Abstract

BackgroundThe use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in critically ill patients has dramatically increased [1] as it significantly reduces the work of breathing in patients with acute respiratory failure, thereby reducing the need for intubation [2, 3]. Although NIV is frequently used in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, its failure rate remains high (25–59%) [4–9], indicating that not all patients benefit from this treatment.
