Helmet NIV in Acute Respiratory Failure

Acute Respiratory Failure

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a form of respiratory support that has been shown to prevent invasive mechanical ventilation and reduce mortality. This study will investigate the feasibility of performing a larger study examining whether a new modality of NIV, the helmet, is superior to the current face mask in reducing mortality in patients with sudden respiratory failure.
