Excerpt

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) is the support of the ventilation of the patient using kinds of mechanical means but without intubation. The advantages of NIMV are well known (autonomous interruption and adaptation, intervals in use, self-performed, no humidification needed, no sedation, possibility of expectorations, coughing, talking, feeding, and so on) and the disadvantages of IMV (during intubation [spasm, heart attack, dilatation of stomach], during IMV obstruction, ventilator-associated pneumonia [VAP], take-off, after intubation, tracheostomia). …
