Noninvasive respiratory assistance as aid for respiratory care in neuromuscular disorders
Chronic respiratory failure is a common complication of neuromuscular disease. The use of noninvasive ventilation and mechanically assisted cough can reduce symptoms of hypoventilation, slow lung function decline, improve sleep quality, and in some cases

Extracorporeal CO2 removal in hypercapnic patients who fail noni nvasive ventialtion and refuse endotracheal intubation. a case series [PDF]
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) represents the standard of care for patients with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, NIV fails in almost 40% of the most severe forms of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure and patients must ...

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation in high-risk pulmonary infections: a clinical review [PDF]
The aim of this article was to review the role of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in acute pulmonary infectious diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H1N1 and tuberculosis, and to assess the risk of disease transmission with the use ...

Physiopathological rationale of using high-flow nasal therapy in the acute and chronic setting: A narrative review [PDF]
Chronic lung disease and admissions due to acute respiratory failure (ARF) are becoming increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing focus on optimizing respiratory support, particularly non-invasive respiratory support, to manage these ...

Late respiratory alkalosis during home mechanical ventilation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
This demonstrative case report shows how changes in the patient's ventilatory pattern can radically modify the results of home noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and can even generate complications associated with noninvasive ventilation such as ...

Acute respiratory failure in patients with hematological malignancies : outcomes according to initial ventilation strategy : a Groupe de recherche respiratoire en réanimation onco-hématologique (Grrr-OH) study [PDF]
Background: In patients with hematological malignancies and acute respiratory failure (ARF), noninvasive ventilation was associated with a decreased mortality in older studies. However, mortality of intubated patients decreased in the last years. In this
