Non-Invasive Ventilation in a Non-Standard Setting – Is it Safe to Ventilate Outside the ICU?

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is considered a fundamental method in treating patients with various disorders, requiring respiratory support. Often the lack of beds in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the concomitant medical conditions, which refer patients as unsuitable for aggressive treatment in...
