Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) delivers life-saving positive pressure support without intubation. Backed by strong evidence in COPD and cardiogenic pulmonary edema, NIV reduces mortality and prevents intubation when applied correctly. Success depends on careful patient selection, close monitoring in the first hours, and the right interface fit. In hypoxemic respiratory failure, however, delayed intubation can worsen outcomes — making early recognition of failure critical. With new tools like helmet NIV and high-flow nasal oxygen, the role of non-invasive ventilation in critical care is rapidly evolving. […]
