Noninvasive mechanical ventilation has managed to establish itself as
the treatment option for a wide variety of causes of acute and chronic
respiratory failure in different settings in hospital and home
noninvasive mechanical ventilation. In the last decades, we have
discovered its positive effects on gas exchange and symptoms such as
dyspnea control, widely contrasted against endotracheal intubation.
However, although this wide range of beneficial effects have been
described, pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of
noninvasive mechanical complications could not be forgotten for a
correct application as they clearly affect patient outcome and
mortality. Nowadays, there is a scarce number of publications analyzing
noninvasive mechanical ventilation complications and this book is the
first dedicated to its analysis. This book brings together a broad
multidisciplinary vision of common and unusual complications, thus it
serves as the original and essential scientific published reference on
noninvasive mechanical ventilation complications. The present book has
been structured to offer through its sections and chapters an
exhaustive and in-depth analysis of noninvasive mechanical ventilation
complications, mechanisms, direct or indirect factors determinants, key
recommendations for the early diagnosis and treatment for most
frequent applications from multidisciplinary perspective. Finally, we
analyze noninvasive mechanical ventilation complications and how they
impact in short- and long-term complications and mortality. The book
concludes analyzing evidence in diagnosis, prevention and treatment. We
believe that the readers of this book will find in it an essential
reference for a correct application of noninvasive mechanical
ventilation, and thus be able to improve results and prognosis. Only
the precise knowledge of complications of noninvasive mechanical
ventilation will allow us to achieve a proper application to success.
