Extract
One of the major causes of emergency admissions is acute respiratory failure (ARF) [1]. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is increasingly used for ARF management because of its efficacy (particularly in hypercapnic patients), achievable goals and because it can be outside the intensive care unit [2]. The benefits of NIV are still under investigation in various hypoxaemic respiratory failure (HRF) aetiologies, such as asthma, pneumonia, immunosuppression and acute respiratory distress syndrome [1].
