Abstract
In conclusion, the use of non-invasive ventilation to support patients presenting to the emergency department with respiratory failure and community acquired pneumonia is common and is associated with a significant failure rate. Hemodynamic support is a strong predictor of failure. The selection of the appropriate patient and monitoring of physiological parameters while on NIV is crucial to ensure successful treatment.
