The Cause of Acute Respiratory Failure Predicts the Outcome of Noninvasive Ventilation in Immunocompromised Children.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) may be superior to conventional therapy in immunocompromised children with respiratory failure. ⋯ The prognosis of ARF in immunocompromised children remains guarded independent of initial success or failure of NIV due to a high rate of recurrent ARF. Reversible causes like bacterial sepsis had a higher NIV response rate. Relevant side effects of NIV were observed.
