Mechanical ventilation in emergency departments: non invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation. Where is the answer?

Antonio M Esquinas Rodriguez et al. Scand J Trauma Resusc Emerg Med. .

Abstract

The Emergency Department length of stay for patients requiring mechanical ventilation paper in this issue is very illustrative of many variables that still confound the way we treat patients that may not require endotracheal intubation (ETI) but may benefit from non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) [1].
