Defining severe pneumonia
2011, Clinics in Chest MedicinePredictors of failure of noninvasive ventilation in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia
2010, Journal of Critical CareCitation Excerpt :A percentage ranging from 60% to 90% of patients with CAP develop acute respiratory failure (ARF) and require intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV) as a life-support treatment, whereas appropriate antibiotic therapy is being established. A number of studies, however, indicate that invasive MV is associated with high rates of serious complications and mortality [2-4]. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) refers to the delivery of assisted MV without an invasive airway conduit.
