Patients require ventilatory assistance to reduce the PaCO2 Fig. 1) and/or to improve oxygenation Fig. 2). If they can receive appropriate non-invasive ventilatory assistance, patients are spared the discomfort and risks associated with ETI. Although studies suggest that NPPV is associated with a reduced incidence of nosocomial pneumonia, methodological problems mandate re investigation of this issue. Potential benefits must be balanced against the discomfort of a nasal or facial mask and risks specific to NPPV eg, failure to provide sufficient oxygenation or CO2 elimination, eye or nasal trauma, gastric distension/aspiration). The goals of NPPV differ depending upon the clinical context. During acute decompensations of asthma or COPD, the goal is to reduce CO2 by unloading the respiratory muscles and augmenting alveolar ventilation, thereby stabilizing arterial pH until the underlying problem can be reversed. When employed during episodes of hypoxemic ARF the goal is to ensure an adequate PaO2 until the underlying problem can be reversed. When applied continuously to patients with chronic ventilatory failure the goal of NPPV is to provide sufficient oxygenation and/or CO2 elimination to sustain life by reversing atelectasis or resting the respiratory muscles. When applied intermittently to patients with OHS, the goal is to limit sleep-and position-in-
