Abstract

Treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) involves mechanical ventilation via endotracheal intubation (INV). Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIV) using the Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) can be safe and effective in improving gas exchange. The aim of the study is to assess NIV (BiPAP) as an alternative method for ventilation in ARF and to determine factors that predict the successful use of BiPAP.
