Abstract

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is indicated in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) and acute respiratory failure because it reduces the need for endotracheal intubation and lowers mortality rates. The choice between noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is often related to the expertise and skills of the medical team. NPPV offers the advantage over CPAP of reducing the work of respiratory muscles, thereby quickly reducing the sensation of dyspnea. NIV can be safely used in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by acute respiratory failure due to ACPE.
