Recommendations for emergent treatment of life-threatening, critical CAO before bronchoscopic intervention are not well established. Furthermore, reports of NIV use in CAO are rare. We suggest that emergency physicians consider NIV as a temporizing measure for critical CAO while awaiting availability of bronchoscopy.
