Abstract
In most cases of acute respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation and endotracheal intubation are the preferred treatment. However, a noninvasive approach is proving valuable in selected patients and has some advantages over standard mechanical ventilation. How are patients selected for this therapy? What are its risks and benefits? The authors discuss the usefulness and potential role of this important new technique.Keywords
