| Abstract | Restricting the benefit of clinical research to randomized clinical trials would be a mistake in the field of non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Observational studies, physiological studies, and matched paired case-control studies have put together an enormous body evidence demonstrating the benefits of NIV and the working mechanisms of this technique. The randomized controlled trials have confirmed the evidence and helped to more formally indicate when NIV should be a first line treatment. Randomized controlled trials, however, are non-blinded, are highly selective regarding the inclusion of patients, and do not represent the real life. Additional studies conducted out of the context of clinical trials are of utmost importance to ensure that the results of these trials can be observed in real life. In this chapter, the main studies focusing on the efficacy of NIV in acute respiratory failure will be reviewed. Articles published in non-English language and meta-analysis will not be considered. When data are available, the discussion will address the type of ventilatory modality. |
