Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation for ALI/ARDS:a Multicentre Randomized Controlled Trial

Lead Sponsor:

Beijing Chao Yang Hospital

Conditions:

Acute Lung Injury

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-70 years

Phase:

PHASE1

Brief Summary

with appropriate inspired oxygen concentrations, NPPV would prevent intubation and hence avert the poor outcome associated with the need of invasive ventilation in patients with ALI/ARDS.

Detailed Description

Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) is increasingly being used in the care of patients suffering acute respiratory failure. High-level evidence supports the use of NPPV to treat exacerbat...
