Rello et al described NIV use at ICU admission in 1 of 3 patients with H1N1 virus and respiratory failure, but 75% of them had an unfavorable clinical course and required tracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. In a position statement, the Australian Society for Infectious Diseases recommends "reserving negative-pressure ventilation rooms (if available) for intensive care patients, especially those receiving non-invasive ventilation." 31 The UK Department of Health, in "Guidance for infection control in critical care for pandemic influenza," approved the use of NIV under strict infection control measures.	./cache/cord-352577-h3652seb.txt	./txt/cord-352577-h3652seb.txt
