Abstract

The most recent clinical practice guidelines by ERS/ATS for the use of NIV for ARF were published in 2017. These guidelines focused mainly on NIPPV. We will review these guidelines and analyze studies that followed temporally, focusing on new applications of NIPPV, data for the use of HFNC, as well as any comparisons between the two strategies. Mainly electronic databases were searched (GOOGLE SCHOLAR, PubMed, and Cochrane library) from 2017 to 2019. Many disease processes can result in a combination of ARF with hypercapnia as well as hypoxia. We attempt to organize noninvasive ventilation application by categorizing data from studies investigating each individually; nevertheless, overlap is unavoidable.
