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].The possibility of avoiding adverse events by recommending early determination of mask-on proportions in the first 24 h of admission and, consequently, NIV failure in ARF patients https://bit.ly/2T0QYVN ER -
