“…This may simply be reflective of the underlying severity of illness among patients with alternative diagnoses, as evidenced by their increased median LOS. In fact, several reports have suggested that CPAP is useful for the treatment of respiratory distress due to noncardiogenic etiologies, such as pneumonia 23 and COPD. [24][25][26] Larger, controlled trials are needed in order to distinguish how well CPAP performs with respect to alternative etiologies of respiratory failure.…”

“…Between September 28, 1997, andJanuary 19, 1999, 123 consecutive adults admitted with acute respiratory insufficiency secondary to pulmonary edema were recruited prospectively at the medical ICUs of 6 hospitals (Henri Mondor, Créteil, France; La Cavalle Blanche, Brest, France; Croix Rousse, Lyon, France; Sant Pau, Barcelona, Spain; Monastir Hospital, Monastir, Tunisia; and La Sapienza University, Rome, Italy), which previously had participated in NIV studies and had experience with the various NIV techniques. 1,16,19,20 The study protocol was approved by the appropriate institutional review boards. In-formed consent was obtained from all the patients.…”

“…All centers were experienced in the delivery of face-mask ventilation and had previously participated in NIV studies. 1,16,19,20 Analysis of daily CPAP treatment duration data showed that CPAP was used for at least 6 h/d, as required by the study protocol. Use of intubation in patients in the oxygen plus CPAP group was not explained by a low compliance with CPAP treatment.…”

“…A few, however, develop acute asphyxic respiratory distress and require ventilatory support until the medical treatment starts to work. This may be particularly common in elderly patients with heart disease and patients with concomitant chronic lung disease [48]. Several NIV modalities have been tried successfully, the goal being to avoid ETI.…”
