Efects of Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation and Conventional Mechanical Ventilation in Patients With Severe Comunity Pneumonia (NIMV AND SCAP)

August 30, 2007 updated by: Hospital Privado del Sur

Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation in Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia and Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure. A Prospective, Randomized and Controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the noninvasive ventilation is more effective in the treatment of severe comunity acquired pneumonia in comparison with the conventional mechanical ventilation with orotracheal intubation.
