NIV is applied in patients with a "do not intubate" order, as a palliative measure in terminally ill patients, to prevent extubation failure in patients with COPD or heart failure, for communityacquired pneumonia (CAP) in COPD patients, to prevent and treat postoperative respiratory failure, and to prevent ARF due to asthma. [ 2 ] , which included eight RCTs that had studied patients with AHRF secondary to causes other than ACPO, the NIV reduced the ETI rate by 23 %, the length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) by 2 days, and ICU mortality by 17 % (absolute risk reduction). [ 8 ] , in a prospective observational study, compared the effi cacy of NIV in patients without COPD but with hypoxemic respiratory failure due to ACPO (15 patients) or severe CAP (18 patients).	./cache/cord-017240-2vqehqfh.txt	./txt/cord-017240-2vqehqfh.txt
