Association of Noninvasive Oxygenation Strategies With All-Cause Mortality in Adults With Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure

Category: Article Summary

Topic: Clinical Characteristics and Health Care Setting

• A meta-analysis of randomized trials found that among patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, treatment with helmet or facemask non–invasive ventilation was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and intubation compared to standard oxygen therapy alone.
