ABSTRACT
The article reports on a study by Keenan S. P. and colleagues focusing on the efficacy of noninvasive ventilation in acute respiratory failure. The study concludes that in patients with acute respiratory failure adding noninvasive ventilation to standard therapy improved clinical outcomes in an acute care setting. The study consistently supports use of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in patients with respiratory distress.
