This article reviews the literature of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in patients with acute respiratory failure. The article divides acute respiratory failure into the categories of primary ventilation failure and oxygenation failure, and examines various diagnostic groups within these categories. Although the use of NPPV for patients with acute respiratory failure of other etiologies requires further study, the authors conclude that there is sufficient evidence to support the use of NPPV in acute, severe exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
本文综述了无创正压通气（NPPV）用于急性呼吸衰竭患者的相关文献。文章将急性呼吸衰竭分为原发性通气衰竭和氧合衰竭两类，并研究了这些类别中的各种诊断分组。虽然将NPPV用于其他病因的急性呼吸衰竭患者还需要进一步研究，但作者得出结论，有充分证据支持在慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性重度加重期使用NPPV。
