Abstract
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be effective in treating acute respiratory failure (ARF) due to a variety of causes [1, 2], including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [3], neuromuscular diseases [4], and obesity-hypoventilation syndrome [5, 6]. NIV can augment ventilation and unloading of respiratory muscles, reduce atelectasis, and splint the upper airway in obstructive sleep apnea.
