About the Case Presentation
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a critical intervention for managing acute respiratory failure, offering support without the need for intubation. It is particularly effective in conditions such as COPD exacerbations, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and certain cases of hypoxemic respiratory failure. NIV improves gas exchange, reduces the work of breathing, and decreases the risk of ventilator-associated complications. Challenges include patient selection, ensuring mask fit, and managing intolerance or air leaks. Early initiation, close monitoring, and appropriate settings are essential for success. While NIV can prevent intubation in many cases, timely escalation to invasive ventilation is crucial when clinical goals are not met.
