Abstract
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is currently an essential component in the management of acute respiratory failure (ARF) in the emergency department and the intensive care unit (ICU) [1]. During the 1950s, the widespread use of the iron lung during the polio epidemic increased the survival rate of patients with respiratory failure [2, 3]. Although the use of NIV has increased and the number of articles on NIV has increased rapidly over the past decades [3–5], there are still insufficient data concerning the applicability of NIV in patients with ARF due to pulmonary infections, such as H1N1, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), tuberculosis, and other infectious agents. NIV had been used in patients with SARS in the 2002–2003 outbreaks and during the H1N1 influenza epidemic in 2009. In recent years, the use of NIV has been extended to patients with respiratory failure due to a wide spectrum of infectious diseases. They include but are not limited to the SARS and avian influenza (H5N1) pandemic.
