With endemic and high-risk infection, most of the critically ill patients develop acute lung injury (ALI) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). A year later, the British Thoracic Society (BTS) published guidelines on the use of NIV in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF). The Canadian Critical Care Trials group made no recommendations about the use of NIV in ARDS patients or those with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in 2011 [ 5 ] . • Current guidelines do not recommend NIV for the treatment of hypoxemic respiratory failure in endemic and pandemic infections (e.g., SARS or H1N1).
