PY - 2015 DA - 2015/03/06 TI - Failed noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation is associated with an increased risk of intubation-related complications JO - Annals of Intensive Care SP - 4 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NIPPV) use has increased in the treatment of patients with respiratory failure. However, despite decreasing the need for intubation in some patients, there are no data regarding the risk of intubation-related complications associated with delayed intubation in adult patients who fail NIPPV. The objective of this study is to evaluate the odds of a composite complication of intubation following failed NIPPV compared to patients intubated primarily in the medical intensive care unit (ICU).
