[Non-invasive ventilation in immunosuppressed patients].
In immunosuppressed patients with acute respiratory insufficiency (ARI) mechanical ventilation is associated with a high mortality. Therefore, in this situation, avoidance of intubation could be an important objective. However, experience of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the immunosuppressed remains limited. ⋯ NIV leads to an improvement in the prognosis of some immunosuppressed patients admitted to intensive care.
