Abstract:NIV can be useful and safe in children with ARF admitted to a Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit. If strict inclusion protocols are followed, NIV might avoid mechanical ventilation.
“…It increases ventilation by supplying pressurized air through an oral-nasal or nasal mask. 1 NPPV is used as a first-line treatment in acute respiratory failure in adult patients with neuromuscular disorders, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiologic pulmonary edema, status asthmaticus, and respiratory distress in the immunocompromised patients. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Results of controlled trials have proven the beneficial effects of this technique as an alternative to endotracheal intubation in these patients.…”
Our results encourage the use of NPPV as a first-line treatment in children with malignancies who develops acute respiratory failure, except in those with severe hemodynamic status.

“…Se defi nió VNI a la aplicación de presión positiva en la vía aérea mediante técnicas que per mitieran mejorar la ventilación alveolar y sin necesidad de requerir intubación orotraqueal (11) .…”
“…Existen comunicaciones de pequeñas series de casos que señalan benefi cios con la aplicación de la VNI en el tratamiento de niños con IRA y falla respiratoria aguda moderada [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . La mayoría de los niños con IRA grave presen-tan obstrucción espiratoria de la pequeña vía, atrapamiento aéreo e hiperinsufl ación dinámica, aumento del trabajo respiratorio e hipoxemia de grado variable.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
