage patients in low-intensity settings with both acute and chronic respiratory failure. Current and future activities of the Group and its Assembly are directed to increase the awareness of all ERS members to the central role covered by NIV in respiratory medicine and to coherently improve the skills of old and new members.
