Experience of step-wise protocol using noninvasive positive pressure ventilation for treating cardiogenic pulmonary edema
European Journal of Emergency Medicine, 08/26/2011
Momii H et al. – There was no intubation nor complication related to noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV). In most of the cases, maximal–end expiratory pressure was less than 7–cm H2O. This simple step–wise NIPPV protocol for acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) can facilitate quick and safe initiation and termination of the treatment.
